I hope you're right. I think maybe the tour and Vegas shows were watering down Q's appeal. When Broadway is the only rout I'm sure buisness will be healthy enough to continue the run.

I think it was mentioned somewhere around here before that I work several hours a week at Action Figure Freddy across and down the street from the Metreon. The store has been there for three years and does fairly well. The new "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" action figures are based on the...

You're right. This is a UK calendar. I hadn't noticed. I like mine okay, but I don't see why they keep slapping on all the same few pictures, and in such an ugly way, for every calendar. Wish I'd gotten the Fraggle one instead. :coy:

It's a big froggin' book! I didn't think it would be. I'm probably projecting my disappointment in the very thin (but somewhat amusing) photo-less Pepe book that has become a paperweight. Street Gang, on the other hand, appears to be very thought-out and the endorsement of Frank Oz listed on...

Ooooooh! Just got my copy! I've only flipped open the images and thumbed through it a bit. I'll likely read a bit of it every night and on lunch breaks.

Here is a chart listed by one of our members. Sorry that I don't remember the specific contributor. Them Gorgs are HUGE! :coy:

Tell Santa Fish that this frog is a veggie. Does he do Tofu-Fish? ;)

It really is his Gonzo that is unacceptable. His Kermit seems to be coming along, but the horrible Gonzo design appears to be a deliberate choice that this otherwise fine artist is intent on keeping no matter how much fans dislike it. I would like to see Gonzo in the Langridge style, but that is...

Take it from me - they are very good listeners. :D

My (totally arbitrary) thought is that Fozzie really should come in at $ 499 in an edition number of 800 pieces. We know they have the body down pat. The clothing accessories (hat and tie) seem simple and taken care of too. He is tall, but the SRP doesn't include shipping. ;) The real problem is...

That's the issue. I perfectly understand the issues and cost involved, but they really can't send Fozzie out with an SRP over $ 799. It really should be under $ 500. The question is how long can they afford to sit on such an investment. :coy:

That movie still gives me nightmares. :o I don't think the Muppets had much opportunity for anything but showing up and saying their lines in their Oz. I liked it, but there was no driving force - no engine to the movie. And there certainly was no sense of urgency. I suppose that's one thing...

Walter Murch's Return to Oz is the closed anyone has gotten to the world Baum created. MGM's tale is fantastic, but it doesn't even come close to the book. But then again, even though the Muppets based their Oz on the source material they then proceeded to shove it all into a blender and just do...

I think Barretta does a great job as Rowlf and Teeth.

That's great! Upon the arrival of these very cool items you should keep in mind that they look a little stiff and corpse-like at first, but after you soften them up and get them right where you want them they do spring to life. They also seem to look even more fantastic every day! I am so glad...

Howard is alright by me. I see potential in him if they can expand the humor beyond his girth and gayness. Of course those elements are part of him, but I think his bits are missing that extra layer of humor that even seemingly one-note Muppets like Animal and Swedish Chef have. Also, of...

That would be nice, but I doubt it's the case. There were many obscure new books in the new release section. Street Gang should have been there. They didn't carry Pepe's book either, but I can understand that. If I had flipped through that book beforehand I'd have left it on the shelf due to the...

LTS seemed to have a "film look" by way of slightly desaturated colors, quality composition, movie-esque sets and real life locations. But then again so did VMX, but LTS had that Kermit-Fozzie-Gonzo trio and an appearance that brought me back to the golden age of GMC with them dancing down the...

For some reason people stay home from the cinema in January and February. The industry has changed and it's so easy for a film to open and close in less than a week. Muppets From Space disappeared very quickly. I think it was largely considered a mess by those in charge and they wanted to...

Wow. The fact that I forgot Oz must say something. I did enjoy it. I think that the Mayhem's success is akin to Rowlf's and Scooter's. They all need permanent performers cast into those roles for them to thrive beyond one-liners. Rowlf was handed to Barretta a while back and he's popped up...
