Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
It makes sense to do something different with the character considering there was almost nothing to go off of. Heck, I don't think he had much to say until The Muppets 2015 anyway. Sounds like they borrowed from the character Jowls from Muppets Tonight.
I'm on the fence about it. I just don't know if the EM can carry a series. A special maybe, but a series?
If this was more like The Muppets 2015 where it's the Muppet gang making the album and the EM are the focus I could be on board. Problem with having so many human cast members is that...
The render was already too thin and pointed, but was ok. Looks like they went in the wrong direction when they tweaked it. They are looking a little animated and less puppet like, kind of like series 1 and 2 of the Palisades line where they had texture, but the likeness and proportions were a...
Listing have been found for $300 large scale figures, 16 inches tall. So far there is a listing for The Count and Super Grover. Says they will have fabric clothes. No pictures yet.
I hope this isn't the only offering from Super7.
To me, the bit seemed a little flat. Nothing all that special. I expected it to be more of a recreation of the original, but in live action. Putting them in a classroom setting was odd. Needed less clips if the cartoon and mire muppet recreations if it, but based on the rest if the special...
Super7 figures are hit or miss, but then tend to do non-human figures well. Their Ren and Stimpy line of Ultimates looks just like the old Palisades stuff. If the Sesame Street line is an "Ultimates!" line, then they may scale with Palisades stuff as well and may match up with the same paint...
Based on the "Pass It On" segment, it would seem Gobo is a little bigger than Kermit. Of course, Muppet heights are always cheated. If you consider that Gobo's eyes rest on top of his head, while Kermit's sit on the side, and Gobo has tall hair, the scale seems good enough to me. Certainly...
It's hard to tell exactly what the scale will be, actually. Supposedly, the Fraggles will be 5 inches tall. If the style guide is to be believed, Gobo is 22 inches tall. This seems to align with the height listed for Gobo in the museum of the moving image. If the Gobo figure is 5 inches tall...
The line looks decent, but I do wish they had handled the Doozer's differently. They said they made the Doozers 3 inches tall so they were still figures on their own and shorter than the Fraggles, even though they are a cheated scale. Personally, I would have loved to see 6 inch Doozers...
If you want to wait it out, Super7 figures can go on sale from various comic shops or Amazon. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figures have almost all gone down in price. Shredder is only $25 on Amazon. However, it takes a while and if too many people wait for sales, I doubt the line will...
I doubt Super7 will be working with DST in any way. My hope is the Sesame Street line is for Ultimates and not reaction. If it's an Ultimates line, there is a possibility that they will be palisades level figures (look at Super7's Ren and Stimpy line to see how close they are). If they are...

Shown at SDCC, NECA will be making figures based on Dinosaurs and they look fantastic! Shown at the con are Earl and Baby Sinclair. For those not familiar with NECA, they have also tackled...
Yeah, the box shows a poster, a stand for the poster, a light, and a phonograph. All are re-use other than the phonograph so they aren't a huge lost, but the phonograph would have been a nice addition to my Palisades/DST hybrid display. I have a feeling that the box was designed a long time...
Seems interest is lacking in this line, and it's been a VERY long time since we first saw them solicited, but Sam and Rizzo are finally showing up in stock at online retailers and are shipping. Mine will be here tomorrow.
Some things to note from pictures online:
Almost all accessories are...
I believe Muppets Now was never meant to be a 30 minute show to begin with. It was originally meant to just be the segments individually, posted as if it were a YouTube Channel. They got cobbled together into 30 minute episodes with little to nothing connecting them. Hopefully this new show...
As soon as I saw Lilly Singh was involved, I lost all hope this might be good.
I thought we had learned from "The Muppet" in 2015 that The Muppets need to be an ensemble cast. Doing a show that centers around the Electric Mayhem sounds like an interesting special or movie idea, but an entire...
I wouldn't say they are low quality. They are designed to be retro style figures. They are meant to give a sense of nostalgia. They aren't made for me though. I've never been into that retro style.
