I love the Thinking Kermit statue as well. It's all really cool stuff. I don't think I care for the waterglobe though...I had a bad experience where the interior of a Franklin Mint waterglobe now looks like it has mucus in it. Uck.

Well, how on earth am I supposed to know which of the 3 of you are my favorite you? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Hi, Convincing John. There's a whole thread dedicated to the topic of FR being cancelled with contact information galore. And if anyone can convince them to continue, it's you! ;)

Four Dollassss an' Fi'ty Centses! :)

Hot Topic recently had a Lamb Chop hand puppet which was beautiful and looked nearly 100% like the real one. I then searched out and got a Hush Puppy and Charlie Horse hand puppets as well. Finally, several years ago I found some little PVC figures of the three which stand about 3 inches tall...

"Picky" means if it represents the character well (Palisades action figures, NECA's Ghostbusters and Nightmare Before Christmas action figures) then I want it. If it doesn't (MEZCO's Blues Brothers), then I don't want it.

Shaver, good idea. Forgot about that method. In a church I used to attend they had a HUGE puppetry room and had a ton of the smaller puppets up on the wall in the same fashion, had plastic bags over them to keep them from getting dusty; the bigger puppets were in crates stacked on the floor...

So, was it like a vacation spot or like Skywalker Ranch with a studio on it and stuff?

Not if all they make are christmas movies... Keep in mind, too, that Disney was also involved in several of the Muppets productions that the JHC was doing as well. Both TV and Movies. You know the titles. I think Muppets From Space was the only thing Disney didn't participate in, that was...

I second that! (Of course, I would!)

I think a full history of these abbreviated titles were either in Jim Henson the Works book, or on the www.henson.com website? I saw a breif, but full, history on this subject somewhere once. Interesting stuff.

I didn't even know about a ranch. Shows how much "I" know...

I LOVE all this stuff they're making, but doggone it it's all so expensive! The Thinker is my favorite here!

I don't know. So far, that's about the only disappointment I've had with Disney was their spokesperson saying that. I noticed they cancelled it, and was looking forward to that all happening. I thought it would make a great TV special or a DVD purchase.

Awesome article! Thanks for sharing that! Who's with me: Time for a new TV show and a movie??

I may have to get it. Just simply because how well it captures the spirit of Kermit and stays true to the character!

That art is great. I prefer conventional puppetry to CGI. Something more life-like about real puppets and you can get better improvisation than you can from a scripted, CGI film. However, if it's a long-shot and you are showing the Fraggles walking along a sidewalk or a field in the movie...

That has me totally crackin up!

I would love to see Lamb Chop come back! Even if it isn't with the "human." Hushpuppy always cracked me up.

WOE, will "I" want this. You know how picky I truly am about things I buy like this! Will I want to buy this?
