Your work is fantastic! I'm wondering what changes they want made to Gonzo? More purple and hook to the nose tip, the green stripe on the eye lid? I like how you have him, but that's all I can think of. My guess is that they want Kermit mugging the camera a little more. Still, I love this cover...

You're right. There did seem to be so many missed opportunities. They reported to have thought of them all, but that's hard for me to believe. It very well could be true. I did feel that some of the MR staff resented the fan input which is a shame but it didn't really represent the company as...

We like MR. The posers and discussions about them have been around for years. Nobody is bashing anyone. MR really tried to bring the designs of Terry Angus to the market place the best they could. There were mistakes along the way. One being that their promotional product photography on Gonzo...

I wasn't talking about your post at all. However, MR is a very small company consisting of two people in a Walnut Creek office that happens to be a few miles from me. You're confusing them with their parent company Corgi that is now owned by PopCo. Check their site. I think you must have read...

Ditto. I'm still not keen on his Gonzo, but he looks much better. I really can't wait to see what the weirdo's story comic will look like. I guess we're a month away from Kermit's story so we'll get a better idea then. The other Muppets are looking nice.

I don't know where your source for that is, but the pig collects dust when pegged along side other characters. It is a known fact to licensors that was personally shared with me. Beaker is not a minor character to most people. Besides, I didn't say scrap the pig. I just think that many character...

Only a small company like MR would give the idea of Muppet posers a chance, but a small company like MR has trouble with investment cash flow that makes it nearly impossible to actually market, warehouse and retain the line like a bigger company could. But then again, the bigger companies didn't...

My thinking is if another company did get the poser license there would be a 2nd edition of the Kermit poser as well. His reissue (yet only his reissue) would not really upset me because I know for a fact that the majority of collectors will only purchase other Muppet characters if Kermit is...

Um...there's no good way to answer that question is there? :o

Ghostbusters was their primary source of new merchandise! Woah. The economy is really tough right now but collectibles can still do very well. I sell expensive stuff every workday. Tons of it sometimes. The release of the new line of attractive GB action figures must be saturating the market...

:)Happy Birthday Cindy!:flirt: ;)

This will be my first Wondercon so I don't know. The biggest stars mentioned are Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Adam West. I'm not so much into the meet and greet stuff so I'll probably just wonder around the product sections. There are also many programs featured.

I plan to visit Wondercon at the Moscone Center next week. We'll see if there's anything about. My guess is that the Muppet comics will be promoted as well as the Skeksis figure from NECA. Anything other than that will be anyone's guess. I haven't heard anything. MindStyle's postponement of...

A Theory... Here's the skinny of how many companies (not necessarily MR) clear out stock that's been sitting around a while. They wholesale a large number of units to independent sellers that can afford to sit on and warehouse such inventory. The company (like MR) doesn't exactly take a loss...

You're right. There has been little follow-through with any Muppet plans since Jim. I still say the biggest failure to me was in Disney's gross lack of promotion for Muppet Treasure Island (the only release not featured in the E Channel's coming attractions weekly trailer program that year) in...

Some fans don't want any new media from the Muppets. That's what I was talking about. I prefer the classic projects. Preference wasn't my point. There seems to be a classic media crusade you have going whatever the thread and I get that. Just seems to me that you're reading more into my post...

That is a good point. Most of what I posted has been said before and came from interviews from Jim himself like this one. The animated film idea is in there in his own words. Other than that I do know he always wanted to move things forward rather than back. Muppets Tonight was homage to the...

Watchmen legal action synopsis (as I have read) Fox purchased the rights to release and develop the Watchmen franchise in the 80s. Over the years they either cheapened the concept into a farce or seemed disinterested. There have been so many failed attempts. When approached a few years ago with...

Clifford was not created for Muppets Tonight. He was a regular on the Jim Henson Hour. This Arsenio Hall Show was Jim's final television appearance. They were promoting a Disney special that had just been shot. Muppets Tonight was more vaudevillian than it seems would have suited Jim. He wanted...
