Something always struck me as being quite, well "Muppety" regarding a lot of baseball mascots(like the Phillies Phanatics) or the Mcdonaldland puppets used in Mcdonalds commercials in the 1980's. I then stumbled across the work of Bonnie Erickson: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Bonnie_Erickson...

Just curious what some of your favorite and least favorite modern Muppet characters are? I guess I would use Jim Henson Hour to present. So 1989-2010 as "modern", which is fairly modern in the 55 year span of the Muppets. Some examples I guess would be: Digit Leon Big Mean Carl Chef Angelo...

Over the years we've seen everyone from Alice Cooper, Weezer, Elton John and REM work with the Muppets/Sesame/etc gang. I was wondering what are some bands and artists you personally could see appearing on a new Muppet show or working with them? Bands I feel have that irreverent fun spirit...

There can be no doubt to the unbelievable kindness, warmth and heart expressed by Fozzie Bear over the decades; as well as Kermit, Gonzo, etc. However, while modern Sesame Street has a strong female presence(both muppet and human), The Muppet Show and all subsequent incarnations seemed to lack...

Was going to purchase the two Jim Henson Hour specials on dvd from Amazon(Dog City and Song of the Cloud Forest) but noticed Henson Company had released "Pajanimals" on dvd. Is this any good? I've only seen one of the segments. Was wondering if it had any of the magic or charm of say, Bear in...

http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/File:Mural.JPG First time I've seen a sharp image of this, just breathtaking. What Muppet/Henson fan *wouldn't* want this? Everything from Muppets to Sesame to Fraggle Rock to creature shop is represented...even the Mighty Favog! :scary:

I don't believe Disney truly realized just how much parents and young ones alike loved Bear in the Big Blue House. The moment I saw it on cable in 1997 I knew the Jim Henson Company not only had something special, but a rightful successor to Fraggle Rock(as far as a third tentpole...

Was wondering if anyone out there wanted to start a petition to get Disney to release the amazing 1990 special Muppets At Walt Disney World and Muppets Tonight on dvd? I can't think of any reason why Disney wouldn't release either, especially since both were specifically done in concert with...

I was amazed that Lions Gate, out of nowhere, decided to release the two Jim Henson Hour (non creature shop) specials Dog City and Song of the Cloud Forest. Dog City even features Rowlf the Dog on the cover, even though it's a post Disney buyout era. Storyteller of course had previously been...

While I had the opportunity to see Muppet Vision 3d finally(at Disneyland in Anaheim CA a few years ago) many of you don't have the luxury to go to Disneyland or WDW. So out of curiosity, I happened to find the absolute best(filmed in HD) capturing of Muppet Vision 3D and the entire pre show...

Thought maybe it'd be interesting to see the face behind the posts, and a general Traveling Matt curiosity of what the other silly creatures on here look like. Anyways, been on here 12 years(eesh, that sounds like awhile!) and thought it was time to show the kid behind the madness:coy: (Also...

Over the years I've heard people reference that this or that character had such and such happen to them on the Muppet show or in one of the movies. But then I seem to recall a few times when Muppet characters are interviewed on talk shows...well, they seem to make it clear that they are just...

I think I first asked this 12 years ago on here(man Ive been here awhile), but it still amazes me how general Muppet fandom, or just all around fans of the Muppets seems quite underground. I mean, Henson's Farscape seems to have a bigger visible fanbase or at least did. Whereas there are...

Decided to try my hand at some custom outfit paint jobs. First up is "Daft Gonzo", inspired by listening to French techno funk robot band Daft Punk(seen here: http://www.musicnewsculture.com/pix/daft-punk-helmet.jpg ) Sucky camera phone pics unfortunately, but here goes: front...

I was thinking back to the three decades Ive been collecting Muppet stuff(tho sadly, most of it was long ago sold) and as much as I liked the 2002-2004 tsunami of merchandising radness...I also recall the 1994-1997 period, even through 1999...having some seriously cool stuff. Before their was...

Was at Toys R Us, they now have Sid the Science kid plushes and a few other toys, and they have Dinosaur Train figures(non articulated, more like figurines) and train playsets and then the super big figures with bells and whistles. Im guessing they'll be releasing Sid the Science kid figures...

I was at a thrift store today, and right when I was about to leave I noticed nestled amongst all the old vhs was "The World Of Jim Henson", a 90 minute documentary on Jim Henson and the Muppets from 1994 that I had never seen nor even heard of before...

Over the years Ive seen within illustrated books, multiple action figure lines, etc so many varying charts and heights of the Muppets. Is there an official Muppet guideline? This is from 2003 I believe, the back of a Muppet package which from what I can tell has a pretty accurate gauge on...

Was at Wondercon in San Francisco this past weekend. I was overjoyed to see a big ol Boom Kids booth, with all the Muppet comics and a big ol Muppet banner. But then a few booths over...Archaea! And they had a whole Fraggle Rock booth with the entire art/writer team. They were handing out free...

Every year it seemed we were spoiled by all sorts of Muppet and Jim Henson related figures and toys debuting at Toy Fair. Be it the Muppets, Fraggle Rock, Sesame, Dark Crystal, Labyrinth. But as of last year? Nada. Just curious if anything Muppetty was shown this year?
