    Muppet Show Kubricks

    Well it's not quite a mop and not quite a puppet...oh. You said Kubrick, LOL! They're kind of like Japanese Lego people. ;)

    New movies coming out...

    They have 25 to go and they're under the 10M per weekend mark. It's possible, but seems like a near miss. Would be cool if it happens.

    Countdown on Dateline

    My post is filled with spoiler information pertaining to the list. Lists like this come around every so often to remind us of just how brain dead television writers can be. Britney Spears beats the Simpsons. I'm not a huge fan of either, but when Britney has been succuessful for well over a...

    I really hope they make the band and Statler & Waldorf. That would be so cool! :flirt:

    Muppet Show Kubricks

    And wave 2? My guess is Animal, Rizzo, Bunsen, Rowlf, Scooter and Chef. I don't see how they can keep up the series when they blow it all in the first wave though. Hmmm.

    Figures broken in packaging

    Ken could better tell you those differences. Most mass marketed toys are hard, non flexible plastic (like the Fisher Price Muppet toys from the 70s or the recent Jack in the Box figures) or static PVC figures (like the Shleich figres of the 80s). Neither have the same flexible quality of...

    Pictures from Its a Very Merry Muppet Christmas

    Guess you missed the point. I don't particularly care either. Just find it amusing. Especially when it seemed that at one time everyone on TV was drinking a Snapple. It also demonstrates wide usage of the product (Vitamin Water) even though they don't advertise. I mainly see it in Law and Order...

    Pictures from Its a Very Merry Muppet Christmas

    Sounds weird, but guess I'm going to have to spell it out. Vitamin Water is a flavored drink brand - not unlike Gatorade (but with healtier stuff). It doesn't have the corn syrupy taste of most drinks. It has a lighter taste. It is not just water. It's been around for a couple of years. Strange...

    Figures broken in packaging

    Once again, you’re comparing hard plastic figures to soft plastic. Different animal. I see your point that some won't get it, but I'm sure Target has McFarlane toys too. There is no correcting the joint issues. They are really not that much of an issue either, but some like to fuss. Such minor...

    Stop The Sequels!!!

    I'm not a big Newman fan (ducks). I just don't like his voice or music. I'm also horrified by the new theme song for Monk. The original (without Newman) was much better. I actually feel the need to turn off the opening credits it's so bad. LOL! Anyway, to each his or her own. Hmmm. Albert...

    Oh. I don't drink that stuff. I stopped drinking Nutra Sweet 4 years ago. I feel much better. That stuff has arsenic in it! True weirdness! Vitamin Water is quite a bit better for ya but it's an either love it or hate it product. I think it tastes great, but others think it tases watered...

    The last two busts have been revealed.

    Did Fozzie still look like THIS? That is a pitiful looking Fozzie IMHO. I hope they did better. Maybe it's just the early prototype, but it looked the same in the picture. Kind of like Fozzie's cousin that they don't talk about. :o

    Stop The Sequels!!!

    Brother Bear just doesn't impress me. I keep reading articles about how people don't like traditional animation anymore. Not true. Sinbad did poorly because all the main characters look like Disney's extras. Sinbad looks so nondescript. I'd rather see Pitt do it live action. Just bad choices...

    Ooooh! Like Vitamin Water. I am so addicted to that stuff! Especially Balance flavor! :concern:

    Could you be more descriptive on the visuals of Piggy and Fozzie? Coloring, eye placement, likeness, texture...

    Stop The Sequels!!!

    The truth is that the economy hit everybody hard - including Disney. They are trying to get out of the red in the wrong way. The Mermaid cheapquel was the most offensive one to me. Haven't seen it - won't see it. The whole idea disturbs me. I might see the Return to Neverland because it looks...

    Pictures from Its a Very Merry Muppet Christmas

    I don't understand the sick statement either. Is it because she's black, because she's a woman or because she's a comedian? I actually find the notion of God having to be a humorless white man offensive. God (if you believe in God) is sexless, colorless and likely has a sense of humor. (Just...

    Cutbacks at Henson NY

    Is the licensing dept in charge of making Miss Piggy's hair yellow and Gonzo's nose blue? :concern: :mad:

    Ooooh! Very happy about that. Could you please give detailed desriptions of Piggy (especially in comparison to the early prototype posted earlier in this thread), Teeth, Animal and what you think about Fozzie close up? :mad: :D :halo: :o I'd also like to hear about Harry, Beau and other...

    Figures broken in packaging

    I think this is a case of a non-collector perspective. I felt the same way in series one, but have been informed since then that action figure industry leader McFarlane has the same issues. It's not about quality, company size or clout. It's about soft plastics and the manufacturing process. All...
