It would be them holding back on Piggy to see how both Animal AND Gonzo replicas sold. It doesn't mean much they're making the prototypes of Fozzie and Piggy, thats pocket money to Master Replicas. The decision on Animal would have been made before they had Kermits full sales in which explains...

I cannot wait for Fozzie, that proto is beeeeeautiful, i hope so much they manage to keep it EXACTLY like that in the actual replica, and the price doesn't bother me, i want an identical replica and am prepared to pay what it takes for them to do that. Anything else would be an injustice to da...

Yay! My copy of the comic shipped today, can't wait to see how it turns out. I thought the sample pages on the site were really funny.

I'd agree, although it may have been ok'd by whoever their qc person in china was, so it may not have made it over the seas, but obviously photos would have. They may not want to show factory photos, as they won't have been posed or lit for sales purposes but it would have been nice, and...

I was thinking maybe it should be a DVD or CDR which can be played in either a DVD player (so you could have menus) or a CD player that can play MP3's. That's about the only way you can get so many shows on it. Whatever happens i'll definitely be ordering a copy.

Yes they have been known to fans as "the main 5" since the TMS days and all licensing usually centers around them first and foremost. For a time characters like Beaker, Chef and Rizzo seemed to get included quite often but they do seem to have gone back to just the main 5 again lately.

I know Zappa submitted a draft last year but his schedule has been pretty busy since, and it was said a few months back Henson had a draft they were going forward with. Not sure if thats the same draft or if its still his "baby" as nothings been mentioned.

It's only direct to dvd Pig material though, i doubt it'd be as easy for them to get stuff out as fast theatrically, and its good name voice talent but not a-list. I'm not knocking it but its no Shrek. I have to say its very encouraging the other companies involved co-producing with Henson...

wow -that all sounds so .......... complicated. I would be totally lost, lol.

True, but in TV it's generally the way things are done now, right or wrong. It was all so simple back in the 70's, you just worried about ratings. Now you can't make a show without all the branding, merchandise, sponsorship, advertising. With them trying to specifically target kids again, its...

Each week during the song, the puppets would usually wear something costume wise that related to the song, the artist or the video. So for the 1980's song in the first episode, Fozzie was wearing a Rubiks cube because the video to that song has all the band dancing inside a Rubiks cube. So in...

I think you are probably right. It may also be that some of the master puppets our main Muppeteers are using may still be pre-Diz JHC built ones. Only the Piggy that Eric seems to be using is reminiscent of the "Muppets TV" clones, unless as you say they just had a hard time with that character.

I think you've answered your own question there really Greg. Yeah all that, and name a single project thats looking to be majorly succesful or high profile. Henson's used to have a lot more recognition in the business and when they made something you could be guaranteed everyone would know...

Name some guest stars who EVERY type of demograph would want to watch. It's very hard. The best thing is to book for the younger demograph but try and make sure they are all still fairly appropriate for a family audience too. It's just not the 70's anymore, back then you had big stars who...

Well the Kermit review says that Master Replicas now recieve patterns, swatches and notes from Puppet Heap so the way Animal turned out i guess they gave Master Replicas the plans they use themselves for Animal right now and he has turned out a great replica, actually extremely accurate when you...

I would have definitely gone with Portman - the film would have had a whole different feel with her. Only gotta look at Magorium to see she can work well in that style. I think if it was purely Henson and they had the budget they would have wanted her but it was probably Disney that opted to...

About the collar/chains - the puppet has been seen recently with the chain. In "Muppet TV", the show made in France. Here is a pic - http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Image:TF1-MuppetsTV-PhotoGallery-44-Animal.jpg You will notice that this Animal, and the one in the Muppets.com Wallpapers all...

I remember Yi-Ar-Kung Fu, we used to play it at a games room inside our local swimming pool. Also Double Dragon, WWF Superstars, Final Round and Narc a bit later at our local pizza shop. I have a little arcade console that plays 128 games in 1 and have found a lot of the classics from that.

I agree that the mouth error in production and the eye rim issue should (in my own opinion) have meant a whole star deducted, but it is the reviewers personal opinion, and there was quite a strong paragraph about that issue so star or no star it was well noted. It kinda read to me like if they...

Maybe it's possible for MC to filter the marketplace products out of the banner - i have no idea. It seemed like only the amazon distributed products were displayed when the banner was first introduced, but i could be mistaken.
