Statler and Waldorf have no signature performers, and are always changing...so I have no problem with that. But...that wasn't Bill Baretta? Seemed like the Pepe we've known for 9 years to me.
Now pepe is 100% signature to bill Baretta...if Disney somehow got someone to do this amazing...
Oooh, I like this. Seeing stuff like this gives me a glimmer of hope.
Let's see, in this clip we have; we got stark sexual inuendo, swearing,
messed up humor, oh yeah!
See, this is how I like seeing the muppets in the modern era...good to see they can escape the oppressive sterility of...
Yeah Palisades has definately scored big. Now I know, there's a lot of Muppet fans that cant stand Sesame...but to me Sesame is a part of Muppet canon as Fraggle Rock.
To Craig Crane:
Thanks so much for posting, rarely do we get an indepth personal puppeteer's view. I am so sorry you never got to work on that Muppet film and get a career with JHC. That truly sucks.
I think it's denial on the part of fans, but truly the dream has crumbled. And it isnt...
These had to be the coolest Toy Fair pix next to Zim...I mena Palisades: Muppets, Sesame, Invader Zim...does it get any better? Well yes, if they could release that Gobo figure they made...but!
Wow, so cool. Love the diorama thing. Tho Ernie man, whats up with him? He needs to be shorter and...
Well the penguin is also a 125% enlarged prototype. And did ya guys see the Sesame pix? To me the Muppet line is technically continuing with that line.
I think the penguin will now come with Uncle Deadly.
It's 2005...so, any Dark Crystal figures yet?
Since 1998 on here we've been wondering when the Dark Crystal figures are coming out.
Checked out the recent Toy Fare pix...if only these were an action figure:

In hindsight a lot of us, me included, complained about the EMTV(empty-v? mtv?) buyout because it led to the muppets being owned by foreign subsidiaries and Sesame Street being split from JHC. From $680 to a $60 million bargain on ebay, and now Kermit's wearing Mickey ears for better or worse. I...
It strikes me that noone has a true vision over at Disney for the Muppets. Again look at that Jim Hill article, not the bastion of be all end all truth, but he makes a good point. Disney's Muppets are destined for mediocrity. Does this Chris Curtain guy even know where the Muppets should be at...
Aw, it has been one year later. Some may say it was the day JHC sold out to a sinking ship Eisner and the day our collective Muppet dreams of rebirth were squahshed, some may say it was the beginning of a new era. I myself am not feeling any butterflies or joy or anything at the moment Muppet...
Again, people need more to do with their time then write this tripe. Remember the whole Bert and Ernie thing?
Besides, there are only two out of the closet gay cartoon characters, and that's Simpson's Smithers and Snagglepus("exit stage left!") :)
Thank you so much for posting these! As some of you may know, Sesame has had the kind of collector following in Japan we could only wish for here.
Sadly this doesnt spill over for Muppetdom, but at least Sesame is popular there.
Anyways, I had been totally wanting to see what this film looks...
this has to be the best post on the subject. Chris Curtain, JHC...ya listening?
Thanks for raping and pillaging the legacy of what had been set forth. For most of us all we can do is watch this train wreck of the 'modern' Disney Muppet era and shake our heads.
Then again, this new...
As fans weve had a history of nitpicking, this is true.
One can look at 2005 this way. It's the end of the Muppets line, and the continuation of that other Muppets line, Sesame Street. You all remember Sesame Street right? I believe now and forever SS will always be here to show the Muppets...
Don't say that Luke...we dont know that for sure:)
For those that belong to the Palisades club, nice pix of the penguin action fiugure were already shown awhile ago.
And I'm still curious as to whether the Electric Mayhem pvcs will come out.
Like Phil, I'm really hoping that Sal/penguin...
"lame-a-zoid" would be an improvement...Oz looks like total...well since this is a family site, frelling dreck.
Anyways, as Dr Tooth pointed out wasnt these going to not be a 'series 10' but scattered net and con exclusives? what gives?
Well I read that wrong *whew* I thought it would be random people auditioning the Muppets themselves...I ONLY WANT steve, dave, kevin, bill, jerry, john, etc puppeteering our beloved Muppets(anyone remember the disaster when they let audience members audition Fozzie at Muppetfest?)
Ok...this...
