    Palisades Zoot statue question

    Fingers should not be broken. :cool: The sax fits fine in his hands right out of the box.

    The Kev and Muley Thread

    I've always found costumed versions of puppets to be a little disconcerting, but not as freaky as Santa Fish! Actually, I've got to get some puppet building tips from you. The bug bit me to actually make my own. Someone here was talking on the forum about Gonzo eyelids so I kind of doodled...

    Will There Be News From Toy Fair 2009?

    There is definite markup. Brick and mortar stores centrally located in the heart of a city need to pay their rent. I call this markup "the urban tax" because if a customer is willing to drive to an outlet store in the boonies where they don't know a Jawa from a Jar Jar or where they'd be located...

    What TV shows are you currently watching?

    Is Dollhouse any good? I have been looking forward to it, but haven't had the time to watch. It's the new Joss Whedon created show starring Eliza Dushku. :flirt:

    Legends of the Dark Crystal

    I've often been critical of what I refer to as the JapAniManga influence in modern comics. I have seen some beautiful interpretations from time to time. They do exist in the style, but far too often the genre eclipses the very charm and essence that drew me to something like the Dark Crystal to...

    Muppet Learning Keys

    This is an ooooold product for old systems when floppy discs were still actually floppy. 1984. I doubt it would work on a modern system. Seems like an early version of what LeapFrog does now. I'd be interested to see if it could work with any of those tools.

    Will There Be News From Toy Fair 2009?

    That's exactly what Disney has been doing - promoting the Muppets. They have items coming out. Just no traditional toys yet.

    Elmo Tickle Hands: Good Idea Gone Wrong

    How in the world did this product get past the pitch phase? Elmo's red, furry palms alone should have indicated that this might not be the best idea. :p There are so many jokes running around in my head, but I'll spare the forum. :halo:

    If JIM HENSON was alive TODAY

    Entertainment projects in general have become cheaper and sleazier over the last decade or so. Some of this has to do with technology. It's cheaper, easier and more accessible for anyone to produce video media these days. It's a good opportunity that's usually squandered on less than noble...

    How did Jim die?

    Nothing will ever match the classic Muppet projects in quality or entertainment value. That's a given. But it is exactly the aggressive pessimism expressed in this post that I detest. Jim was always an optimist. He wanted the Muppets to live on and even in their clumsy struggles it's good to...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    Thanks! I bookmarked Meltdown's webstore page awaiting news of your cover. However, I do have it as my screensaver. I can't wait to see it all tagged and branded for the new era of Muppet comic books. :D

    Original Muppet Whatnot Workshop now off-line

    Oh, I know Jessica Rabbit well. Not only is that one of my favorite films, but I have three production cels from the movie including Jessica Rabbit (she's with lipstick and mirror in hand in Eddie's office). Good choice for a song too! You probably know that was Amy Irving, Stephen Spielberg's...

    Confessing Crushes...

    You do know the creepy thing about Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) on Dexter and her on-screen half-brother, Dexter himself (Michael C. Hall), were recently married in real life. Just thought I'd make a note of it. :eek: Okay, so back to topic - even though I am happily spoken for, I do have a...

    Cards Section

    Fan Card Ideas? You are certainly welcome Beau! (insert Beauregard smiley here) I think maybe we should form a fan cards section of the forum where forum members can create their own themed cards that can be personalized by the sender. I know there are many Photoshop artists and illustrators...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    On the complaints... I actually turned my pupil complaint into a proactive tutorial on how to resolve it and had Phillip tag it onto the end of Muppet Central's Gonzo review. The eye shells didn't bother me so much. People don't remember, but there were some early issues with white joint...

    I like him. I'd watch his show. :)

    Is this the death of the replica line?

    You posted so much about that topic already that the final Disney inclusion is redundant, but still a different point. I get that. The small workshop churning out extremely expensive pieces would be insulting to most of the supporters of the line so far. MR knew that and I guess Disney figures...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    The revisions look nice, but I too will miss disgruntled Kermit. You so beautifully got that Kermit expression the puppet has down in cartoon form. Happy Kermit is cool too and I get why Disney prefers that version. The Animal shag is spot-on! :halo:

    I like her. The lips are a nice touch and there are endless options for hairstyles and accessories. Good job! Keep us posted. :)
