Correction: Far From a "Flop"- I kind of get sore when folk perpetuate the idea that the The Dark Crystal was any kind of flop. It wasn't! Say what you must about expectations and disappointments, but the film reportedly cost $15 million and grossed $40 million domestically. This does not...

A lot of brick and mortar stores only stock the biggest new movies on the day of release. It's unfortunate, but true. I'd expect this DVD to be stocked in most stores within a week or so.

I find much of the weird (and rare) Muppet hate actually comes from a distain of puppets and not the Muppet brand or projects as a whole. I've even heard some equate Muppets to clowns. Clowns are just plain creepy IMHO and have nothing to do with Kermit and the gang. Some people are just going...

I can agree with all of that. I just would like to see these made! :) One thing going for fans on the plush side of things is that Disney seems to be filling more Muppet items in their flagship stores that seem to be on the rise again. I have no doubt that once the film comes out there will...

I've been a member of MC for over a decade now and I just can't see much marked change over the past several years. It's all the same to me. And of course there was much going on in the couple of years before my arrival here too. This forum is actually a lot calmer than it was in the Delphi days...

I understand that too and respect that decision. I just hope they can actually bring these to market someday. However, I will once again reiterate that since each of these EFX posers won't be individually built by an expert like the real ones - they aren't going to be 100% authentic...just as...

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...

Exactly. The changes I was talking about have more to do with things like possibly using factory dyed fabric than individually hand dyed fabric for some items. Maybe having more uniformity in how the eyes are produced that might not only make it cheaper, but also could potentially insure that...

:(I haven't recognized Sesame Street for quite some time. I do think they need to put more classic Sesame characters into the mix to balance out Elmo and Abby. This includes Ernie and Bert. :p

Call me a dreamer, but I think there's much unexplored territory in-between the average plush and a 100% authentic, individually handmade poser. One of those rungs belongs to the MR posers *and* whatever Rizzo or Kermit poser EFX releases through the factory process. The needle is already a...

(I agree on many points of Will & Grace, but I do have a little affection for it. I love Karen and would have rather seen a different premised, more in-depth show based on her entourage. Fleshed out the character a little more. As much as they milked the humor, there was much more they could...

That Guy With The Glasses .com’s Last Angry Geek Reviews The Muppet Show Family Reunion Comic: HERE Psssst - I’d start past the intro jokes at 2 minutes in and straight to the obnoxious puppetry. Warning: Many Spoilers Ahead! Can’t say I agree with most of it, but it’s an interesting...

We need a [LIKE] button for such insightful comments! I agree 100% :super:

Okay, well...while I don't agree with Little Shop being on anyone's naughty list, I think it opens the door to a frank and respectful discussion so I'll cut loose a little bit. Woooahahaa! Titanic - I just didn't care much for the teeny-bopper love story and the digital ship sinking in the...

I sooooo hope for cameos by Snagglepuss and Huckleberry Hound! Who's with me? :coy:

I just did a check on Ebay and of all of the Sideshow Busts - only Beaker is unavailavle and Scooter is the lowest priced of the buy-it-now bunch. Scooter's one of my faves, but that's the marketplace skinny and has been for a while. Same stats for Ebay UK. TMS accurate Super Scooter exclusive...

I was disheartened after seeing Justin Timberlake mentioned as the voice of Boo Boo, but it seems he does a fairly good impression. Enough elements are present. Now it all depends on the story. This is Yogi.

I can't vouch for Bryan or your coworkers. I'm certainly not an expert, but I do have a little more working knowledge than most in the area of basic action figures, high end collectibles, Muppets and what customers of all sorts will spend real money on. Sometimes it bewilders me how a bit...

I've already got mine, but while a blind box figure goes for $10 online, an open/known Vinylmation Rizzo goes for between $20 and $30 on the open market. Hope this helps in pricing. :shifty:

Fantastic work! :concern:
