Well it's better than nothing...
I guess we've all been used to Muppets and performers doing skits and q & a's at comic con and all sorts of Muppety/Henson related goodness(Like Red Fraggle making her first appearence in almost two decades last year)
Ooh for real? I wonder if they are just the 2003 Sababa ones.
Any word on who was giving these out?
Aw ok, I see Boom Comics had a presence there. Very cool.
However, was anything Henson, or other Muppet stuff represented?
Muppetnewsflash has been incognito and its hard to keep up with all the comic con reports.
Just wondering if there is any Muppet/Henson related merchandise, news, etc from Comic Con?(Muppets, Fraggle Rock, Henson alternative, anything?) I know last year Karen Prell with Red Fraggle had a...
I couldnt agree more. For my, and everyone else dogging the sell to Disney and the subsequent few years since...for the last couple years Ive had a real since that beginning in 2010(the 55 anniversary) we would begin to see a very large and tangible resurgence of the Muppets. Not just nostaglia...
What?
I want the Muppets to be around forever. For my children, my children's children, and their children's children.
The Muppets have been around since 1955, for 54 years now; and I see a very large resurgence ahead. Why would you want to see that derailed?
Also, there's continually...
I know Ive been saying it for a decade on here...but doesnt it seem like the Muppets are by and large(least in the US)...kind of underground? I dont exactly see too many hardcore Muppet fans outside of this little website. I almost feel like anything Muppet produced is more a courtesy to an...
1. There's very little to be excited with in regards to Ice Age movies. I remember being talked into seeing the original 2002 film, and being bored to tears. Not very modern cg, mostly white background, boring story. There's been such a massive glut of kids cg talking animal films in the last...
Honestly, I have never ever come across any Muppet fan in real life or online outside of this site or at Muppetfest. Ive had people say "oh hey, cool Beaker shirt" or "right on man, cool Muppet shirt"...or just in random conversations "oh yeah, I loved those guys...who were the two old guys...
These Muppets.com sketches prove that the writing and magic is not only still there, but they would not need too much to have a weekly 22 minute new Muppet show. I am continually amazed at how inventive and fun a large bulk of these skits are. And they are barely even trying, another good sign...
I think the real reason MFS royally bombed is because Muppets are underground, and its been that way since the 90's. Muppet fans seem more underground and niche than even say Firefly or Henson's own Farscape brand in some respects(certainly in an online presence)
Another big reason is...
For some reason, movies made between 1999(Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Matrix, etc) and ever since look like they could have been filmed last year.
Whereas 50's, 60's, 70's, early to mid 80's, late 80's, early 90's, and mid 90's films ALL have an extremely specific and distinct time...
This is an absolute must have. While only about 47 minutes total, the special had the cinematography of an actual film with that rich movie look. It felt more like a movie given the cinematography.
One of the best things about a lot of Muppet dvds are the extras. I cant stand Kermit Swamp...
What we REALLY need, what would be the most cost effective, the most popular, and would be able to cover the most amount of characters would be Muppet action figures in the 3.5-4" range

Between 1990 and 1994 I took a long break from anything Muppet/JH related. But by late 1995, I had once again became a rabid Muppet fan. By 1998 I had once again became an obsessed Muppet fan as I had been throughout the early til late 1980's growing up.
However, between 1995 and 2002 there...
Oh yes they do. Their figures are all put out by Hasbro. So Hasbro releases Marvel, Indy Jones, Gi Joe and Transformers all in the same
"mini squad" 2" figure style two-packs, as well as all the identical "Mighty Muggs". The actual Transformers, Indiana Jones, GI Joe, etc figures are all...
Oh no doubt, Mcfarlane figures have such a limited posability that they seem like statues. I meant in regards to Palisades Muppet line, that the intense level of detail and size made them seem statue like. This could also stem from the fact I normally just collect 2 to 4 inch figures.
The...
That be the skit! (Tho I also love bee costume Scred) The Scred/Tomlin duet is one of my favorite song pieces from the 70's Muppets era.
I also wanted to say how great its been to see you whenever possible over the last few years continue to perform The Count.
To this day I still see Count...
