I did see all of that. Great stuff! TP is getting back to the parts that I liked the best - good in-the-know articles and the ugly toys pageant! I can't wait for that. I think Frank Oz should definitely have a permanent role in executive producing these Muppet projects at the very least. He's...

I know we tend to rag on the puppets a little bit. I do that too. Everyone has there own moments when they thought a particular character looked the best. However, the continuity of quality wasn't always that good in TMS. MT was actually better at that. I do think that Piggy's lack of neck...

I just ventured over to Tough Pigs and noticed their second part article from the set of this special. All I can say is WOW! It seems that much care is going into the special. By the way, there is a part that gets into the infamous toss-away Oz nipple joke that I loved, but some fans found...

I like that the brought Scooter back! I do think they need to find him a permanent performer. This one was good. The last performance in Oz was a little better, but all the recasts have been A level. They just need to pick one and stick with it. It appears they pinned the neck of the puppet...

My feelings too. Non-speaking parts for Rowlf and Scooter have happened before. The absence of Scooter has been something I have particularly followed. He's such an important character to me (I was also MC's resident "Scooter/gofer" for a long while). It's great to hear him again. I really want...

As a guy who worked on him...nope. It's on his head to stay. Even the original gypsum model has them sealed together. A little run down on Usher Scooter. He is technically a little more accurate than the standard version, yet he went through a different factory and required last minute...

If they had 500 preorders for a solid price they could feel comfortable paying a higher fee for a higher quality factory that could handle Fozzie. This type of product is so specific that it takes a certain level of skill and that is where the other factories fell short - especially in the area...

I agree. Even though these things aren't really used to crack nuts, they do need that traditional mouth lever. Otherwise it is just a figure with a tail and weirdly spherical hands. I am thinking that it is possible that the lever is under the chin and that’s why Kermit is looking up? I'll pass...

I would do whatever it takes on my part (that's mostly legal) to get a Fozzie Bear. We had heard it is a face issue. If it takes a higher price, shorter run and more exlusive sort of factory than so be it. Heck, even if we don't get the pig, we need Fozzie.

It is up at www.muppetnewsflash.com as well. A good use of stock photographs. It makes them seem fresh. Who ghost wrote this OpEd?

Hi Travis. You have been with the Muppet brand at both Palisades and Master Replicas. Terry, you and MR all achieved the impossible in giving fans these stunning pieces. I am surprised that there was enough interest to get through the initial three released. That is a testament to the wonderful...

A+ for effort and a solid B for execution, but grades don't count here. First - I must state Travis has been the Muppets biggest supporter over at Master Replicas. It was always his desire to put out the best Muppet product they possibly could! I am very sad that he has left MR for whatever...

During Henson Co ownership they were planning on using motion capture CG puppetry as in Sid the Science Kid and the Henson Hour's Waldo character on the Muppet Babies. That could be interesting and provide more possibilites. I don't see the need for them to make new programs using the same style...

You're right. I think she could be both. That could be interesting. With the exception of The Batman I haven't been an active Saturday morning viewer. The problem with this cancellation and void of such quality animated television programs is due to the fact that there's no strong leadership...

This animated series is allowed to be darker and more stylized than ever before. I think Sci Fi should have picked it up. The production value shows and is a big part of its selling-point. It could also be too expensive for other networks. :sympathy:

The X-Men fims are actually really good. The first one is too short to really get things going, the second one is a lot of movie that's maybe a beat or two too long, and the third one tries to jam too much into it that character motivations and continuity miss the mark. Seeing any of those films...

I have a question: Mr. Lewis, having worked so closely with all the intricately crafted Muppets - which character would be the most likely to end up missing and at your home and why (not that it would happen, of course)? :confused:

This is exactly the reason why Fraggle figures have taken so long to come to the marketplace. Retailers don't believe there's enough support for costly shelf space. I believe they are wrong, but these Muppet posers are a different story entirely. They are a very expensive hard sell. They really...

I am still wondering how Muppety these pieces will be? Will there be Gonzo-like noses, Piggy-like eyes, Animal-like eyebrows, Fozzie-like hats or Kermit-like collars? Will ostrich feathers be used in these? Will we be able to build something that can look kind of like Sam the Eagle or Beaker or...
