Oh very much still in biz. I go regularly to nifty little vinyl figure shops and they always have the latest Mindstyle, like Mechtorians. Its too bad they dropped the Fraggle thing, but least we had the Doozer figurines from 2003

Given how tiny the Muppet fan community is, we have a rich illustrious tradition of nit picking and OCD inspecting/ripping apart and analyzing the smallest detail(Man, Im surprised some people on here didnt give poor Ken Lilly a stroke!) I obviously don't have access to numbers, but let's...

Wearing a Muppet t-shirt in Muppet might beckon forth a lot of smiles on the every day public's faces; but where are the Muppet fans online? How come Firefly/Serenity, BSG, heck even Farscape has this zealous tight knit army of online fans able to create conventions on the spot...yet the...

Well thats why I wish they could do two movies back to back. One that features Segal, Adams and "Walter" aimed at the Apatow/Segal crowd, and one that is a purely Muppet focused movie. I think it's become an emerging concern that the Muppets could play second fiddle to their own movie. I...

Well there's no doubt he does in fact look just like any generic "professional hand rod puppet" sold on ebay for schools/churches/teaching, and you have to think they went out of their way to create a purposefully generic character. Now, either he's going to be likeable and just what the...

Given the film comes out Christmas next year, Im pretty sure we're going to be seeing merchandise wayyy before that. My money is on the springtime. Certainly at Disney parks, they'll be getting a megaload of merch. I lovvvved TMNT 2007 beyond words, but Astro Boy I never saw. They seemed to...

I wonder how well the dub will be, as Im so used to associating a character's voice with the person performing him(save for points where Oz or Nelson couldnt be on set) I wonder if they'll teach Cera a little bit of onset puppety? :excited: I've noticed that too... that Muppets Tonight took...

I agree that for what they are going for, a zealous wannabe but likeable humanoid fan who aspires to meet and fit in with the core Muppet gang, it certainly works. Though, if this is going to be the "face" of the movie and have subsequent merchandise...he does seem a bit plain. This Walter kid...

Not detailed so much, as the shape, contour, and style that made those classic guys great. The Creature Shop meets Muppet look for the Muppet Television/JHH show may have been too much for people, as we sadly have not seen Digit, Leon, Lindburgh and company since. And I'd have to strongly...

One of the aims seems to be to market this as a Segal movie, for fans of Sarah/Greek and HIMYM as well as the hip Apatow going crowd. So they may go out of their way to shape the film in that direction. I am taken aback how the core Muppets seem to be in the backseat this go around, which...

Agree on all comments! The buying of Marvel Ent was pure genius, and really fills a major gap. House of Mouse from the 90's was pure genius...a pretty much Roger Rabbit of the entire Disney canon, with some pretty obscure references aplenty. Timon and Pumba was genius I thought too...

You know, I have to say...perhaps Disney would not have the money to throw toward projects huge nerds like you and I love(Muppets, Tron, etc) if it wasnt for the tween stuff. I mean, did you ever think youd have BOTH a Darkwing and Muppet series regularly appearing at your local comic store...

Eh, it works for what it does...and given I doubt too many people other than curious housewives and mostly us hardcore fans are even watching; I say they're doing just fine. The fact we're getting more new Muppet spoofs, sketches and zanyness is nothing but good news. Angelo may ultimately...

Eh, I say who cares. Disney magic doesn't hold a candle to the magic of Jim Henson and the Muppets(as much as like everyone else I am a fan of classic Disney animation and the theme parks) You cant go and meet the "real" Mickey, but you can sure go to a q and a with Steve Whitmire and Kermit...

I like the heavier Piggy, but does anyone know why they replaced the amazing 2008-2010 Gonzo as seen in Letters to Santa, youtube vrmup and Muppets.com stuff to...well this current shrimpy weird eyed Gonzo imposter?

Well yeah, they've given P and F the all out Toy Story 3/Justin Beiber/holy crap I cant go anywhere without seeing their stuff treatment. I can only hope they do the same for the Muppets next year. I say its high time they come up with new Muppet characters, even if its to the chagrin of...

Oh definitely, in fact it looks right out of Muppet Magazine from the 80's. Total classic and a clear homage to the 'good ol days' My ONLY complaint thus far is the date. Though I also realize they are thinking that a summer date might not fare as well, as traditionally that is a very risky...

Which worries me, as I have not heard of any mention of him in the original script. I cant imagine a Muppet film without him being one of the main characters Oh I consider Roger Rabbit nothing short of visionary, and even having recently seen it I am absolutely blown away by it...and am sad...

Man, I am sooo loving this spread...even if Gonzo's new eyes still throw me off http://www.toughpigs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ew-50.jpg

Yeah I doubt Zach would get nixed because of his Bill Maher thing...if anything to the audience Segal is trying to reach, that builds his "cred" Im kind of confused, because I think we may have two completely different visions of this project going on. Disney thinking they have a new family...
