    The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

    I like that Roger Rabbit avatar, Tooth. Er...I mean - Bonkers avatar. He he. ;) I always liked that show, but knew at an instant (even before I was told) what it was supposed to be before Eisner upset Spielberg. The fans are the ones who lost in the Rabbit wars. "Disney season! Amblin...

    Top 5 Retired Muppets

    I consider Beauregard semi-retired since he only comes out for a quick gag once in a very long while. It appears that these lists include characters performed by active Muppeteers Goelz and Whitmire. I wonder who'd they'd get to do Deadly if he were to come back?

    Top 5 Retired Sesame Street Muppets

    I still think of Little Bird as a boy. Has that ever been established or is it up to individual interpretation? Jim began the character, if I am correct. :)

    Okay, I'll bite on this one too. :p 1 Herry Monster (I miss his blue fuzzy self) 2 Kermit the Frog (I miss his reports) 3 Little Bird (whatever happened to him?) 4 Bruno (word is he was never rebuilt) 5 The Yip Yips (I know, a simple gag, but it's funny) (along with the cast of Sesame...

    Student Expeled from art school for quoting Sweeney Todd

    It appears to be a life lesson, to gage the flow of traffic, know when to act, react, to stop and take a stand. Different groups will always have different opinions on what is appropriate. The key is to stay open-minded while true to one's self while accomplishing one's goals. I tell you it’s...

    Preliminary Thoughts on Master Replica's Fozzie Bear

    It's usually standard that a product bible is made for factory production. Let's hope the factory has their A-talent on it. That's the rub! In a factory situation it's kindo of like the difference bewtween a Ford Mustang and a Ford Pinto. It's all about the talent they put on it. :p

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    Back in the late 1980s when I lived in Houston (the 4th largest city in the United States) I remember going to the centrally located Blockbuster Video store and noticed those Muppet kid-vids made up the bulk of the Muppet selection. I even remarked to the store management about it, precocious...

    Preliminary Thoughts on Master Replica's Fozzie Bear

    I was thinking you hadn't seen the latest pictures. I didn't see that much of a problem with the Con pictures until Terry's final proto. I also agree with you on the body. Fozzie's weight appears to fluctuate between projects. Hope he doesn't end up like Kirsty Alley. :zany: I couldn't bear to...

    Franchises you'd like to see the Creature Shop tackle?

    Winnie the Pooh - a classic storybook-look using actual puppetry mixed with the slightest bit of CG. (This would not look like the World of Pooh doll-like show on the Disney Channel) The Real Wizard of Oz series based on the books. Maybe a cable mini series. A biographic motion picture on...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    I miss the Palisades touch. Everyone who came on Muppet Central (and eventually Palisades) Forum could at least get some sliver of information. They were a small, thinly-spread company too. But every company is structured differently. Back in those days if there was no news to report; Ken...

    Your Thoughts: MC’s 10th Birthday

    When did you first visit Muppet Central? I first visited Muppet Central in the fall of 1999. I remember my friend and I contacted Phillip nearly a year later concerning problems I was having with the Henson website. He replied, notified Henson and the issue was resolved. I remember admiring the...

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    I'm not happy about Disney's foot-dragging, but they do seem to be keeping the characters in the public eye and are now seriously distributing the Muppet Show DVDs now that they have a new team on them. Something was streamlined in that process. I'd like more stuff on them, but seriously, just...

    Thanks. Like the tongue color and material. Did you do something to the nose too? Looks a little bigger than the replica-standard nose. :halo:

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Even without those alterations, the MR photos of both Animal and Gonzo are just plain bad. My Animal looked much better right out of the box than the MR photographs! The hair really doesn't need to be trimmed or the tongue removed (unless one wants to shut Animal's mouth). The marker...

    My Thoughts: Disney's Muppets

    It's a branding problem. The Muppets brand was "kiddified" before Jim Henson died and has had a hard time getting out of that slump. The Babies and the Muppet Show character kid-vids might be okay in some opinions, but they weakened much of the edge and perception of the Muppet Show characters...
