Jeff Daniels only works if they only plan to make (or he only plays him for) the last decade of Jim's life. :sleep: I like Daniels, but Gosling seems a better choice for the early years. :)

I bought mine today direct from Master Replicas. :concern:

Vinyl figures are kind of like the porcelain of plastic figures. Seldom articulated, but they can be very nice representations of characters. It's just a smooth plastic. The use of this type of vinyl plastic figure is common and attractive as long as the likeness is well done. Many times these...

They'd have to. I think any good actor who'd want to play Jim would be (and want to be) trained in puppetry. I still think they should and will pick an actor over a puppeteer. Someone in their mid-30s would be my guess.

When I visited, the black screen was replaced by the same stock art Muppet group photo for each song. This could be a temporary place-holder for more visual content to come.

:coy: I am excited too. I hope they are affordable! The Dark Crystal figures were too expensive (and too stylized) for my wallet. It is nice that there's enough Muppety, Hensony goodness out there competing for our dollar! I suspect the Fraggle line will mimic Palisades' Muppets line; however do...

On Laverne... LOL! She's not just the shrill lady with Rosie in the old K-Mart ads.:D Women directors in Hollywood are scarce. My film student alter-ego could provide many theories on why that is, but I'll spare you. Trust me, it's better that way. It should be noted that Penny Marshall...

Oh, man. Moving bites. You have my sympathies. Wish I knew more to say. :sympathy:

The old Muppets.com/Muppet Studios web-park seemed like a place Disney felt they had to stick the Muppets so they wouldn't harm themselves or others! :eek: Even with a character on the screen the place seemed lonely and unpopulated. Just not the right tone. I suppose I feel the Muppets are...

Well, it will have some sort of conflict as all films do. The question is how deeply they'll delve into his life. Honestly, I don't want to hear too many specifics of his marriage other than reported facts and the bond he shared with Mrs Henson through the end of his life. I imagine there...

Is there anything else to be noted on this list? Noted Disney Muppet projects Muppets.com XD (new content, more approachable, engages all ages) Muppet replicas & statues (from Master Replicas) Muppet Show DVD (season 3) Muppet Comics (this spring) Muppet merchandise (think green, calendar...

I wouldn't say the opening dance sequence is juvenile. It appears that the Muppet performers got together and just had a lot of fun. I admit that that performance (and a couple others) was a little out of character. The puppets were also fairly good. There are some personal tweaks I'd make to...

You know, I was thinking the same thing when Piggy came on and said that. :mad:

A Kermit icon would help This is fantastic. I was wondering why the other Muppets.com site seemed abandoned for so many years. The Muppets through both Henson and Disney have had a track record of starting online projects that received little to no follow through. This new stuff is nice! It...

Many years ago I designed two possible smilies for Elmo - one had horns (that didn't go over well). :o Elmo's out, but other beloved characters are in. I also scrapped speechless as an emotion for "googly eyes" because no Muppet should be repressed or sport an X on his mouth. He he. I...

Well, sending the final few out now. Hope to see them soon upon staff approval, but Sesame fans are gonna be really happy! There are more smilies being added than I had originally figured. However, this will complete any open spots to the right. No Fizgig or Muppephones, but some better stuff I...

Very true! That and corn syrup is evil! :crazy: Why the heck is it in everything? (thank goodness for my corn allergy)

I think the "sweet-toothed" one is a lock in a different form.

My critiques may have seemed harsher than intended... Realistically I think Gonzo is somewhere between a very nice doll and an accurate replica. I never meant to imply that he isn't worth getting. On the contrary I think he is definitely worth purchasing by the avid Muppet fan with the cash in...
