    NECA announces The Dark Crystal Figure!

    FINALLY. For years all weve seen is expensive as heck resin busts, resin mini statues, etc. Its like, why? And finally, here we go...Skeksis. Sometimes good things take patience. I just wish that like Tron, NECA could rerelease these 1982 Dark Crystal action figures...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    They must be super top secret, given the Area 51 like blackout on every Toy Fair 2008 coverage online(figures.com, cooltoyreview, action-figure.com, comingsoon.net, etc) Hopefully super top secret means super awesome *squints* I think I saw Ned Shimmelfinny and Cantus!

    matleo's annual toy fair trip

    Why do you think Mindstyle asked that sites not take pictures or show the Fraggle figurines? This site took pictures of every square inch of every display at the convention, including every inch of the Mindstyle and Dark Horse display cases(...

    matleo's annual toy fair trip

    Oh theyre extremely talented at Mindstyle... but I cant help but wonder..when I look at the Mystic resin sculpt...wouldnt it make more financial sense to release that as a plastic figure? You sell it for $12 at stores everywhere, more people can get and appreciate this fine craftsmanship and...

    matleo's annual toy fair trip

    Well I understand some companies like to keep wraps on industry eyes only prototype previews, at least for a week or two until they officially release pictures. But there's many toy sites exhaustively covering every square inch of the toy fair with pictures, and not one Fraggle Rock figurine...

    matleo's annual toy fair trip

    There appears to be a blackout/censoring of any Fraggle Rock photos from any online Toy Fair 2008 coverage, odd. Anyways, sorry to hear these wont be posable:(

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    They must have been in a secret area or something, because besides the giant Doozer, theres not one fraggle figure on display anywhere in any of the online toy coverage of Toy Fair 2008 Heres all that appears to have been at the Mindstyle booth...

    Are these PVCs?

    Aw crap, I thought these would be similar to the Muppet Mini pvc Electric Mayhem line that got cancelled...Im guessing this is the more rock hard stuff used to make those statues and busts usually seen in display cases? I still might just actually get this, if anything for Dr Teeth. Btw...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    The full line up of Fraggle figures Im guessing wont be shown til Tuesday or Wednesday at Toy Fare, but soon we'll get a good look at em. Im still confused tho... Each figure will measure about 3 to 4 inches tall and will come with a special building block. That's what the official...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    I'm guessing thats a 300% scale prototype, or a oneshot. Because if the figures are to be that sized(what, 8"?) they'll be about $40 each knowing the vinyl market. Tho MuppetNewsflash reported 3-4", so if they can keep that level of detail as we see in the Doozer upshot, that is beyond...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Well Jim Henson Hour's Muppet Television first half is my favorite Muppet series of all time, so I think you may be on to something. Its so cool that for longtime Muppet fans like us, there's something new that can manage to pierce through our cynical veil and get us excited again:)

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Im absolutely loving the elevator clips. Id love to see what new locations they come up with. So far my favorite is the Elevator w/ Beaker, Chef and Animal; Break Room with Kermit, Gonzo and Fozzie; and the Fozzie/Kermit/Penguin elevator. So random:) Not including the French Muppet Show...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    Ooh yes! Do you know what season this is in? I'd love to see that and get a screengrab of it. This is the only known Dark Crystal crossover I believe...actually not including the Jim Henson Hour or Muppets@WDW(dog pound scene) the only time you see Creature Shop characters with Muppets.

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    Totally. It should be no accessories or something that builds to something actually cool. Btw, you know what Jerry Nelson said in Muppet Central chat a decade ago? He said that Fizzgig from Dark Crystal was actually used in an episode of Fraggle Rock as a background character.

    Anyone Seen Those Sesame Movie Like Commercials?

    I usually hate defense companies, but it was the RAND corporation trying to help Sesame with this...what it looks like ended up happening is that they made a localized Afghan language series of segments with Grover that was to be put on vhs and shown at various schools. The problem is, the...

    The Power of the Dark Crystal - Time Has Come

    Um, is the "fantasy film" invisible gates closing all the sudden? While the Terebitha/Golden Compass/Lord of the Rings/Zathura/ Spiderwick/Dark Is Rising/Harry Potter/Pan's Labyrinth/Mirrormask/Beowulf released proved audiences are hungry for fantasy much as they were in the 80's(DC...

    What Labyrinth and Dark Crystal merchandise do you want?

    How about *actual* Dark Crystal *action* figures with reasonable price points? I've been saying this for ten years on here. Yet to this day not ONE Dark Crystal figure has been made. Resin statues, dolls, etc. sure. I know I would pay a TON to get my hands on these Dark Crystal action...

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    I understand, I'm just saying that regardless if it's destined to be a classic...the possibility of a Fraggle Rock film becoming a reality. Given it doesnt have Disney presiding over it, or a Sesame Street air of having to be pure early child development focused, I believe much care and...

    Muppet Mockumentary Pilot Filmed

    It's great seeing a Hollywood insider give his take on the Muppets...just to me an odd choice to use Telly as a moniker, heh(Telly is my alltime favorite Sesame character, whose extreme naivity and Wembleyness is his charm) Btw, has Jim Hill had any Muppet rumblings to report at all? He's...
