    New Disney Muppets Figures Revealed

    Still, you have to admit they'd go perfect with the City Critters line. Just weird to see vinyl and vinyl blind box figures so popular now, as I remember those when they were still underground

    New Disney Muppets Figures Revealed

    Whoah, does every Muppet figure that comes out have to compare to Palisades? I always believed smaller Muppet figures, in the 1978 Fisher Price/2003 Jack in the Box kids meal/2003-2004 Palisades Mini Muppets scale would be the best way to go in order to release the most amount of figures. to...

    Any big Murray fans?

    Murray merchandise would be amazing. Sadly I dont know if SW has any actual plans with him. Though maybe he will be like Pepe...a breakaway star, who unlike Elmo, naturally and organically rises up on his own and from fans. I think the writers must *know* how much better the Murray...

    Any big Murray fans?

    You just articulated much better than I could all the top reasons I love Murray Monster. Someone should start a fansite, or letter writing to Sesame Workshop to demand more Murray! I know Elmo is their never ending cashcow, but Im telling you guys...Murray Monster has the shutzpuh! The moxy...

    How is Jerry Nelson doing?

    Ooh, I like that answer! Skred not only stood out as one of the strangest of all the Muppets, but also one who seemed gentle and touching at times. I always wished he would make a random cameo someday, as much as Im sure the original puppet deteriorated ages ago. Also I'll never forget how...

    Any big Murray fans?

    I have to say, Murray Monster to me has to be the coolest Sesame Street character I've seen since I first saw Telly back in the 80's. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Murray_Monster I absolutely love this guy, none of the least is the fact he's an Egyptian muppet fused with the voice and...

    Toys R Us to buy FAO (and the Whatnot Workshop)

    That was cool seeing most the Muppet waves at TRU. Tho to me nothing beats the "brick and mortar" stores. I LOVED Things From Another World when it was in San Francisco. I like how my local comic shops here in Sacramento still get all sorts of obscure new toys. Its just...I wonder where...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Oh man, I LOVED the "Whatnot/FAO Swartz" skits, especially with Kermit and Pepe going up to random people on the street. And hey, was that Denise from France's Muppet TV Pepe was chasing after? This is amazing...there's a TON of new skits Ive missed since last going to Muppets.com I just...

    Palisades prototypes

    Im still wondering HOW close Palisades was to factory production? Did any get made, or are the one and two shot prototypes about it? At least Grover came out officially I recently aquired an amazing Japanese import posable 6" Cookie Monster action figure from 1980 done by the same...

    Toys R Us to buy FAO (and the Whatnot Workshop)

    Bro, I was JUST at the mega super massive Walmart near me... TINY little toy section. Like Im talking local grocery store/Rite Aid small. All they had was just the usual: star wars(which I am now officially sick of), transformers and wrestling pretty much. Maybe a few power rangers and *insert...

    Best Muppet Merch Places In Southern California/LA

    Hey! I just got back from being in the Los Angeles/Southern California area for a week. Sadly, I didnt see too much Muppet merchandise at places. I would say the BEST places for new Muppet merch/exclusives: The Disney Fountain store across from Kodak Theater/Hollywood Walk of Fame, right...

    Classic Henson Properties Now Available for Merchandise Licensing Opportunities

    I WISH kids these days could be exposed to Fraggle Rock in some way. Even growing up in the 80's it was hard for me to see Fraggle Rock due to it being on HBO

    Classic Henson Properties Now Available for Merchandise Licensing Opportunities

    Anyone remember the epic year of 2003 as far as Fraggle merchandise at stores? Man I remember so much Fraggly goodness back then. I remember the HUGE obsession people had with Farscape, way bigger hardcore fanbase for Farscape than the Muppets I hate to say. Is that still around? I dont...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Man, Im so sorry. That's horrible of Disney to be so ethno/geocentric and lock out non Americans. Thats almost like China's censoring of the web. But...I hate to say this...but Muppets.com has horrible navigation, and acts so buggy sometimes. It's almost impossible to know when there's new...

    Seriously Disney, What The Heck?

    I have noticed clothes are pretty cheap depending where you go. I dont buy abercrombie or any of that stuff; so I end up finding a button shirt or something for a few bucks. Was it made by children in forced labor in Equador? Who knows. Was my $300 club boots made from the skin of cattle? I try...

    Seriously Disney, What The Heck?

    As Frogboy points out, and as I admit, its a vicious cycle. The fact everything from the "patriotic American flags" to clothes people wear at Walmart are made in conditions in Vietnam, El Salvador, China and Indonesia that you and I wouldnt step foot in...the prices are affordable for the...

    Seriously Disney, What The Heck?

    Shoot, I was able to sneak into both California Adventure and Disneyland a couple summers ago. I didnt notice any sort of Orwellian post 9/11 cameras in the bathroom sort of apparatus. The biggest safety issue I'd imagine is fights breaking out. I cant see security costs figuring too much into...
