Yeah it's not boding well for Disney to be so silent. I doubt Goelz is going anywhere, I heard during the Muppet auditions a few years back hardly anyone was able to truly slip into Gonzo from a vocal or quirk standpoint. In my view the Whitmire/Goelz dynamic and chemistry no matter what...

Correct. The 2002-2004 period(EMTV/JHC ownership, pre Disney Feb 2004 buyout) was by far THE biggest Muppet merchandise saturation since the early to mid 1980's. By far. Everywhere I went, Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Bear in the Big Blue House. It was nuts. We also had the really good(IMHO)...

I also wanted to add: Hypothetically, if for whatever reason(Steves decision or not) Kermit will no longer be performed by Whitmire(which I agree with all of you, IS Kermit) ... What will the implications mean to you? Many of us were not happy that Disney bought the Muppets. Now, 5 and a...

Well, who here can argue that 1990-1991 Steve Whitmire as Kermit wasnt a bit rough at first? I'm aware of a number of rather unfortunate backroom politics (usually regarding Sesame Street) and egos that would make most fans wince. And I feel people should NOT be shocked if Steve...

Good to see the Muppets given the all-out treatment over the weekend! Not much of the news blew me away however, as much as the presentation looked cool...and a meet and greet with actual muppets/performers=the win. Wish I could have made it as planned(tho I might have been bored the rest of...

That so rocks your work got to be celebrated like that! I definitely dig your art style, both on the Muppet and Pixar front. I was planning on making it down for D23 as well as Disneyland with family but financial and work things put the kaibosh on that. Just good seeing a fellow comic...

Good question! Most of it is in mint/near mint/good condition, as I had replaced worn items with more mint/new versions. Im broke, out of a job...and dont know how I'll have room for all this stuff if I move so I dunno...Im thinking of selling off a lot of it. I have...

A bit over the top yes, but how does one explain this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=8266354

Holy thread revival Batman:) hehe. Well...my family and I have been collecting Muppet stuff since 1981, and ebay has been my friend since 1997....soo....I'm sure you can do the math. A part of me wants to have a giant sale though, I just got way too much stuff.

That my friend is a seriously good point. Yeah I mean you see these documentaries, and Ganz and company are having SW reps go out and train people in really devastated war torn and disease/poverty/chaos wracked countries. Risking even their lives to provide this sort of great hope for a new...

Ack, sadly I just won't be able to afford going to this nor Disneyland. Woulda been so perfect. Oh well. Perhaps a bunch of us can go to Disneyland next year if they have some big Muppety event. Im sure people will be filming it tho. As far as what will be announced? Most likely news on...

Oh my goodness, I almost spit my soda out of my nose. My gosh you are visionary! I remember in one of those military specials Rosita's dad comes home injured. I mean how messed up is that? It's bad enough hispanic Americans are treated like garbage, but hey they too can be sent away to go...

The Muppets are owned by Disney now. Thank goodness I say.

Ugh. I freaking hate this occult-ification of pop culture. Does everything sweet and innocent have to be sullied by this Satanic crap? I wish that show could be taken off the air, its bad enough we have so much esoteric/occult themes being programmed into children's minds in popular culture...

Thanks for posting that! Also, here's the video segment on the new Palestinian Sesame Street(I LOVE those two Muppet characters in there!) http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/08/13/generation.islam.gaza.muppets/index.html#cnnSTCVideo There's been two full length documentaries on...

Let me preface this by saying Kevin Clash's craft is absolutely astonishing, and I'm glad I got to meet him. But I'm just going to say what I'm sure many of you already feel. And that's that "Elmo" is a worthless, valueless, distracting character who I know at least with me evokes a sickening...

Indeed. Well I'll be literally across the street all weekend, so Im thinking of going. Anyone else wanna meet up? I don't think I could miss this for anything.

Just saw that too. And the funny thing is, Im going to Disneyland the day before with family. How much are tickets to this thing?

Here's what the Muppet vinyl figures SHOULD look like (individually sculpted heads like the new Futurama line) http://www.kidrobot.com/products2.cfm/ID/7770/name/futurama-series#

That sounds amazing. Perhaps if we start seeing 3 3/4" - 4" Muppet action figures(instead of the 6" palisades size) we could get something like that. I know I'd buy one. They came out with a super cool Bear in the Big Blue House playset like this! (that opened into 3 sections)
