I've lived without cable for nearly a year now. I'm pretty much covered for entertainment via NetFlix, Hulu and the cineplex across the street. Any important clip eventually goes viral on the web so I'm never far behind. I do love cable, but at this expense - what's the point? So, maybe I'll...

The Disney Store is back, but in a different location and under Disney management. They are now right by the Apple store where the Benetton used to be. It's two floors of Disney goodness. Sure, they have the usual tot stuff and princess items out the wazoo, but they keep that toward the back of...

I'm sure some Muppets Kitchen viewers really do like the original Angelo puppet, but I didn't think he looked like a Jim Henson style Muppet. He looks a little off-brand to me. I had a few minutes and tweaked the current Angelo design into a more Muppetized version. It's still not the route...

Not sure if this has been reported yet...The Disney Shop Online has many Muppet cell phone, laptop computer, MP3 player and game device skins for a variety of different brands and types. There are home decor giant wall decals too! Yes, for some reason it refers to Floyd and Zoot as Sherlock...

:o Never seen this before, but I love the style and it's using the recent licensing art Fozzie. Is this new? Edit! There are more! Animal, Kermit & Miss Piggy.

As a new Junior Partner and General Manager at Action Figure Freddy I have a heap of new responsibilities. One is the 6x3 foot marquee design for our new monthly events. Our first marquee featured two Pixar artists promoting their own cheeky toon playing cards. This month featured a local...

New Hsu Review: Multi Grain Artist Martin Hsu follows up his exquisitely eclectic book of Doodles & Noodles with this brilliant new compilation of wood paintings. Even a poor fellow like me can get his eager fingers on this amazing anthology! I’m tickled to find his infamous Hello Kitty...

Gonzo the Great will be available to gamers who purchase a Collectors' Edition of Little Big Planet from a particular retailer (to be determined) this November! Here's the whole skinny and all the characters listed. :concern:

I thought a thread about good and bad television series finales would be fun. Which ones are satisfying and the ones that left you feeling either "meh" or completely hosed? Possible spoilers ahead. Some of my picks: (in no particular order) Good: Fraggle Rock: for a rushed ending it...

DelToro has quit the Hobbit after doing every bit of preproduction he could manage from design to animatics. No film has been more ready-to-go than the Hobbit, but MGM holds a significant portion of the rights and is having trouble and they won't sign off the rights to anyone else. They even...

I just noticed that all of the classic Muppet film posters are available through one particular seller on Amazon. I've never used them before, but ordered one to note the quality and post about it here. So much new Muppet stuff is coming out, but little of it matches the quality of these...

Just did a search for the 2011 Muppet calendar and came up with this result. I'm not sure what to think of it. They aren't showing much. :)

Has anyone seen any of the films from this Barcelona company? Here's the reel posted by a friend of mine today. I think "Nocturna" was released 10 years a go in the PAL format, but I'd love to get my hands on a US DVD copy. :)

:hungry: I've seldom had good dealings with Paypal so Ebay isn't an option for me, but I really need the Vinylmation Swedish Chef to complete my collection. Does anyone have an extra that you're willing to sell to me via Money Order etc? I really need him. Thanks.

I just attended SF Wondercon and got to meet some great people! First off, John Loter, best known to you guys for all the marketing materials, images and products he's done for Disney properties including the Muppets, drew me a birthday card with his signature character Bad Girl. Very sweet. I...

You might not have noticed, but the little toyshop I managed in San Francisco closed down in February due to the horrible economy and the tucked away location. Well, I got word today that Action Figure Freddy is coming back, and this time we'll be in SF Chinatown! The life of a freelance...

Disney's upcoming "Rapunzel" film was renamed "Tangled" in an effort to encourage more boys to see it. The term Princess is big business for Disney, but that's in toys and the home video market. They didn't fare well with "Princess and the Frog" so they've decided to swap out the name. I'm not...

I just can't wrap my brain around the numerous articles about why the US Post Office is suffering. Everybody likes getting mail and nobody provides that service better these days than the USPS. So what's the problem? Hey, we all order things online The idea that fewer people are mailing...

I drew the short-packed Muppet Vinylmation "special mystery figure" It's a 55th anniversary Kermit figure and I'm willing to trade him for 2 regular assortment Muppet Vinylmation figures. I already have Rizzo and Sweetums and will accept anyone else. However, I'd only want Bunsen if he came with...

Scan down to the last paragraph in this new article. This is so cynical, but it's where Disney is heading. They're only making films on the cheap or blockbuster franchise pieces. It seems they still have faith in the Muppets. We'll see. It also appears they will want to blitz us with Muppet...
