    Your Thoughts: It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp

    (don't hurt me) First off I do have to admit this is a well written book... Pepe's probably my second favorite Muppet behind Gonzo so I have been looking forward to this book. It hasn't been on store shelves so I finally just ordered it off Amazon. Well, I got it and have to admit that - I...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    I think you just made my day in stating the inclusion of Doc. I'm on the same page with what you've been reporting and have embraced the idea of your direction since first released. Oh, and get well soon! :coy:

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    The Star Wars figures are actually pretty big. They only seem small. Piggy Leia is 4.5 inches tall from ears to feet. It seems that many of my posts here and there around the web are being frowned upon by longtime Langridge fans. I think that many of them see the Muppets as pure passé kitsch...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    Here's the thread and post listing My Adventures with Master Replicas’ Gonzo Poser. I feel it marks some reasons why MR is skeptical about Fozzie. I tried my darndest by placing him everywhere in this one downtown store and you can skim through here and read the results if curious. And there are...

    Local Muppet Support in San Francisco

    My Adventures with Master Replicas’ Gonzo Poser (picture link at the end of this post) It would be an understatement to cite my intense interest in this product. The depiction of my favorite Muppet on store shelves has always been important to me. To be honest, I had given up on ever seeing...

    I won't be posting anymore...

    :excited: Perfectly stated. :super:

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    Sales are difficult even for large scale Star Wars replicas priced that high, but with that brand they will always eventually sell. That makes display and storage space a good investment for merchants. Unfortunately the same thing isn't true for other brands including the Muppets...yet. I...

    2008 Menu Descriptions

    :coy: Muppet Family Christmas Menu :o A winter landscape of snowy hills and pine trees fades into view. Fozzie’s Ma’s porch is seen on the left with a raccoon and white fluffy bunny peeping out from the snow. To the far right, the Snowman from this classic special is seen sporting his striped...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    You already know of my admiration for Vasquez and all things Zim. I wish they’d stick that show on Cartoon Network along side Venture Brothers and other fare that could support such a strange non-linear program, but the nail's in the coffin on that one. While I understand what Langridge is...

    MindStyle Fraggle Figures Revealed

    The Metreon is still busy. They have the Sony and Playstation stores, but other fare has left due to the price of rent and the struggling economy. Also the ownership recently hiked the rates on new contracts. Even the Tokyo Pop kiosk left a couple weeks ago. Now we have people coming in for...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    The rest of his stuff does look very good, but the Muppets still seems like a work in progress. I suppose this is a genre that you give a lot more slack than, the world of collectibles where you've been much more particular and outspoken. But that does fall in line with your NeoRamen style of...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    Here's a fix (on the right) that uses Langridge's drawing and style with more of the Muppety shape that makes Gonzo - Gonzo. I went over to the Langridge blog where many of the responders likely wouldn't know a Gonzo from a Grover. They seem astounded by the negative feedback thus far. Maybe...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    http://www.hotelfred.com/ contains Langridge's new press release about the Muppets along with the second variant cover. The press release is located down the page after the initial cartoon. Also, click the Muppet cover for hi-res closeup. I actually like most of it. Gonzo is still quite...

    Classic Muppets filming NBC Christmas special

    That was freaky. Wow, that Pig sure has a wandering eye. I'm so excited about this special! :sing:

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    I like your fan fiction. It has a lot of insight into the characters. Edwards appears to have that too in comments made. I don't think he ever said he wanted to cool-up the Fraggles. The only real distinction he made was that there will be a difference between the average episode and his motion...

    And so, American animation comes even closer to death.....

    The cartoons don't appear to be leaving as much as network television is paving the way for its own extinction (or at least irrelevance). TV is being so clumsy about all types of programming these days and is actually considering handing off the last hour of prime time to local markets like Fox...

    I have a question for those "in the know" about an HD TV

    I'm not certain about the brand but I believe this to have 720p resolution rather than the highest standard of 1080p. I've seen both resolutions around that size and the difference is noticeable yet slight. Refresh rate is also important. Even if each frame is sharp in itself sometimes they can...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    It isn't a remake. The only things getting remade are the puppets and the sets because they have decomposed since the 80s and the Trash Heap ain't giving them back. :coy: I'd rather not invent possible reasons to be disappointed for something that hasn't been made yet and is at least a year...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    I'm with you. Why is everyone expecting to be disappointed? This film is still in preproduction. From what Cory Edwards reports - he wrote an epic that was too expansive and inclusive for the Henson Company. That's a good thing. Apparently it has so many good ideas they will have to leave...
