Hi-ho all! "Dearth" here, reporting live from Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando, Florida. Yesterday I sat in on the Disney Park merchandising panel... More Muppet-as-Star-Wars toys are coming, and this time they're action figures! The original vinyl set will no longer be produced, so if you...

Wound up with some extras when I was trying to replace what the movers lost 35 years ago! I can't get the link to work, but it's item #160463782960 Dearth

I recently bought a replacement toy off eBay for a long-lost childhood favorite: The Count's Colorforms Castle. I love the vinyl pieces of all the familiar SST characters...

Was there a segment about the Dark Crystal on the tv show "Standby Lights Camera Action", hosted by Leonard Nimoy? I have this memory of a specific behind-the-scenes clip showing Frank Oz explaining the cantilevered system inside the Skeksis which would allow the weight of the puppeteer's arm...

Hi, I bought a set of Muppet Babies Happy Meal toys and they were promptly commandeered by my wife. Her birthday is coming up, and I was hoping to surprise her with a little diorama so she can display them better. Does anyone have the Muppet Babies Colorforms set? I'd love to get a good...

So I hauled out my two Sesame Street playsets from the 70's just now, and I was surprised at just how complete I'd managed to keep them. In fact, the only pieces I ever lost were when my parents moved to a new house around 1976: Cookie Monster and Grover. (I also lost a Child Guidance Grover...

Hey all, Thanks to fellow MuppetCentral poster Greenlantern999, I recently purchased a Backstage which was in better condition than my own. One of the things I was happiest about was that the new one had never had its labels applied. I am trying to come up with a system (possibly using...

I don't think I ever knew this one existed, and yet somehow when I look at the pics on Muppet Wiki, it seems SO familiar. Would love to get one of these which has been unshrunk so I can scan the full-sized artwork. But a pre-shrunk one would be cool, too. Dearth

I had this as a kid, and would love to get one for nostalgia's sake. Saw some pics the other day on the Muppet Wiki and it was a real blast from the past. Dearth

Hi, Have you ever discovered that one of your Palisades Muppet Show figures had tumbled off the shelf and broken off something vital? Did you replace him with a brand-new mint version, but find yourself holding onto the broken one just because you assume no one will want it? Well, I'm a guy...

I was watching the Beverly Sills episode earlier tonight, and got curious about the 'Fuzz Brothers', namely who played them. I poked around online and found very little info about the characters, but what info I did find, I disagree with. On the Muppet wiki, it says that the performers are...

Hard to believe, but true. But, hey, I would feel a little depressed on the day that I realized I had seen everything Jim Henson had ever done, so let's celebrate the fact that there are still treasures out there to be discovered. So, here's some thoughts... at the beginning of the movie, the...

Okay, since childhood, I have had this repeated theme in my dreams, of meeting celebrities and trying to get their autographs, but not being able to. The earliest one, around 1982, was of me bumping into Harrison Ford on an elevator. He was dressed as Indiana Jones and when I asked him...

Hi ho, I was browsing Muppet websites online yesterday and came across a reference to two 'Easter eggs' on the DVD of It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. It didn't give specific directions on how to find them, but they weren't too hard to locate once I was looking. These are...

Hi all, I was hoping to get some expert advice about the Muppet Show Preview Comic. I live in a town where the only place to get comics is Books-A-Million, and that's pretty hit-and-miss. (For instance, I checked every couple of days looking for Muppet Show #4 Family Reunion, and they still...

Hello all, A few years back, I picked up this Ernie toy at a flea market... http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepopup.php?imagename=http:%2F%2Fthreads.rebelscum.com%2Fphotogallery%2Fwatermark.php?file=152575&imagewidth=588&imageheight=594 ... but I have no idea what company made him, what...

Hey, is it just me, or do these security panels from the Mallory Gallery not look a lot like recycled Death Star control panels? http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepopup.php?imagename=http:%2F%2Fthreads.rebelscum.com%2Fphotogallery%2Fwatermark.php?file=149866&imagewidth=853&imageheight=480...

I have just recently begun collecting these. The day after my Jareth arrived, I found this wicked-looking branch in the parking lot of my son's school and thought it looked like a perfect miniature tree to pose behind him...

Hi all, I have a CD with Kermit and Rowlf singing a wonderful multi-tracked-Jim duet of the song, "I Hope That Something Better Comes Along" from the Muppet Movie... but a friend of mine believes he heard a different version of the song once, sung instead by Statler and Waldorf. I can't...

I had never seen this book before, but it popped up in an eBay search and sounded interesting, so I placed a low bid and won it for a grand total of $12.50 shipped... To my surprise and delight, when it arrived, it was not only autographed by the author, Alison Inches, but also by Dave Goelz...
