    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    This is exactly why I don't get the arguments against Happy Time Murders being about adult puppet humor ruining childhoods. Maybe it's because it was the Henson Company? What's crazy to me is that Ave Q "ruins our childhood" much more than Happy Time Murders. It had puppet sex, fowl...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I always thought this is what Muppet's Tonight lacked. All of the stage segments seemed rushed, with the exception of Tales From the Vet which sometimes went too long. It felt like the actual show part of the show was an after thought.

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    I saw the movie and thought it was alright, though woefully lacked background. I expected there to be a lot more focus on the origin of the Happy Time Gang. Brian said in an interview that something like 20 or 30 minutes were cut, most of which was story. I could definitely tell that the...

    Sesame Street Season 49 News and Rumors

    At the end of the day, 50 is just an arbitrary number that we put importance into. 48 years is still a huge achievement and I am glad he was able to help pick and train his replacements over a long period of time. His characters are in good hands. Honestly, I can hardly tell when Erick is...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    And here we have the finished product next to the Jim Henson figure from Palisades and the Rainbow Connection Robin and Kermit. Of course Fozzie's scale is smaller as he is meant to work with the mini muppet line. The figure represents Fozzie bombing on stage and is in scale with the Diamond...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Thank you for the kind words. Right now the only thing that would make me feel any better is a job. On a lighter note, ive got a picture of the brick wall for fozzies stand. Ive got what would be considered a test shot that has been glued together, waiting for it to dry before i can take a...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Well, it's certainly been awhile. I don't know where to begin, so I will start with why I've been gone about 4 years. 4 years ago I ended up having to take a job that required about 5 hours or more per day of travel via mass transit. I worked 10 hours per day and my days off were split with...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I think it depends. The figs worked as a joke in MMW, but I don't think they would work as characters on their own like in MCC.

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    According to a Forbes article I read Disney was looking to make around $150 million world wide. As of right now it's near $60 million. Hopefully, with the world wide release starting later and the film being aimed more towards a world wide audience money will still be coming in for the next few...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    I didn't think of that before, but I can totally see parents shying away for that reason. It's too bad too because he is perfect for the role. The only other person I can imagine playing the part is a young Tim Curry. Plus in interviews Ricky is just beaming over working with the muppets...

    Help me display my collection!!!!

    I recommend a mirrored back ground and plastic risers for height variance.

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Well as I said in my earlier post, the point was the show is terrible without Kermit because the muppets will do any old number that pops into their head. The whole point of the sequence is that the show runs wild without Kermit there to guide it and that even though Constantine is giving them...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I do think Jason should have done a small cameo at the start, if for no other reason than because the movie starts off right where the last one left off. I get him not having a main part in the movie, but not doing a short cameo was odd to me. It doesn't effect my view of the movie at all, just...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I finally got to see the movie and I must say I liked it very much, more so than the last film. The last film played heavily on Amy and Jason with some good muppet moments, but mostly it was a Jason Segel movie featuring the muppets. That isn't to say I dont still like that movie. I do and at...

    The newest addition to my Shapeways shop, this is a Kermit Pendant meant for a necklace. This particular one is printed in polished gold steel, but you can get it in a variety of materials. It's double sided as well, same detail on both sides. It is currently available for anyone who would like...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Mulch is one I never thought of but now I really want to do that. He is both a classic and modern character which is nice. Not sure on the height. Will have to look at MT episodes. As for progress.....yes and no. Yes because I finally got the 3d printed joints back and I believe they will work...

    Opinion: Should a Floyd Bust be right or left handed?

    The debate over a left or right handed Muppets started way back during series 2 of the Muppet action figure line from Palisades. All the poser pictures show Floyd as right handed as does the action figure and the canceled mini figure. The puppet, however, is left handed. So, which is correct...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    My favorite all time Foo-Foo moment was with piggy in the ring leader outfit and Rowlf playing piano and cracking jokes. Best Foo-Foo moment ever and one of the best interactions of Jim and Frank's characters. I really wish I could quit my job and just spend all my time making figures. As it...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Sal has not yet begun. My job is such that I have had no time off since last Sunday, when I last made progress on fozzie. Sal will be a slow process, being a full figure. Plus I may be going through a bit of career change which will sadly take more free time away. However, I will make sure...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    From the looks of the clip with the opening song it looks like this will be another meta movie. Seems the muppets will think the plot is about them going on a world tour and the whole Constantine thing will be "real". I like that idea. The song is not as grand as I thought it would be. I was...
