    Bert and Ernie Gay Rumor: Settled

    Ha, yeah I noticed the back. I saw that at Hot Topic and couldn't help but smile. I think it's good SW is appealing to all markets, even the emo mall youth as seen recently at Spencers. Heck they rushed out a take on SNL's "Im on a Boat" viral video with a shirt. You know, someone brought...

    Bert and Ernie Gay Rumor: Settled

    @DW Mckim: How did I miss that post! That made me almost tear up; as you perfectly summed up the real message going on. Most guys in America are so on edge, they would never cry in front of their friends...or even alone. Or give a firm hug, and talk about feelings. That's the problem with...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock The Animated Series DVD

    Anyone know why they couldn't get the real cast? I actually have no complaints with the show, other than how short it lasted. I grew up on the show(was 9-10 when it aired) and I was exposed to this more than the live action one. Also, the animation is pretty much on par with everything else...

    Why Did Boom! Change Their Paper?

    So, why is Boom one of the only companies releasing comics on such horrible paper, when even the super low run indie publishers all are doing glossy high quality color comics? Disney's work shineth not I'm afraid.

    I'd love to see Muppet shirts period. I found this seriously cool Matrix like Beaker shirt at Hot Topic back in 2003, never saw it again since. I remember a number of rare Muppet shirts Hot Topic would get. I heard Planet 51 was rated as one of the worst cgi movies of all time, and one of...

    James Bobin to direct Muppets new theatrical movie

    As Frogboy says, I won't believe it til it's actually in theaters...though, I try and be more reasonable and say I never believe a movie is actually being made til we see a teaser trailer or pictures from principal photography.

    James Bobin to direct Muppets new theatrical movie

    If this means Jemaine Clement would be in it, I'm all for it. Though, I can't really recall his cinematography style though I liked what I saw of Flight of the Conchords(again, LOVE anything Jemaine Clement is in!) I sometimes get Flight of the Conchords mixed up with The Mighty Boosh. At...

    Some stuff popping in at Disney Stores...

    While FYE, Marshalls, Kohls, Big Lots and Ross are all selling Terminator Salvation figures for literally a couple bucks; Toys R Us still has at all their stores a huge aisle selling them at full price. ($10-$14) NEVER in the decades of collecting figures have I ever seen a toy series get such a...

    Your Thoughts: MC’s 12th Birthday

    Hey, you forgot the awesome mega cool "Muppetfest" of 2001:) I didn't find MC til the fall of 1998, as before I had mostly just checked out little fan pages and alt.rec groups before I found it. It is surreal to think it's been that long, it seems almost like yesterday! I remember chatting...

    Some stuff popping in at Disney Stores...

    Oh ye have little faith. As you mentioned, it was only a few years ago we saw a ton of great Muppet merchandise all over the place. From the Starbucks mini Muppet plushes to all the Palisades stuff, to even the Fraggle Rock stuff...all amazing. So I wouldnt be surprised if there's some...

    1. What is your gender? male(Koozebanian?) 2. Do you consider yourself a Muppet fan? Been a rabidly obsessed fan and collector of the Muppets/all Henson related works since I was 3 years old in the early 80's 3. Which is your favorite Muppet? Beaker of course, but Digit and Wembley Fraggle...

    Main characters = most common?

    Is it odd that I'm almost 32, yet any mention of the Ninja Turtles to this day gets me excited? Does it make me a bad Muppet fan to say I am way more fond of Muppet show Schleich/Applause/Comics Spain PVCs, Fisher Price 1978 action figures and Jack in the Box 2003 action figures than I am...

    Not sure I dig the style of Kermit stuff they have, but yeah it's a start. And having all the main and side Muppets on the water bottle is good. I cant wait for the *real* Muppet merchandise to come around though. And sadly, Disney refuses to ship out more than one Up pvc set to a few select...

    What if Fraggle Rock could have been seen by all?

    What if instead of just the lucky few who could afford HBO on top of cable; every kid in America could have had the chance to see Fraggle Rock? Imagine how many more fans there'd be, heck the Weinstein movie would probably have more juice behind it given EVERYONE would have remembered Fraggle...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock The Animated Series DVD

    Just got it for $15 at Best Buy. Sadly I have to report there's no real bonus features cept' the new Frith interview(which is rather short) but who would have ever thought something so obscure would have a full proper dvd release? The transfer is not very good, but its just amazing to have...
