Couldn't say it better myself. I am not elated at the prospect of Disney owning Henson. To be honest, I didn't much like the idea when Jim Henson was behind it. But it is clear that Henson is a creative company and not one with a savvy marketing department. They need someone else to do that and...

I vote for pepe too. Hey - why didn't you mention Rowlf the Dog, Zack. Traitor. LOL! :sympathy: Just kiddin ya, Welcome aboard, AVP! :)

Animation at Disney Just to clear up the "rumblings" they come from animators I have met through school (and other areas) that know people leaving the company. But such dooms day rumblings have been going on since computer animation began. What I really think will change is Disney will...

The mini Fraggles are for use with the Gorgs because they could never be made to scale. The minis would probably be unarticulated. I don't know how to spell Merkie. I just included him because the Merggles were getting big when the show ended. I'm really not aware of them, but have heard a...

The character list for the Muppets is promising start; I don't think it's crummy. It works for a corporate site. It seems they are trying to improve the site. The rest of it, well... it doesn't seem that they have a serious team working on it or somehow the money train stopped for their...

My Fraggle Rock lineup list This is the sort of pacing that Palisades seems to follow. I don't see more than 4 waves and playsets, but here goes. I've only seen less than 20 episodes and some compilations (didn't have cable growing up) so my knowlege is not that great, but I love them just the...

Sweetums really doesn't need to come with anything. He's big enough, but I would like to see a club. I wonder if Henson will think that it's too Frog Prince to use for a TMS line. LOL! You never know. I can see Robin seperately carded - maybe with a penguin or a frackle. Or maybe he can come...

Sarah- What exactly are you fighting with the pop up window? They still have some broken links. Scott- I was being a bit facetious in my kudos. I don't think the Henson.com issue is Flash or a JavaScript window - it's the lack of content, active updates, broken links and general...

BoyRaisin2 - It seems that Disney are dissolving the traditional film animation division. This has been discussed for a few years now, but we'll see. If Lilo wins the Oscar they might whistle a different tune...er toon. I hope it isn't true, but those are the reports I've been hearing from...

Thanks. I have postponed my comic until there is more time to dedicate to the project. I also brought in another writer. There are some changes I'm making to it. I expect to have it out later this year. :)

With Disney's dissolving their traditional animation division, an independently run Creature Shop might be a good idea. Well, as long as they can get investors and funding. I wouldn't want to see Disney dissolve the Creature Shop a few years later. I just don't see why they wouldn't want the...

After months of neglect, the artists at Henson are back at work. What's changed? Well, not much, but they seem to be integrating a new font and breaking up that toxic green color with some subtle shades. The one part I really like is the character section. They have only started the Muppet...

Not much of an Al fan. I have heard a couple of newer songs. A kid at school played it for me a couple of years ago. I just thought he was very underground. I didn't realize he has a continuing career - or that he ever had a show. I remember that UHF movie. That's the last big project I remember...

There was a Weird Al show? No wonder the younger crowd likes him so much. I thought he disappeared after 1987. :eek:

I admit to watching Idol. I was hooked half way through last season and have been fairly faithful so far. I think it's funny that people find Simon so mean. Sure, he plays it up for the camera, but that's how auditions are. It isn't the right industry for the thin-skinned. Paula's job is to...

Animal has always had a connected eyebrow, but probably much more curved than the Germany plush. From what I've seen there's a definite Bert factor. :(

Bottom line is - unless the Muppet Show line drums up more business, I can't see Palisades investing in any other Muppet-type properties. It would be cool. :)

They could do a solid year's worth of figures with at least 3 playsets. Doc's house. Doozer contruction in a Fraggle cave and the Gorg's garden with the Trash Heap. They could make them all lock together. And there are certainly 16 characters to carry a year's worth of figures. Once Henson...

Aren’t Muppets always impaled on something? Seems more natural to me than a Mickey or a Bart. :p Maybe they should make them hugging the antenna. ;)

Oh, they are a good resource for other information, but haven't updated the figure lineup since last fall (that is stated at the top of the article). Although it doesn't state that the figures aren't out yet. I'd look to Palisades' site or the chart that we publish here at Muppet Central for...
