    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Thanks for sharing that one. It just sums up everything I feel and love about the Muppets and Jim's work. It's just how real they are and how they have that connection to real people that you just don't find with other characters, and I love it when people like you can relate specific things and...

    Muppet Film and TV References

    Watched an episode of Robot Chicken earlier tonight and they did a huge sketch at the end of the show about remaking The Dark Crystal to appeal to todays youth and told the story in the form of a gangster rap video. It was incredible and very funny, including the Podling DJ. The at the end the...

    New UK Muppet T-shirts at ASDA

    Hey all. I've been away from the boards for a while, but had to come back to tell of these I was alerted of by a friend yesterday. http://direct.asda.com/george/men-s-clothing/tops/muppets-rocking-printed-t-shirt/GEM51961,default,pd.html...

    What To Do? HELP!

    Ok so here's the deal, I don't have a huge palisades collection, but I've just cleared some space and want to display some others I've had tucked away in a cupboard for a while. Trouble is, they're boxed and boxes don't look so nice on shelves, but I paid good money to get them as new in the...

    What was the last DVD you bought and why?

    I just bought Richard Pryor Live In Concert because I had a £2 voucher and no extra money to spend and of the cheap stuff in the shop this was the best. Saw it on tv a few months ago and it was hilarious.

    eFX's Rizzo Thread

    ahh that makes sense. Rizzo was on show at comicon again from what I've heard but decidedly more faded than he was last year, but still no news.

    eFX's Rizzo Thread

    I would think they'll aim for D23 (what does the 23 stand for? I was thinking it was just the number of times the convention had happened, I guess not if it's gonna be 23 again). Makes sense for them to do that when they have already announced a discount for members. Perhaps that way they think...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    When is the next Disney convention? Will it be D24? I can only guess the number goes up annually. My guess would be that they'll try and have him ready for then so members can pre-order with their discounts while they're there like they announced a while back.

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    That's probably a good call. I'd like to think Paul Williams will be involved at least if they're truly going back to make it more of a classic Muppet movie. I read in one interview with Stoller that he had listened to the soundtrack already and he considered it awesome. I guess it's just demo...

    eFX's Rizzo Thread

    I've pretty much given up too, but part of me is still crossed. Last time I checked the Efx site they were taking orders for the Snow White heart box which was announced at a similar sort of time to Rizzo, so maybe he's next on the agenda once they've dealt with that. They don't seem able to...

    Pics from Behind the Scenes at The Muppet Movie

    These pictures are so great. Thank you for sharing them with us all. It must have been an incredible film to work on. May I ask what your job was for it? Out of sheer curiosity.

    Photo Puppet Maintenance Advice

    A quick trim seems to have helped a lot. Think I need to put some money aside for making a case though. Been toying with the idea since I got them but it's just a distinct lack of pennies and the extra space a case would take up. How big do you think a case would have to be to display all 3...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    It's an interesting point about the not being real puppets. I must admit when I first saw them in a shop window I wasn't sure since before that point I'd never known photo puppets existed/had never thought about it. But at the end of the day they're Muppets and I just had to have at least one of...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

    Thanks for that MuppetCaper. I've started a new thread over on the puppetry board HERE

    Photo Puppet Maintenance Advice

    Hi, I asked about this on the MR Photo Puppet Replicas board and was wisely recommended to ask you lovely puppet building types for some good advice. My MR Kermit seems to be sort of malting, like little bits of the fleece seem to be balling off of him and it's a bit of a concern since he's...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

    My Kermit seems to be sort of malting and it's a bit of a concern. I don't handle Him that often so I doubt that would be the cause. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Is it normal? Any advice on how to keep the posers as nice as possible without being able to afford a glass case...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I don't think $350 is an unreasonable price for Rizzo assuming the final version looks as awesome as the prototype photos I've seen, not that I can afford it any more. He's not my favourite character either but I really want to get him. If they ever get to Fozzie and the pig I doubt they'd be...

    Muppets: DC Almost Live comes to DVD in the UK

    I got last week and just got round to watching it. I didn't really like the show when I saw it on Disney Channel, but hey, new Muppets DVD had to be bought. I must say the bonus features were more enjoyable for me than the actual feature. I think my problem with the show is the real people...
