I'd say Bobo would be perfect for the series, as well Big Mean Carl! Looks like spring 2011 is when the Muppet figure, toy and merch avalanche begins!(Star Wars Muppets action figures, etc)

Well these aren't figurines, but more in the category of statues. But I like the watery mosaic look of them. I say the more high and low end Muppet merch the better!

I'm sure you've heard of this, if not...basically, there are now super high end printers that can print out highly detailed painted plastic action figures. Watch these if ya dont believe it: http://www.pddnet.com/news-three-dimensional-printing-making-your-band-102109/...

If EVERY kid was raised on Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock or the Muppets or localized/foreign versions thereof...I'd wager we'd have no wars, conflicts and much less problems in the world.

Haters gonna hate! Thing is, with the very small minority of online Muppet haters, they have no sense of imagination or true magic. If you're a human being and you're not touched by the kind naive warmth and fun of Fozzie, or Kermit, or Gonzo or the fancy of Fraggle Rock or any of the Jim Henson...

Haha, dude we get it...you hate the Oz film:) Don't worry, I share your sentiments and then some. It seems MWOZ was kind of this project that had to be done, not out of any inspiration but more over an agreement. It kept being talked about, and then there it was. So finally it got released, and...

Yeah my mom loved seeing Rowlf on the Jimmy Dean show as a kid herself in the early 1960's. Amazing how many people have been touched or entertained by the Muppets in the last 55 years. But yeah the Muppets until the Muppet Show were essentially Kermit, Rowlf and a revolving roster of 'made for...

Oh I absolutely consider any character related to Sesame worlds a Muppet. As well, anything out of Jim Henson's doodle book or illustrations(including City Critters) Scary Scary Monsters, while only existing as a short series of kids books from the late 1990's are definitely Muppets(Splurge of...

Even after the Disney buyout and the splintering of ownership(divided by JHC, Disney and Sesame Workshop) many fans of the legacy of Jim Henson generally consider any puppet or full body costume made by JHC outside of the creature shop/fantasy realm to be a "Muppet". Be it Bear in the Big blue...

Something always struck me as being quite, well "Muppety" regarding a lot of baseball mascots(like the Phillies Phanatics) or the Mcdonaldland puppets used in Mcdonalds commercials in the 1980's. I then stumbled across the work of Bonnie Erickson: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Bonnie_Erickson...

Oh the puppet build of Clifford is amazing and quite striking. I thought Clifford was perfect as the host of Muppets Tonight. We have to remember that at the time there was a perception of the need for an urban(read: black) persona for "hip" credability in the 1990's. I see nothing wrong with...

It's interesting how in the first wave of the Muppets(1955-1975) Rowlf was the main character next to Kermit. From Jimmy Dean to the origins of Sesame Street segment. In the second wave(1976-1989) he was there but took a more backseat approach. And sadly in the third wave(1990-present) he is...

Whoah whoah whoah...I agree with you 100% on every single point you made(and man do we need more Rowlf like something fierce!) but you don't like Murray? In my 30 plus years of watching Muppety stuff, I'd have to say Murray is leaps and bounds one of the most amazing and quirky fun new...

I think we all have both the pessimist and overly enthusiastic sides to us. While some fans are excited about anything new coming out, and some are naturally cynical(or stuck thinking the Muppets are purely "classic" in a 1970's sort of way) I think it's good to just go by a case x case basis...

Well it's obvious the show is rather quaint...err, to put it more bluntly, tumbleweeds with a side of crickets. On one hand, Im eager to see ANY new Muppet or Henson Alternative work no matter the quality...just to see it out there. On the other hand, like you said it lacks a pop. We've seen...

Well it's telling that we've seen Bobo, Sal, Johnny, Van Neuter, etc post MT 96-97 era. Have we seen Andy/Randy, Bill Bubbles, Poodlepants or Spamela in the last decade? Yeah Digit was amazing, Lindburgh, Zondra, and Leon I'd add in too(I think Chip and Zondra have been used since then)...

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something by early next year, hopefully a summer weekend thing. DL or WDW, I'll be there! I mean it'll be 56 years of Kermit and the Muppets, and the road to the first theatrical release in 12 years...and overall(from what I gather) Disney's big massive push.

Man, how did I forget Pepe? He's like my second favorite Muppet of all time. I LOVVVVE Bobo as well. Disney NEEDS to make a Bobo vinylmation.

You bring up a lot of good and intriguing points! Did the Animal/bunny thing begin on Muppet Babies? Because most of the Animal sketches on Muppets.com involve the dynamic between him and "Bunny". I never really realized the space connection with Gonzo before, or the door portal connection on...

I would definitely agree about Weird Al and Flight of the Conchords. And it'd definitely be a boost to have Lady Gaga appear with them(actually, didnt she appear with that faux Kermit last september?)
