    Labyrinth Interactive Viewing

    Yes, definitely worth it. I am still stoked by that trip eight days later. Even though I was upset at not being able to take photos or video, I have found images of most of what I saw online. I also downloaded the complete podcast from the Smithsonian website and I'm looking at the videos...

    Labyrinth Interactive Viewing

    Thank You, Heather Henson! I didn't find out about this until the next morning, or I would have loved to have attended it. She'd also done a lecture on her father's legacy the night before. AND, the next day, Saturday, she did a Rocky-Horror-esque sing-along viewing of the Muppet Movie at...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    I generally hate bumping my own threads, but I was still wondering if anybody has access to Muppet Magazines they can scan? I've been working on some custom Muppet commissions, so not a lot to report at the moment, but hopefully soon. Dearth

    Help Identifying a Muppet

    Um... no... He was asking about the upper RIGHT Muppet in the *photo* of all the Muppets surrounding Jim on that page. Gonzo/Dearth Nadir is one of the buttons, second from the LEFT on the page itself. You have to roll over him with the mouse for the Swinetrek door to open. You do get...

    Question about "Hope That Something Better Comes Along" song

    I think as a kid he definitely was, but unlike me, he doesn't have any record of his memories. No audio, no VHS, no DVD's. And we've all been guilty of creatively remembering something. I'll try to dig up It Was a Very Good Year and see if that's what he was confusing with HTSBCA. The funny...

    If new Muppet action figures were made, which characters would you like to see?

    Part of me wishes new figures would be made, but part of me would honestly get depressed... I've begun customizing Muppet figures again mainly because it was 'safe' since the company was defunct. I got burned too many times on Star Wars customising because Hasbro would eventually bring out the...

    Question about "Hope That Something Better Comes Along" song

    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...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Need Swinetrek reference images! Hey folks, Can anyone here help me out? Long ago, in Muppet Magazine, there was a piece of artwork depicting the Swinetrek with its landing gear down, on the surface of an alien planet. I'm working on some Swinetrek and Koozebane dioramas at the moment, and...

    Muppet Designs and Doodles hardback

    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...

    Question about Muppet Treasure Island DVD...

    Hi all, I own the 2002 DVD of MTI, but it's full-screen and I prefer widescreen presentations. Was the 50th anniversary edition, which came out I think last year, done as widescreen? Or did it have any new bonus feature content that the previous release lacked? Thanks! DN

    Custom figures and dioramas

    My wife liked the pic of Kermit and the Scouts, but said they needed to be in front of trees. Since they were photographed against blue, wasn't too hard to accomodate that request...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Well, Rowlf is standing there in the movie (he happily vacates the piano when the EM arrive at the Hotel's bandstand), so I thought it apt to include him in the photo. I have never customized any Pee-Wee figures. I only own a Conky (because I love robots) but a girl I dated in college had...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    I finally made a scene to show off my Lips figure: http://threads.rebelscum.com/imagepopup.php?imagename=http:%2F%2Fthreads.rebelscum.com%2Fphotogallery%2Fwatermark.php?file=137157&imagewidth=943&imageheight=394 The re-created wall behind them slides in behind Animal on the Palisades...

    Official Bohemian Rhapsody MP3 now available

    My 7-year-old says... Here's how much my kids have been exposed to the Muppets... my 7-year-old can identify pretty much every character from the Muppet Show at a glance, and my 10-year-old who so far has seemed to escape my own completist tendencies took one look at an episode of Fraggle Rock...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Was watching the Harry Belafonte episode the other day, and noticed that the straw hat which Fozzie wears as the 'Tally Bear' is almost identical to the one that Palisades included with Vacation Fozzie. I didn't want to build a full diorama for one marginally customized figure, so I doctored...

    New Video: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

    I compared this with the list I compiled, and the only thing you seem to have left out are the five penguins. Otherwise, our lists are almost identical. I've added them at the end of your list, in bold. Dearth

    New Video: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

    Well, it took me a few days to watch this video, but I've probably made up for it by watching it a couple dozen times in just three days. For those who dislike the slower pace on the Gonzo/chickens part and the Animal "Mama" scene (which was a brilliant solution, in my opinion, to the...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    I recently bought some Muppet stuff on clearance from ToyRocket.com, including some Uncle Deadly's for $2.50 each. I didn't really need the Deadly's, but I did want some more Muppet Ghosts...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    If you look at the pic of the unpainted Kerzie, you can see a 'bib' of fur on the front of the chest. That's because when you remove the bow of a production Fozzie's tie, you get a big rectangular hole in the sternum...
