Jim Henson Idea Man

Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
That pic is certainly a good sign. I can't imagine they would put a picture on their site that just happened to have the three characters they've released so far + Fozzie if there were no hope! This is the first thing I've seen in the past year that has me optimistic!
Trav. It's great to hear from you again. On a personal level, what and how are you doing now?
I can only speak for myself, but I always understood that the marketing budget for this project had to be next to nothing and my biggest frustration was that free marketing opportunities were never...
Ernie–
You stated a while back that you thought MR may be selling the license to someone else. Care to elaborate now that it didn't happen? What do you think the chances would be of this unnamed company obtaining the license if MR were to fold?
I'm certainly not holding my breath – I would've...
I voted for the "money is no object" category. I'll try to hold off on my complete pessimism though.
Once again, I have to bring up the point that had the first three been marketed correctly (or at all), we wouldn't be having this problem with Fozzie. The idea that they still have those awful...
HE LIVES!
Dude! Go back with your tail between your legs back to the previous plant. At this point, I don't speak for everyone, but I'd certainly pay some extra $ to get the bear!
Then take the next six to twelve months looking for a new factory.
(I kid, of course – sorta!)
I agree that Pepe and Rizzo may actually be MORE difficult than Fozzie. I would lean towards Pepe (but would buy any of the three depending on price).
If they do break into the full-size replicas of the Mayhem, I'd like to see Zoot first. He seems like a fan fave and would be one of the...
hmmmm. I wasn't making a comparison so I'm not sure you read my post right. I was just saying that I missed the days when a Muppet product was rolling out at a (fairly) consistent state. When you always had something to look forward to and the question wasn't "if" but "when."
I wasn't...
Man, how bad does it stink that we find ourselves in this position time and time again? It would be so nice if these guys were selling like hotcakes and MR were able to keep to their 4 per year plan.
I miss the early days of the Muppet figures when they were coming out with series after series...
Honestly, I'd say there's a very good chance we'll never see him – there are just too many things that could go wrong at this point.
(1) MR, or whatever it's called now, is on shaky ground right now. They could go out of business any day.
(2) If Fozzie gets delayed much more, MR might be out...
Haven't we learned by now that photos from MR are worthless anyway? We all know that any pics we get from MR will more than likely stink and that the final product will be brilliant.
I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much for pre-orders. The SS figs were up for pre-order for months and...
Thanks for posting that AD. I'm trying to be optimistic, but it doesn't look good.
Hopefully, FP are just wanting to clear their stockroom out (remember these are very large items) and want to get as much of a rebate from MR now on the unsold and discounted product just in case MR should get...
It sounds odd to me that the company would sell it's namesake. It sounds like a last-ditch effort to get some quick capital save the company from bankruptcy.
I hope it works out for them but it sounds to me like their days are numbered. It stinks that this is the time they're working with a...
I don't see a reason to be concerned only because the writing's been on the wall for a long time. I still expect that we'll see Fozzie but won't hold my breath for anything more. Whatever else we get will be a bonus.
The silence doesn't concern me because it's nothing new. It frustrates me...
Heh! Not writing you off Terry! Just trying to give people some hope in case you returned the answer that they hadn't contacted you to do Piggy yet. No one could do them better than you my friend. The pics of your first Gonzo proto and the pics of your Fozzie hanging around your house make my...
I hope to be optimistic. I am just really, really disappointed with MR because of what has occurred since Gonzo has been released.
One thought though, what if MR has hired someone else besides Terry to do the Piggy poser? Kermeee here on the boards created a fantastic pig puppet. Hopefully he...
I would hope we'll get Fozzie, but I can't see it going past that. At this point, I'm looking at Piggy as a bonus.
When you figure that they were originally going to put out four per year and are now struggling to get two out per year (and none of the first three have sold out yet), I would...
Good to hear from you again Trav.
Has MR ever approached anyone about making posers of SS characters? I know Henson has always been against it, but I was wondering if they've been approached (or SW) since the Muppet posers have come out.
