I have felt the same thing too. :concern:

We already have an active thread for this topic located here: Muppets you'd like to see back... where you actually posted. Is there any reason you created a duplicate thread? :sympathy:

My Question for Jim Hey Mr. Lewis. Frogboy James again with a question. There has been much talk about a Halloween Muppet TV special. I do find it strange that the Muppets have so many Christmas specials, but have been lacking in other holiday fare since the time of Jim Henson. Hypothetically...

I don't see what you are complaining about. Jim Lewis is known for his prompt responses (especially for an industry professional) and he just sent us some answers yesterday. Have you been reading this thread? They are listed in Dwayne's posts. Maybe you missed it. :confused: Dwayne collects...

I'm a little bit...cough...older than some of you so I found out about Fraggle Rock back when Muppets easily marketed themselves in Muppet Magazine! That's where I ordered all of the Fraggle toys (yes, I had the Fraggle five plushes, Uncle Matt, some wind up Doozers, all of the figure PVCs, lots...

That's the smart way to do it. My store carries some of their fine Star Wars helmets and replicas that fans salivate over, but are slow to buy because of the expense. And that's Star Wars! Of course, it is a license they've since lost to Hasbro. I fear their Disney license will be the next one...

We probably won't notice any changes. It seems they're just cutting internal staff and remaining employees will have to take on more responsibilities. I'm sure they will still produce full seasons of quality shows and churn out Elmo and Abby DVDs and products to make some money for SW. However...

You didn't know TP had a forum, or are you being facetious? ;) Tough Pigs Forum has been around for quite a few years (at least seven or eight) now. They often have contact with industry folk as you have with Jim. It will be interesting to read what questions they will have. There's a lot of...

We call him Waldo in the United States, but he was originally Wally. Just looked it up. You learn something new everyday, I guess. Norway calls him Willy. (chuckling a little bit) :halo:

Bert was a special guest on the Muppet Show back when the line was blurry. We all know that it isn't anymore. However, Sesame Workshop isn't likely to sue over the homage version of Bert in these new TMS comics. I think we should probably move on from this topic because we all know the info even...

What I did to my posers eyelids was this - -I very carefully painted the edge of the white inner plastic shell with a matching green acrylic paint concoction. It took a few coats over a day's time. -I then gently position them back or forward with the few millimeters worth of "give" that...

"Spoon!" (Okay, had to say that. Sorry for the muffining.) :p

I wouldn't be surprised if the official posers required pinning as well - especially recent ones. There is this misconception that the Jim Henson company kept pristine puppets and posers of their characters when in fact they didn't. The Muppets (in every form) were and are always in some state...

Personally, I'd like to see some Fraggle homage too. Maybe even a skeksis-like creature somewhere in the background. It's a big Muppetverse.

The eyelid material is authentic. The real Gonzo is typically rebuilt every several months because of wear and tear so be very careful. That is also why his nose has the netting over the foam - to prevent damage. Some people have found ways to pin back the eyelids for display (the same with...

Coraline will reach Australia on May 7th. You haven't missed it. :flirt: It still has yet to hit the UK too (on the 8th). Of course, you'll have to deal with the Jonas Brothers a week after that. :grouchy:

You mean I'm not a Muppet? :confused: Seriously, I'd be a funky Muppet with an unnatural love for goldfish crackers and Cyndi Lauper. He'd look a lot like Toadie my FAO whatnot.

Dwayne has the in with Mr Jim. He throws the question to Jim and Dwayne throws the answer back to us. :D

It appears to me that kids today are far too jaded to enjoy those theme restaurants the way we did decades ago. They're too busy on their mp3 players and/or iphones to even look up when in public. I'm still on the fence whether a Muppet animatronic restaurant would have been a good idea once...

I must rant... I have long held that (what I personally consider to be) disposable Disney dreck is harmless and necessary to increase company profits so that they can invest in endeavors of greater quality. I have sat by and bit my tongue through Hannah Montana, High School Musical and the...
