To confuse things even more, lol, are you sure Esdevium aquired PopCo, and isn't just sharing what was known as "Cards Inc" with Corgi International? As i just found this dated May 20th from an industry website -...

It hasn't been changed on the main site yet, its been announced in their forum by customer services, though it seems nobody there noticed the number is for PopCo.

Master Replicas have changed their contact/customer service numbers to Popco

I had a quick search around and it seems Cards Inc is going to be operating jointly under both the Esdevium name (for trading cards, stickers) and the Popco name (for pop culture items). It seems Master Replicas are now being handled by this PopCo, which on looking at it again is/was a division...

Well from what i now gather it seems Popco Distribution is now handling Master Replicas customer service and sales, so it looks very much like they have bought Master Replicas along with Cards Inc, and that Hornby only aquired the modelling side of Corgi. I'm not sure what this means for the...

Fozzie is no longer listed at Amazon via this link - not sure why, maybe it was a marketplace seller that had it listed. I agree with the others here, it would be nice to get an update that Fozzie is happening before any pre-order activity.

Anythings possible, either one or the other or both. Piggy did get a whole heap of publicity and i'd expect the same again what with Disney's clout. We'll have to find out when and have a Muppet fan stakeout at some studios or something! :o

My money would be on Gonzo, what with Animals limited vocal ability in interviews. Though he could eat the DVD boxes and chase the interviewees.

Ouch, i paid double that too though at least it did ensure it was a nice quality one - Collectors Zone being part of Master Replicas probably gets their stock direct so i guess that would explain anything returned going back into the pool of stock available to other stores - it is spooky tho...

Two years isnt uncommon, it's about average. Brooklyn - i pitch quite a lot, and for similar stuff. Aside your pitch book, when you are at the meetings the tip i would give is to make it as visual as possible, whether thats bringing out storyboards, characters, concept art etc. Keep any...

I've been out of the loop for a while - i thought MR was kinda grouped with Cards Inc when it was sold to Corgi so i hope all is well going onwards after the Hornby sale. I'm also anxiously waiting to buy Fozzie - i have no pre-conceptions about how the line is doing, whats coming after etc...

Brilliant steve, i think thats the first time Frank has done anything Muppetwise for ages and he did so on your fan podcast which is tremendous - it's obvious to see that all Henson related people have seen the work going into these shows and the professional quality and decided to join in. You...

Luvin Fozzie doing interviews, the Kermit/Foz magic is definitely still there!

The server was down last night, these things happen now and again with most websites. Once whatever is causing this up/downtime is fixed it's usually all ok for the longterm. Now which way for the complimentary Muffin basket? lol

I didnt see this before but a belated Happy Birthday to Jackie. Muffin Baskets for all!

That's it, i'm putting TotallySpiesFan on ignore for that!

Jim, am continuing to love all the Muppets.com stuff, some questions for you - When the Muppets appear as guests on shows, is it the performers adlibbing completely or do the writers have any involvement either with suggesting answers or being involved with an overview of how things will go...

Well said that man! Yea i loved the videos - i think any of the main guys, Steve, Bill, Dave, Eric work well together as a group, these Muppets need to go out more, the people LOVE em! I hope the new project is a new Muppet Show, the new Muppets.com is kinda like a mini version of it and a...

Yes exactly, its that the kids have been conditioned into it over time for business purposes. But you can't just put something else in front of them totally different because there isnt a company around in these recession type times that will take a risk on anything too far from the norm. And...

Sure i know that, and you know it, but these TV execs often just go on focus groups and company wide strategies and targets without understanding the actual brand they're dealing with at all. I agree that this "updating" of retro shows hasn't always worked out but there have been some positive...
