    Spencer's Muppet Merchandise

    Oh same here, I couldn't stand feetsie pj's. Ive always been extra warm and heat sensitive, but also if I need footcoverings Im all about my dorky socks. But man, I had the coolest(in retrospect) Star Wars pj's back in the day. Now days my "pj's" are usually boxers and old band t-shirts. One...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    I still cant believe most movie comic hero tiein toys just have the main character and none of the villians(ie: Iron Man 2) so odd. Btw I saw a buttload of Megamind stuff at my local TRU and thought of you. I wish I wasnt so broke id get you some. Funny they are $10, but so are the dinky little...

    New Muppet Movie to be Filled with Cameos

    Um, to me and a lot of people a lot of the "stars" of the first three movies are rather...well, dated. Same with the Muppet show. I guess maybe if someone is a broadway showtune or classic movie affacianado, but for every Orson Welles or Richard Pryor, there was someone none of us can even remember.

    New Muppet Movie to be Filled with Cameos

    Ya for being almost 33!(feb 8th 1978 for me!) According to my mom, Ive been a huge Muppet/Henson/Sesame nut since birth. For me it's simply about good writing, heart, chemistry and flow. Something that's been decidedly lacking in much too many post JH productions. While I can see the whole...

    New Muppet movie pics! Amy Adams! The Muppet Show Sign!

    I dont ever watch tv, so I'll trust ya on the lack of tv promotion...tho my friend swears he saw a ton of tv spots for it. At least online i saw ads for it and buzz everywhere. I guess "geek chic" isnt as big as i thought, despite the popularity of retro gaming and big bang theory. I loved the...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Ha, I thought of you when I saw the Marvel "MUSCLE" little toys. Man, I seriously remember getting up at ungodly hours as a kid. pretty much from 1981 til the early 2000's(about 20 years) I was a HUGE saturday morning cartoon fan, in particular the 1984-1990 period. Seriously, it didnt...

    New Muppet movie pics! Amy Adams! The Muppet Show Sign!

    Well we have to remember there is a big difference between a film being good and a film tanking. Scott Pilgrim utterly failed at the box office, but a lot of the critics and most movie goers of the movie's targeted demographic loved it

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    I think in some ways these liberals have been just as nanny state censorship as their republican counterparts. "Veggie Monster", old school Sesame is "too un-PC", happy meals/advertising cartoons are "bad"....yeah, just no. There's a reason people wish they were around or fondly recall the...

    I dont like the show either, though I LOVED last week's The Office episode about Glee watching parties. But I just liked Rocky Horror was introduced to a whole new generation of tv goers with Glee

    Muppet Vinylmation Series 2

    The good thing is on ebay, you can pretty much get the specific vinylmation you want for about $10-$12 total. Been wanting Bean Bunny for awhile, and I never liked the whole blind box concept. I still cant find or get ahold of City Creatures though. The Fraggle stuff by Mindstyle looked like...

    Why I think Floyd and Janice are more than friends

    Holy threadcromance! And wait, someone didn't know Floyd and Janice are a couple? They are pretty much the only Muppet couple besides Kermit/Piggy and Gonzo/Camila as far as main characters.

    New Muppet movie pics! Amy Adams! The Muppet Show Sign!

    True...normally for big tentpole movies Im excited about(Dark Knight, Tron Legacy, etc) I'll see a few onset pics and youtube spycam stuff when production first begins. But then I will purposefully avoid news/pics/video for the course of the year and a half or more until the film comes out...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    I have no idea why there hasnt been exclusive online content for Fraggles, even if it is just Red. Though a rebuilt Matt would be great too. Even just Red interviewing random celebs would be cool. So far, only some fan shot video of Red in 2008 comic con and 2010 in an LA comic shop(which in...

    I myself find the 2k3 April way more attractive, but then again I found the mousy receptionist on The Real Ghostbusters to be quite a looker:3 Still, I gotta give it up for the yellow jumpsuit! Btw, did you see the Turtles Forever animated movie?

    New Muppet movie pics! Amy Adams! The Muppet Show Sign!

    So amazing...not only to see all these set dressings, but finally the principle stars in character. Amy Adams looks even more gorgeous with the post pregnancy weight gain, her style/look reminding me of a starlet from the 50's. Seeing the backshot of Amy, Segal and "Walter" walking together is...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Given projects with a much much higher profile(and profitability) have even been shelved for now under the Weinstein banner, its difficult to see if FR the movie will be made. I think it was two years ago when the iron was hot...and JHC should have just done a straight to dvd release through...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    I never got into Chowder(cant stand that style of animation) but Im sure Chowder merch has come out somewhere? It took a few years for Invader Zim merchandise to trickle out. I dont know about your TRU, but all the TRU's near me have a ton of Megamind stuff. I just have zero interest in...

    Spencer's Muppet Merchandise

    I have noticed an emphasis, almost entirely on the late 80's turtles. I believe I know what piece of merchandise Drtooth is referring to, something so adult I doubt any kid could pick up the message. However I just love the iconography of the turtles and pizza! I find it curious Sesame...
