I love what Ralph Bakshi (of Heavy Metal and Cool World fame) did with Mighty Mouse in the 80s, but unfortunately it was too edgy for the Saturday morning audience.

I said that show's humor has the same spirit of the Muppets. Not that they are that similar. "The spirit of Spongebob reminds me a little of the Muppets" is what I said exactly. I guess some didn't comprehend what I said, but it can be hard reading an entire post. This forum is about mutual...

I didn't think Janice should really be in that girl category because she's such a beloved band member. Maybe that's just my Muppet fan glasses, but she has such a coolness. That repaint is excellent too. :flirt:

I love Spongebob. The perfect balance of off the wall humor tempered with a little bit of sweetness. The spirit of Spongebob reminds me a little of the Muppets. Lots of fun - some bite your lip humor, but it never hurts anybody. A life affirming bunch of characters that underneath their...

Compiling a list of his characters really made me appreciate him even more. Happy Birthday Kevin. :zany:

You have to disregard series 1 in terms of the shelf warmer ratio because there were twice as many Kermits and Piggys than anyone else. You could end up saying that Kermit was the highest seller in the end because there were so darn many of them in all. Plus, you had the EB Piggy to top it off...

I ordered my Sullivan and Storyteller DVDs from Amazon last Tuesday and got them Friday morning. I'd recommend going through them. No problem.

EB has them tentatively pegged for next week - the 25th. That doesn't mean they will be out on that date, but it's a good bet they won't come out before it. Ken said it would probably take 2-3 weeks about a week ago so that would fall in line with his assumption. Although we know from past...

There are people out there that don't even like cartoons. I don't get it either. My guess is it's usually the result of being self conscious. People who are afraid of appearing immature to others so they try too hard to be as dull amd colorless a person as possible. There is a time and place for...

Nobody ever bugs me. I actually get interesting comments. One thing's certain, the Muppets always evoke a reaction and that's a good thing.

There has been much fan speculation on the place Frank Oz holds with the Muppets these days. It is unclear to us whether he is really preoccupied or is phasing out the performing side of his Henson duties. In the end, it's not very important what we think about the issue. Only one person knows...

Uncle Duke provided a two-sentence plug that was on topic. It was merely part of a post that had other information. He's not some unknown guy popping over here to hock pirated DVDs. He is a regular contributor to the forum. He did not break the rules as this moderator sees them. There is no need...

I'd say to non-fans, Kermit and Robin are the hottest figures. To mainstream fans it's Beau and Kermit and to the hardcore fan market it's Johnny and Beau. I don't agree with the assumption that Henson doesn’t favor Johnny. He was recently on the telethon; he's one of the few Muppets ever to...

Uncle Duke is very nice, valued member of the forum. He owns a small online shop and has stocked up on series 7 orders to facilitate fans that want to make sure and get all three Johnny figures. Believe it or not, there is a demand for them in certain circles and it could be madness trying to...

The figures aren't coming out any faster than they had before. They are released quarterly (four times per year). The packaging changed when the line opened up to more characters than the Muppet Show. They couldn't have kept it identical. Each wave has to be anchored by two main characters...

Doesn't one have the carrot and the other have the avacado?

Maybe it will get back to the Burtonesque feel of the original two films. I never cared for the day-glow cheesiness of the last two.

I guess. I mean, no pictures were shown. I can't talk about the imagery or specifics of the ones I contributed. Those are for a later bit, but I think it's safe to mention what he'll come with It's been mentioned all around the web already.
