It's not often you can say someone looks ill because they aren't green enough....

I've used foamcore in a number of puppets and found it worked really well. I haven't tried the corrugated plastic (but I will!). I didn't have any trouble working with the foamcore and it has held up, but my puppets haven't had to put up with too much stress. Give it a try, Ryan, and see...

Not only can you get a pattern for a man's long coat at a fabric store, you can get a pattern for a lab coat. Look in Butterick, Simplicity, or McCalls pattern books. They have sections for uniforms that generally include lab coats as well as sections for men's clothing. If you can find an...

If my three year old sees these figures, she's going to want them. And believe me, she will notice the accessories in the package and she will be extremely disapointed if she can't have them. I don't think the likenesses have to be cartoonish to appeal to kids, after all, kids are the vast...

Some friends just named their daughter Delphine London (first and middle name). I was glad I heard about that in email so I had some time to come up with a nice comment. My mother had a student who was legally named Bugger. I went to high school with a girl named Shennan Doaha (like that...

Uncle Deadly is going to be such a fabulous figure! It will be interesting because we so rarely see all of him....

Don't know about the price on albino Kermit. I did see Muppet dominoes at Waldenbooks the other night (I think they're owned by the same company as Barnes and Noble-- or maybe it was B Dalton-- I can't really tell them apart). They also had Muppet Monopoly, Chess, Uno, and that ridiculous...

Sesame Workshop out-sourced the magazine to Parenting because it was too expensive to produce. Most people only subscribe to it for a couple years so they had to constantly work for new subscriptions and that's expensive and time consuming. SW still has a lot of editorial control, but you can...

I don't know about you, but it's definitely what's happening to me. Of course I have two and you only have one, so maybe the effect is milder for you.

I'd try to find photos that show the Muppets in different parts of the world-- try to convey the extent of their impact on the world and not just their images. You could get a shot from SST in China, pictures-- or just the titles-- of the SSTco-productions around the world (include Kami from...

Be sure to let us know when you get the other stuff up-- I'd love to see some longer segments!

Slightly annoyed Bert sounds right to me-- I want plain old ordinary everyday Bert. Quinn-- you realize you age faster once you have kids, right? 30 with a child is a good three years older than 30 without a kid. Of course there are advantages to having kids-- think of all the Muppety...

That's so cool! It's about time our favorite super hero got into the parade. (Be warned-- the Barney balloon will be on your screen a long time before you get to the virtual Super Grover balloon-- ugh)

Quinn's right. I didn't care for Elmo for a long time. He's annoying and he gets tons of air time. I wanted to see Grover or Snuffy when I turned on Sesame Street, characters I grew up with, and not all these new guys like Elmo, Baby Bear, and Telly (what can I say-- I'm old). Then...

No PVCs or beans. The Muppet stuff was on a table with other games, not its own display yet. The tin was a bright red (more orange red than purple red). It wasn't a particularly special tin-- the windows for a few of the chess pieces mean it couldn't be a stand-alone tin, only the box for...

I was at Barnes and Noble today and saw the chess set in the tin. I'm kind of disappointed because I'd prefer the tin to the board game boxed-chess set I bought a few years back. Hopefully it's true that the older one has a nicer board (that would make up for the tin for me). I also saw a...

There are plenty of times when we've seen Oscar's feet beneath the can. Asking whether Oscar will be sculpted in can seems quite reasonable to me. It will matter a LOT to some of us collectors. When MuppetFest was being planned, we knew there were Creation spies keeping track of our...

Yep-- opinions are welcome here. If we all agreed on everything it would be a pretty pointless forum. The guy asked for our feedback. Some people are excited by the figures and some aren't-- that's cool and that's feedback. Personally, I think they're right to try and find an...

I think this line has a great deal of potential. We've seen fairly small pictures of some very early prototypes, so it's too early for me to judge the likenesses or where they are going with the sort of retro look. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and see where they go with...

Apparently the author doesn't know much about Muppets-- notice the Mention of Miss Piggy at the end?
