I've given every US President the benefit of the doubt when each one stepped into office even when I didn't support their candidacy. You never know what any of them are about until they actually do something as President. I was supportive of the last Bush for over half of his first term...

Oh, certainly. I just don't think the other options (commissioned pieces or warehousing stock) proposed are realistic for MR. I have faith that there's a factory out there that can make Fozzies that can be released with an SRP that might be double Animal's rather than ten-times his final price...

Neither warehousing stock nor individually commissioned Fozzies make good business sense for a small company like MR or even a larger company these days. There's too much risk in both methods and not enough profit margin. Both are out of the box ideas, but too wacky to work in this current...

Business, politics and religion have always been intertwined. I wish each could stay out of the other but it's like getting a couple of tiny rat hairs out of a vat of peanut butter! Out of the assortment of Bushs, Clintons and even John McCain - Obama is the least tied to big business and...

Well you're talking about many things there that don't have to do with the two-party system. All attempts at expansion beyond the two-party system become corrupted by the agendas of the wealthy and I don't see that changing for quite some time. The one change that Obama did bring was in fund...

If MR can afford to make 500 Fozzie Bears and warehouse them until retailers and customers will shell out the $3,000 a piece SRP than it's do-able. otherwise it just can't happen at that price point. I still feel it's apples and oranges. In and of himself - Fozzie Bear is just not as iconic...

This is where I feel Obama is different. Hillary Clinton was the standard Democrat and old-school politician running against Republican McCain and the more "purple-minded" Obama. He received the Democratic Party nomination, but largely raised his funds from the people rather than the Clinton...

Even a $1000 Fozzie just couldn't happen for this fan in the real world. A person that could spend 3G on a Fozzie could just as well commission one from a private builder on the down low. It's moot. No store would stock it and there's no guarantee that such a product could sell through in under...

Now that I agree with. People wonder why we have lead in some of the toys sold in the US. That's precisely because US companies and bargain stores have only price points on their minds instead of quality or US employment. Chinese factories underbid one another, pay their workers next to nothing...

I expect Democratic party donations are funding everything but the oath of office so I suppose the high profile people attending the inauguration festivities are the ones paying for it instead of the taxpayers. I would rather the money go to something else, but the truth is it probably would...

Powerpuff Girls Complete Series Set You do realize that the complete series set (minus only the theatrical film) is due out today! It even includes the holiday special.

Getting *too* far off topic is against forum policy, but it didn't get near that far IMHO. Usually when remarking about it is best to add something on-topic to discuss. So I'll add a little something that's been on my brain. So far Street Gang has elaborated too much on Cooney's biography...

The Jim Henson Hour could be released, but this is what Disney would have to do to any avoid legal wrangling: -Cut Jim Henson's appearance in the introduction. -Cut the second half as most of that is owned by the Henson Co. -Remove references in the first half about the second half...

It's a Fossil watch. I didn't know there were that few made. I'm hoping they'll do some new high-end Muppet watches as part of the new push.

Was Little Bird really to be that big in the final piece? :wisdom:

Beautiful Statler and Waldorf puppets! Personally, if they made them I'd want them all. Every TMS cast icon to the right and then some.

I was initially on the fence about the video due to the fact that the subject matter appeared juvenile on the surface, but the take on it was more Muppety at the time than anything I'd seen since Jim. That program introduced the Muppets to a generation that had missed the Muppet Show. It's one...

Little known Muppet fact - Janice was likely named after Joplin but was originally designed as a male character to resemble Mick Jagger. (Dude looks like a lady) :flirt: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/e/e0/Janicesketch.JPG
