    regular figures...mega sized...what about minis?

    >>>Arch display stands. Mount on the wall or stackable...that would be cool to me. I imagine a wall full of Muppets, stretching as far as the eye can see...in arches, now THAT might be nifty<< Ken, I have been dreaming of those exact things my entire life(ok, prolly since I was 3) as far...

    is this true?

    dont worry folks...you can rest assured these scripts will never see the light of day...from what ive heard, these make the country bears read like a academy award winning screenplay.

    The Best of the Online Muppet clips

    This thread is for anyone new on here(or those not wanting to look thru every thread), basically links to the best of the recent Muppet video clips. I suspect a few on here might be in need of a good Muppet enthusiasm boost(if youre interest has been waning in recent times) or just wanting to...

    Muppet Channel?

    >>>This issue has been up before. I think we agreed that there just isn't enough material to make an all muppet channel. in this case, there would only be lot's of reruns, and people would stop buying the dvd's and videos<<< um, no I thought the argument is that JHC is struggling for th...

    Entertainment Weekly: Pet Project

    >>>It really is too bad about Greg. I just caught an episode last night and it was actually kind of sweet (in a Simpsons sort of way). There was much potential in that show, but I suspect Fox may have actually nixed it because they got the "real thing" when they signed the Muppets and the team...

    I just broke the top ten!

    >>>Besides, Quinn and I were 2 of the ol' "pioneers" around here. I don't remember seein' any o' you British freaks---er, "foreigners"---around then. LOL<<< shoot, I was on MC when the Lewinski scndal and south park were strong on tv, and Jerry Juhl was still in the JHC fold.

    An ultimate Muppet database

    Well, to be honest...if youre gonna make an ultimate list, youre forgetting a lot of characters...I would say there is well over 1000+ muppet characters. From 1955 to 2002, I would include EVERYTHING except for creature shop and wubbulous world. Missing would be Splurge, Lefty, inidividual...

    Entertainment Weekly: Pet Project

    ALF: Im gonna be honest, after that abismal made for tv movie project alf in 1996, any interest in modern Alf was dessimated for me. My favorite ALF period is 1988, but thats just me. Ok mr. melmac expert luke... you mentioned awhile back they had done a weird Alf talk show pilot. This...

    Country Bears

    >>>Had the movie been a successful, Disney executives were reportedly toying with the idea of using these very same puppets on a Country Bear Jamboree TV show. In its proposed form, the TV spin-off woul debut in the spring of 2003 and be closely modeled on the original Muppet Show<<< *whew*...

    >>>Of course that'll have to be in the Mega line, we can do a two month build up kinda 'who dunnit' angle between Kermit and Gonzo !<<< what can a controversial worms did you open up with this one? I mean what you said is quite controversial and potentially embarassing: do we really need...

    regular figures...mega sized...what about minis?

    >>>Maybe you oughta mention that to Ken !!!! LOL !!!<<< well it stands to reason 1) these would be more feasable and easier to put out than the megas 2) we really dont know what else they have planned...so who knows what toy fare may bring. hey luke, i just realized...for me saying i was...

    regular figures...mega sized...what about minis?

    >>>I don't see why not - just would need to get a re-sculpt done at a smaller scale and without a lot of the articulation<<< Hmm, true. But still it seems itd be quite hard to make those into minis, thats why i was thinking totlaly diferent sculpts. but if it could be done I would be more...

    regular figures...mega sized...what about minis?

    >>>if done incorrectly it could affect sales of the regular and Mega lines, someone with $8 in their pocket might pick up the minis and forget totally about picking up a regular figure<< thats what i would do, heh. then again i have infiinite more affinity for 3-4" line as you know then big...

    regular figures...mega sized...what about minis?

    >>>Well this is why the line probably wouldn't get made. They are a small toy company with limited resources. Downsizing what they already have out there is cheap and easy. Creating a whole new product means making time to design them, new sculpts, approvals for each different costume/extra...

    regular figures...mega sized...what about minis?

    >>>I don't want mini's of the exact same figures I'm getting in another format. What do I need them for? I want figures I WON'T get in the other format, simply because a one shot costume or episode specific version of a second string character wouldn't sell enough. But packed with other...

    regular figures...mega sized...what about minis?

    >>> I think we all must have worked out that the reason there is a Mega line so early is because a lot of the design and sculpt work exists already to make them, it wasn't called for by the fans or anything<<< my goodness, i just had the same thought...all the mega beaker is is a big 2up...

    Mega Muppets: Your Top Choices

    >>>Who says they can't make Muppets of every shape and size? I say make Giant Mega Muppets<<< Because, I think its more wiser to come out with minis first. They perhaps wouldnt have any time or schedule to come out with minis after megas. Lets be honest here...if its a vote, isnt agreed we'd...
