Product and marketing-wise Animal has rounded out the top five for years. He's a popular product seller (moreso than Rowlf, Scooter or probably even Fozzie Bear). However, I agree that Scooter and Rowlf historically are more crucial to the center gang than Animal. I wish those two characters...

Close Predictions My Estimates: 1. Kung Fu Panda ($40M+) 2. Indy 4 ($30M+) 3. Sex & the City ($20M+) 4. Zohan ($15M+) 5. Iron Man ($8M+) Projected* Weekend Box Office: 1. Kung Fu Panda - $60M (Better than expected, but top slot.) 2. Zohan - $40M (I mentioned my lack of faith in US...

http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Hallmarksworn.JPG It's pictured on the wiki. It's not Christmassy but I love it! Beautiful! I hope they pick more moments like this for ornaments. This is more in tune to what MR should be doing with their figurines. Muppet moments etc. Their derivative clip...

Terry said something about being commissioned to design the Piggy poser next. I think Rizzo got bumped. I kind of hope to see other Muppets before him anyway. I'm very much a classic Muppet fan, but if it comes down to filling that size slot - Pepe is more striking, beautiful and fun (with all...

My name is Jamie and I'm a Muppet Kubrick addict! :o

I couldn't help it! I just purchased a Supreme Kermit Kubrick that will be shipping soon. I figured he'd be placed with the Sesame Street assortment. :) Since I already have all the Muppets characters and exclusives and all of the Sesame characters and exclusive (except for the 6...

I have faith so far... Kermit took so long to come to market. Then there was much waiting followed by the Gonzo - Animal spot swapping resulting in close release dates between them. There doesn't seem to be a magic formula to these releases, but unless the company wants to eat a lot of...

Rebranding (with extras)? :) It seems to me that the Henson Company is combining the sentiments and artistry of the two previous books and branding them into something new = Jim Henson's Muppety work sans-Kermit and the Muppet brand. That's fine with me; in fact I hope there's some new material...

I'm still waiting for the final two. They're fun looking, but very much remind me of Monsters Inc background characters. Not specific ones, just the look of them. I wouldn't say it's a bad thing. ;)

:excited: Beautiful work. Wish I could make puppets. It's so expressive. So, any backstory on this green and orange fella? :coy:

Here's a little mock up I'm thinking of sticking on a tshirt for myself. It's slightly altered with Gonzo and the background has been removed. :) I think with a few of these sorts of minor touches that these classic images could be used for DVD art. Of course - no floating Piggy heads! ;)...

Back to Basics and Muppety Roots I always had ideas of Muppet film noir spy/gangster movies, Muppet super hero movies, Muppet westerns and even the Muppets take on Shakespeare! All would be great in their own right and I'm sure the Muppets would do these concepts justice, but Segel has it...

I suppose I have been confusing the two a little bit. Both have very similar styles. It was Drew Struzan's work for The Muppet Movie, Caper, Carol and Island and I think it was he that Jim complimented. Struzan also worked on the Colorforms set as well as other items...

Thanks for that link! He did even more work than I had thought! Why Henson and Disney keep releasing unattractive cut and paste cover art when they likely have the rights to use Amsel's imagery is beyond me. It may not be considered cutting edge for a younger demographic, but there are ways to...

:) Richard Amsel's work ranges from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Superman" to "The Dark Crystal" and "The Muppet Movie" film posters. He had a distinct beautiful drawing style that lends credibility to the projects and made me want to go see them as a kid. Too often this artwork is replaced...

Very Muppety! Feel free to lift this. I cleaned it up and formatted it as wallpaper. http://wijitworld.com/stock_images/tmm_ss.jpg This is Richard Amsel's poser concept for The Muppet Movie. Jim Henson always liked how he drew the Muppets. I wish movie posters still looked this good instead...

Are you saying the Count is like Rain Man? :batty: He he! I at least see some mathematical OCD tendencies to him. I hope the PC police never take that away! :insatiable:

Handicapping Weekend Films: What About Indy? ;) As of Wednesday Indy 4 has grossed $226,664,201 US during its 2 weeks of release, while Sex & the City has grossed $73,204,691 US in its first week. Sex & the City is fairly popular, yet I believe it to be a quick impressive trend that will sink...

We know new material has been shot. It's just the process of uploading it to the site. I wish someone would get on that. I look at many brand sites as I do personal computers - every couple years or so it gets completely replaced by a newer model. I expect that the Muppdates are taking a...

:excited: Good selection. I love these little figures. My blue Twiddlebug came the other day and I was so happy to get him. I'm also trying to get the entire MindStyle Henson City Critters collection, but that's taking some time. Darn blind boxes. I wish companies would have more confidence in...
