Its so weird that we went from free love and fighting against censorship in the 70s to a song being "problematic". Its like... innocent normal interactions between men and women is bad, but crazy outlandish overtly sexual behavior is ok. Its so weird.

Considering the words was in the song Happiness Hotel in Great Muppet Caper which is rated G, it really isnt a big deal.

It should be considered a rape song to begin with. Its a song about a woman who wants to spend the night with a man she likes but since they are not marries she is afraid of what it will do to her reputation so the man is giving her an excuse she can use when telling her family why she spent...

Yeah, the appeal of the line for me is the multi character packs. The only solo figure we got that i tjought was ok to be solo was Animal for the drum set. They should have put more into the singing food variety instead of spoons and stuff. I like as many Muppet faces in a display as i can...

Someone posted a review of the new Chef figure. Shows some detailed shots. It looks ok, but recently i broke out my Santa Chef figure and this pales in comparison to the detail of the old Palisades one. I know its not totally fair to compare the two lines, and DST has some figures I like...

Honestly... I don't know if I would rather no Muppets or animated Muppets. The new Muppet Babies style is mostly really well done and matches the Muppet look.

As time goes by there are fewer and fewer people that understand what the chara ters are. Steve claimed to, but even he had this weird morally perfect vision of Kermit that was not true to his Jim Henson self.

Steve seems like a nice enough guy, but i dont want to see him back as Kermit. I like Matt's take on the character. I wouldnt mind seeing him back in general playing Rizzo and background characters. I dont know what "adult" projects the Muppets have done. The 2015 show really wasnt all that...

I don't understand how being inclusive means excluding Christmas. It's basically a secular holiday now. Wouldn't a better answer to this issue be to include all winter holidays instead?

I've ordered from them a lot and then tend to be a little slow, but they also have their Chef figure priced less than any other place I've seen. I am hoping he comes soon though. I've started sculpting some smaller singing food to be in scale with the DST Chef. Already finished a tiny cabbage...

Yes, this is why I like Matt as Kermit. His Kermit is more like the lovable prankster of TMS that only got frazzled when things really went wrong. He use to be able to hold his own against Piggy in an argument and had no problem telling other characters when he thought their acts were bad. In...

Apparently Jim Henson planned on the two to break up, even announcing it publicly with the intention of doing a publicity campaign called "Pig in the 90's". The break up announcement was 6 days prior to Jim Henson's passing and was of course over shadowed and then dropped altogether as if it...

The Muppets Wizard of Oz was basically a transition piece that was already in the works before the sale. It was still pretty much a JHC piece but with some Disney influence via scripte changes. I think that is why it was such a weird movie.

Cause they fired and stripped him of his ability to perform characters he did for decades.

I think i agree, at least smoother than Steve Kermit voice starting in the 2000's. Also i like that Matt does have Kermit talk with a disgusted face like Steve started to do in the last few years he performed the character.

I agree. It reminded me of old school muppet appearances. I like when frog jokes are minimal.

Never mind, answered my own question: Side Effects May Include It was cute. Kermit was in character. Puppets eye focus was a little wonky though.

Are the segments posted online?

Yep. I was 19 and doing nothing with my life and asked Ken if i could sculpt something for the line. He said to go ahead and do it and if he liked it he would use it. At the time I was doing sculpey custom figures that were ok, but far from professional quality. I worked day and night on a...

Unfortunately no. I made it specifically to be produced multiple times specifically due to people saying they wanted one. Even 4 years later people here, on Tough Pigs, and on "The Muppet Collection Page" said they liked it, wanted one, and said it was reasonably priced. Normally a high...
