    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Oh totally. I actually even mentioned this a few pages back. I believe they even had Toy Story 3 this year. It's sad, but there is not one single plush in stores, and virtually no Muppet merchandise period at stores(other than an Animal or Kermit hat or shirt at Spencers or Walmart) Just...

    We Have a Picture of Walter AND MORE NEWS!

    It does feel like they wrote, shot and released LTS rather quickly. As I've mentioned before, to me it's the first "special" that has that film look. There's something really special about LTS that I didn't feel about VMMCM(which, even though its longer and you get the full on muppet theater...

    Is a Pepe Plush a dream or reality?

    Oh my gosh, he wasn't kidding: http://cgi.ebay.com/Muppets-Pepe-Prawn-9-Plush-Doll-Nanco-Popular-/250739878589?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a6142eabd Are people that insane? These things were just going for 7 bucks a month ago from the same buyer. This musta been a spoof bid war or...

    Is a Pepe Plush a dream or reality?

    Do you mean for this coming February Toy Fair? Or is there another Toy Fair? Sorry the Pook a Looz ends with the $20 piggy, but hey least the vinylmations are going into series 2. I bet making a Chef or Beaker custom made pook a looz from scratch wouldnt be too hard. In fact Disney was going...

    We Have a Picture of Walter AND MORE NEWS!

    Yeah wayyy too many threads keep getting threadcromanced or made. The big news besides Peter Linz being the performer/voice of Walter, is that this will be a "full on musical" according to Segal with "10-12" original songs. Knowing the Flight of the Conchords goofy genius, I can only...

    Disney's New Muppets Logo

    I definitely do not like it. The first thing that popped in my mind immediately was the Monsters Inc logo. How's it's this ultra generic "impact" type bold font with Disney trying to do a cutesy M http://www.importadisk.com/Reviews/Monsters-inc-cover.jpg This is my favorite logo(circa...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    You talking about the vinyl "retro roto" figures or the older sets? Ha, I got the playset *just* for the exclusive Wily. I wonder if we're talking about two different figures. The one I got is the "Sonic Adventure Dr Robotnik" that came with Baby Kiki the monkey and was released in 2000...

    Passing the Torch? Or warping young minds?

    I believe NOT raising children from a very young infant age on Jim Henson/Bear in the Big Blue House/Muppet/Sesame related material is wrong. Especially in this day and age, the world more than ever needs the warm fun and amazing themes of Fraggle Rock, Sesame and the good cheer and comradery of...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Not sure why people think that the possibility even exists of a re-release of the Palisades figures. Basically just get out your wallets and go to ebay.com, as you really would have to realize the molds and intricate process(which many of us followed with Palisades from 2001-2005), not to...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    For those of us not traditionally bound by a need to wait, we already have all 8 seasons of Muppet Babies on dvd(as well as near perfect versions of the full 1987 airing of MFC) :excited: If companies refuse to release shows like Muppet Babies or Rocko's Modern Life, then they have to...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Actually it seems like Metal Sonic is the big favorite now, since they have three different sized figures of him at TRU. Silver the hedgehog and Shadow are also given merchandise as of late. I love the fat Eggman UFO plushes on ebay. Even cartoon Eggman was cool. I think the only Rogue figure...

    There's already been a "Best of The Muppets on Ed Sullivan" dvd, released in 2003. Truly amazing and must have release http://www.amazon.com/Ed-Sullivan-Muppets-Magic/dp/B0000AGQ2P

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Someone on the last page mused about the possibility of Muppet show characters ever cameo'ing on modern day Sesame. I do recall Kermit being on Elmo's World a few years ago. Also I think a painting of Dr Teeth is present in some super old Sesame skit. There's a lot of oddball cameos of Muppets...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    Oh I just meant odd as we usually don't hear of LA/Hollywood being known for major current oil production, like say the Gulf coast region or Texas. But I think the plot device works. I'm worried about the Muppet telethon idea making the film lose a bit of steam...not saying it's anticlimactic...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Um, Eggman(is he referred to as Robotnik by anyone? I know most fans call him Eggman) has been represented in both the Toy Island and the Jazwares lines. The Jazwares lines are very new. Remember that it began last year with just the 5" Sonic/Knight/Were-Sonic and a few of the super posers. They...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Like that "I Love The Muppets" Dutch special from a few years back? I do think a "Why We Love The Muppets/Behind The Scenes/Retrospective/Kermit interviewing random people on the street on why they love the Muppets" special would be PERFECT. Seriously, I wear my furry animal, fozzie or kermit...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Ooh good list! A "Sesame Unpaved" type of Muppet book would indeed be wonderful. We WERE suppose to get such a thing for Fraggle Rock, but it got canceled. If youve ever seen that amazingly illustrated 1978 Muppet Show book, it'd be nice if they reprinted that or made a new one. I think that...

    1. An official Muppet fan weekend at Disneyland. Kind of like what they used to do for Star Wars fans(the SW Celebration Weekends at parks) I'd almost say we should start a petition to let Disney know how awesome such a thing would be. Again, would be perfect not just because the...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    As a huge Sonic fan, Im happy to see Sonic stuff selling out the most and fastest at all Toys R Us's it seems. Kids cant seem to get enough of even the more obscure Sonic universe characters. I dont see anyone buying wrasslin figures, and I think everyone by now is a bit star wars'd out.

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    Bear was at Muppetfest, but I think that even though Bear was technically part of the JHC "Muppet buyout", that Disney would see the character as part of the Muppets brand. It would be super cool tho. I agree 100% that Disney NEEDS to run Bear on one of their channels. Given how many...
