Ok, I'll bite. The castle is very cool. Aughra, well it's been established how I feel about the expense and style of the MindStyle sculptures so I won't be running that too far into the ground. The thing about stylized character representations is that there needs to be a film accurate one...

I didn't see much biting criticism in the referenced post. I doubt that Disney and Henson execs are taking this discussion personally. Reasonable comments (as I feel many of these posts have been) are the bread and butter of any interesting forum. :o That said, I do agree that there's...

I don't have too much faith in Piggy scultps, but this one from the Disney site has given me hope. :) The Kermit, however... frog's got lips! :eek: Also (should be a thread on this) but Muppets.com has a poll question about TMS2 favorite extras. Don't know how/if they'll really process...

I wish that ugly amateurish Photoshopped cast poster would go away and make room for other images like the classic 70s poster just mentioned. That hodge-podge cut and paste job looks too contrived to me. It may be difficult to make out here, but the size, shadows and color correction are...

This is definitely conceptual art with a little bit of prototype as a foundation. It looks promising! Didn't notice that tail in my first look at it. Odd. :o I'm sure they'll fix that. I'm not expecting too much by way of likeness, but I think it will be better than the mock-up and that's...

On Photoshopping I use Photoshop for a living. (I'm the reason that Steppin' Out Fozzie's box art photo looked fine, but China is responsible for the underwhelming figure that exists in real life.) I can spot Photoshop from a mile away and that Piggy, along with Statler and Waldorf are...

"Whatever" Mr. Goelz' begings...he is the heart and soul of what the Muppets were and are. I feel the gang is safe with his continued involvement with the Muppets. Thank you Dave, you are much appreciated! :concern: :confused: :cool:

:p Ah, the days when Sesame Street was populated by more than just Elmo. And now that they've introduced Abby it seems like someone at SW wants to make a mark by focussing attention away from the main gang. :( One thing I did find inspirational was an online store was selling a chess set a...

No problem. I was likely a bit irritable that day. Don't really think you meant anything by it. It does irritate me at times that everyone has to be so PC except when it comes to gay people. Even the Seinfeld line, "Not like there's anything wrong with that..." I find offensive. Not in the...

Oooooh! A potentially exciting product. The other Muppet character ornaments just haven't done much for me. I hope these will look nice! :) And Scooter! How cool is that? ;)

:attitude: You know, that makes sense to me. I don't understand not liking the Muppets, but there are a few die-hard Disney enthusiasts that really have a freakish distaste for the Muppets. Don't get it, but it's definately out there in the fringes. :sleep: :boo: Plus, Disney doesn't like to...

Meh...she (abiraniriba) used such a tired expression. If there are to be any jabs I at least expect them to be clever, not cliqued. :rolleyes: Also, in the context of the post it did seem to be judgemental. There are many cliques about New York as well, but I am respectful (aside from the...

Do you know if they're going to do any Skeksis? :confused: If they made one and it kicked butt I'd consider snatching that one up.

I know you're intention is to be funny, but please tone it down. I'm not going on the church people threads and making puns because it wouldn't be respectful and appropriate. There's room for everyone at Muppet Central. ;)

I'm a fan of the film - one of my all-time favorite movies, but these sculpures are a bit different than the Dark Crystal I remember and watch several times a year. I'll pass on these, but not because I'm not a fan - just not a big fan of this product incarnation. I find the price...

I wouldn't say all TV animation is done overseas. I do get the process (from the bit of experience I've had and from professionals I've met). I just always thought the Muppets (Babies) deserved much better - especially in the era of Jim Henson. This cheapy-stuff is akin to moving the characters...

Man, that original blue dragon puppet is beautiful. The Muppets are interesting and well done, but I really dig the origial work. Some very expressive and attractive character design! :flirt: :sing:

Does anyone remember the end credits of "Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Summer Vacation"? They rolled twenty seconds or so of obvious Japanese names followed by, "Just kidding" and then rolled the real credits. I love that. I know that so much animation is completed overseas, but I guess I'm an...

Thanks. Thought it was probably something like that. ;) Spinney art! Lucky Craig. I also encourage anyone who hasn't read Spinney's Wisdom of Big Bird book to do so. I found it quite inspirational.

On the other hand. according to the title of Alda's book, he did have his dog stuffed! :concern: He he. Never can tell about a guy who'll stuff his dead dog. :sympathy: I'm expecting Alda simply said something a little dark and off-color that may not have gone a well as intended.
