I just turned 31, going on 10 and I too am not pleased with the direction Transformers has turned. I HAAAAATE the look/feel of "transformers animated", the "transformers" movies look nothing resembling transformers(tho I kinda dig Bumblebee) Heck I remember when Transformers toys had actual...

That stinks! As every Target, Walmart and Best Buy in my area carries every single Muppet, Fraggle Rock, and Bear dvd(as well as all the Sesame dvds) Only ones I don't see out for sale anymore is Muppets with Ed Sullivan(unauthorized) and Muppet Family Christmas. But both the individual...

Thats why it was funny seeing at Kaybee Toys in their final leg of existence all the Hasbro Indiana Jones figures going for like a buck fifty, and all wrestling figures going for merely pennies. But Dr Tooth, you bring up something incredibly valid. WHY do companies charge so much with...

Anyone notice how high prices for figures are? $10+ for the 1988/1989 TMNT action figure reissues at Target. Thats the kind of crazy markup I'd expect at mall stores. Most figures today are $10-$12 each, even higher. Who can afford to oblige to their crying kid's every whim? I...

Yep. Number of Muppet related items at any given Disney store? ZERO. 2003 was pretty much the grand year for all four(Muppet Show, Bear, Sesame, Fraggle) JHC related franchises merchandise wise. Now? Complete tumbleweeds. As I said on Muppet Central over ten years ago, Muppets are...

So is that pretty much it?

Yeah, sadly nothing JH or Muppety related this year(for the first time in ages) http://toyfair09.figures.com/showgallery.php?cat=519

Amazing work! Will this be the issue 2 variant? Seeing this, I can totally envision execs pushing for an animated prime time Muppet Show on tv.

It all takes me back to 2003, when Fraggle Rock stuff could be found all over. I remember getting some really great Doozer figures at Hot Topic, plushes, etc. Some stores at that time I would actually find cool stuff from all four franchises: Muppet Show, Sesame Street(collector's stuff not the...

Well I know that the plan was for all Muppet related franchises (Muppet Show, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock) to be kept in the Palisades scale. When another company had the licence for the Sesame figures, before Palisades got the license, they were going to release them in that scale. It's...

Since 2002, Muppet/Jim Henson fans online have always anticipated Toy Fair in New York. Like what beamed in photos from Mars rovers are to NASA and astronomy enthusists, pictures and news from Toy Fair is always exciting to Muppet/JH fans. Whether you prefer Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Creature...

Yeah those Mcfarlane Simpsons figures...Im not too big on them. Of course, my FAVORITE Simpsons like was the 1990 Kenner line. Yeah, Im odd. There's this local store near me called Toy Fusion, that is almost entirely 70's, 80's and 90's toys(with rare/import modern figures as well) And...

This movie is coming out in 2010, and will be a film version of Puppet Up in the guise of a "noir" film. http://www.muppetnewsflash.com/2009/02/could-hensons-happytime-murders-lead-to.html Many of the Puppet Up characters come from various Muppet properties from Animal Jam, Muppet Show...

Obama actually seems like the first President in ages that seems to have the kind of silly, warm, good hearted demeanor that would mesh with the Sesame gang in quite some time. I could more than see this.

Yeah but sadly Warner Bros/DC's main tentpole this year(Watchmen) is being threatened by Fox(who is releasing Marvel's Xmen Orgins Wolverine this summer) Personally, I've always always found DC's stories a thousand times more captivating than Marvel's(I mean, late 80's thru 90's Batman for...

Do people still buy comics? I mean I know comic book based films are now the TOP grossing movies of any given year, grossing billions domestically and worldwide...but it just seems like *actual* comic readers seem pretty underground. I'm a regular at my local comic shops, but I really can't...

I've been seeing those at Suncoast, FYE and some other stores. Pretty snazzy. It's too bad that Mirage felt the need to completely alter the original 1984-1985 art when they rereleased the original issues, but it's cool seeing figures based on the original style. (I remember the first TMNT...

Too true. I hear Imagi Studios was even puzzled as to why Playmates continued to use their studio's TMNT movie art for the current line of figures. TMNT has basically been vanquished from the toy shelves of all major retailer outlets, including Target and Walmart. KayBee is now completely...

I'm noticing a HUGE influence by designer/hong kong urban vinyl/kid robot style figures with mainstream kids toys(like the new Batman animated series figures, or the big muggs like Star Wars and Marvel figures(
