    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    I see a gluttony of Abby, Elmo and Zoe merchandise actually. Tho I *could* see how a Fraggle could be customed to look like Nigel from the Muppet Show. I am very much hoping these figures have articulation, absolutely no reason why they cant have it. The "Dark Crystal toys" are not figures...

    Muppet Mockumentary Pilot Filmed

    So I take it America's Next Muppet, the "Muppet mini movie interstitials" and the Mockumentary series will go the way of other famous Muppet productions: in the vault, only to be whispered to be out in tape trading circles years later. Lovely. My wish has always been for someone on the...

    Muppet Vision 3-D

    I *finally* got to see MuppetVision 3D(not counting bad quality bootlegs on youtube) at California Adventure back in August, and it was amazing. Funny how at 29 I could be transported back to being 10 years old again, heh. I love the walk in to the area, the backroom stage, and the whole...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    They'll be a huge item for certain collectors, but yeah.. more than the blind box plan, the connecting letters thing IS pointless. Thats Sesame Street. Why NOT each figure comes with a part to make a BIG Gorg figure OR part of a playset? surely MindStyle thought of this, no...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    Ive become the master of blind boxed Japanese figures, very rarely do I not get the figure I want. But yeah, I do wish they were blister packed. Still, this is absolutely amazing. We're not talking Kubrick block figures, we're talking vinyl Fraggle action figures in a collectable Japanese...

    Sesame Podcasts

    So are any of these episodes archived? I was only able to download the first one they did. Also, Murray monster is one of the best new Muppets since Mo Frackle, that Larry the Possum guy from From the Balcony/Puppet Up, Joe the Armadillo, and Waffle the cowmonkey.

    Anyone Seen Those Sesame Movie Like Commercials?

    Btw, Im confused...is Between the Lions Sesame Workshop or JHC related, ala that Australian animal show or Stinky and Jake? As Between the Lions puppets and Sesame characters intermix on commercials and the BTL show. Strange. Is it like the Flat Eric property, where JHC is affiliated but...

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    In my view, any Fraggle movie is a good movie...to me it sounds too good to be true, but it shall definately be glorious if this pans out.

    K B Toys Erupts With Fraggle Merch

    http://locator.mykbtoysstore.com/StoreLocator.htm See if there's one around you. It now appears that most KB Toys for one reason or another have a bunch of Fraggle stuff all the sudden. They have large Fraggle plushes that come with dvd episodes of the show/animated cartoon for 7 bucks...

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    Well we're standing at the cusp of something interesting... We now have a push before Four Muppet canon/universes/properties/etc, all with hope: The Muppet Show: While Muppets.com relaunch, the upcoming comics, etc is enough to wet the whistle of diehards, all indications are that by this...

    Popularity of Fraggle Rock

    Yeah it's tragic how the Washington DC politicians have been trying to kill off PBS. Yes, but question is: Is FR being shown on regular tv or basic cable in the US?

    Popularity of Fraggle Rock

    Aw! I didnt know that *cues the more you know psa music* Well in a way, it made Fraggle Rock more elusive and special to me...because while Sesame Street and the Muppet Show syndication were on tv almost every day during the 1980's when I was growing up, Fraggle Rock seemed all that much more...

    Anyone Seen Those Sesame Movie Like Commercials?

    I was flipping through PBS in the morning recently, and I saw two commercials with Sesame characters that had a very theatrical film like look to them. One had Super Grover in it, and it looked like a spoof for a Sesame movie or something. It mentioned PBSForKids at the end The other was...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    Anyone else realize that they started releasing really cool Muppet vinyl figures...like, exactly 50 years ago? http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Wilkins_Coffee_vinyl_puppets It's amazing that Muppet figures have been around for 5 decades(I wish they'd reissue those Wiltkins and Wonkins ones)

    Popularity of Fraggle Rock

    I feel the Jim Henson Company messed up BIG time by having Fraggle Rock not only on cable during the 80's...but a premium channel on top of that: ensuring that only kids of affluent areas could watch it. I've been a rabid hardcore Henson fan since I was practically born, and while...

    MINDstyle to make 25th Ann. Fraggle figures!

    I think there's only been three instances where you really get a feel for the scale of Fraggles compared to Muppets and Sesame characters: Muppet Family Christmas, Muppets Remember Jim Henson and Uncle Matt in Muppets Take Manhattan...so I definately remember them being about the same size as...
