Ken- I have been trying to email you for the past couple days. Is there sitll a problem with the Palisades address and if so is there another one I can send mail to?

Max Goof I think that part of the comparison has to do with the quality of the figures, not necessarily the market for them and these are in a more limited release so I think they will be worth more on ebay a year from now (hope I've got them all by then).:) Instead of saying that this will...

I like the dancing cheese idea - didn't they have some dancing cheeses on the original Muppet Show (though they didn't interact with Rizzo I don't think). I'm thinking that they will have him with a pizza box. That wouldn't bother me. Since he will have a modern look do you think a headset...

Thanx for the clip. I will send you an email.

Thanx Ben All that is needed to voice a character is a way to clearly record your voice in a quiet room and submit it as a wav file (possibly an MP3) and email it to me. Auditions are open, but it will take some months for me to finish the art. Not many voices will be used in the first...

It's been a long time since I've seen a live puppet performance. It really inspired me to make a puppet myself - that is after I finish my site work and portfolio ;) That should be a while!

What a hard question. Well I am waiting for my Exclusive Piggy to be deliverred so she could end up being the fave, but I think I'll have to go with Kermit. He just looks so right and I personally love the camera. I was also surprised about the color - it's dead on with the classic Kermit IMHO...

This meeting was even better! David Alan Barclay from Jim Henson's Creature Shop gave a talk about his work creating Mr. Tinkles for Cats & Dogs and other amazing stuff! I didn't realize he also worked on Roger Rabbit and Little Shop - and I call myself a fan. Eeeeeek! It was all very...

Tweak used to be named "Poopie the Skunk" a decade ago. He was based on an old friend of mine who used to have a pet rat with that name. I think Tweak better fits his personality though. All of these characters are influenced by friends and pop culture. Many of the characters have received new...

Hmmm. Thanx, I'll try that. The new Kermit I got stands just fine. I got the other one while I was shopping last Saturday because I just couldn't wait for the figures to come in the mail. These totally kick butt!

Piggy Troubles Okay, now I am having trouble with the regular assortment Miss Piggy. Diva that she is, the pig just won't stand on her own! Any ideas? I just got the assortment in the mail today - the Exclusive pig will be coming later today I hope.

I don't mind these characters being cheated-out a bit with size. They were cheated out when performed on the Muppet Show in the first place. The Muppet character come up to Sweetums' waist in medium shots, but in a wide shot they would surely come up a little past his knee cap. The same with...

Upon more examination I noticed that they have removed the "Never before seen footage" claim on the back, but the layout is virtually identical other than that. I'm guessing the trailers will be for other Muppets Columbia Tristar DVDs - it would make sense. The menu is also missing the volume 2...

Warrick- The handle for the camera is jointed (you can tell on the side). It does move up and down, but only the handle part - the camera itself doesn't tilt. The camera also swivels left and right. I'm sure you figured that part. The lowdown on Kermit's feet - his legs can spin 360 degrees...

Luke To be honest, the commentary is great but it didn't seem as thought out as in other DVDs so this could be the reason that Whitmire, Goelz etc didn't appear on the track along with Brian. The MTI featurette is not really new. It appears to be a mixtrue of previous bits from the Disney...

I hear that MCC was shot in a different aspect ratio that would make cropping less distractng, though I hope it's still widescreen (unlikely). If I remember corectly there was a featurette for that too. I bet it will be close to the MTI disc.

I figured it out - my Kermit works now! I am not used to these high-articulated action figures and didn't know that his legs needed to be cracked in place. They had some mobility, but not much. After I figured out the camera's handle could be cracked into place I figred out Kermit's legs. I was...

I stand corrected on Dreamworks. I guess it just got bounced around so much it started to have a ring to it. The Muppet Treasure Island DVD is definitely worth buying IMHO. The addition of the extra bits was really a shock. Could this be Disney playing nice? That is something that is a topic...

Daniel I can understand what you are saying but I still think that the Muppets will likely go to a big company with a large stock of characters if not Disney. They really are the biggest candidate even if many fans don't. It is incredibly unlikely that some sort of company as you have...

Warrick- I'm glad that these seem to be simple re-lableled copies. I would have liked a season-by-season set, but it's important that Columbia/Tristar and Henson don't burn the fans who purchased the Time Life volumes. I assume only the replacements of distributer's logos will change. The meus...
