Oh yeah, the Muppet characters age gracefully, heh. Honestly, from the Frawley test...heck back to the first episode of TMS...Kermit really hasnt changed much at all. He went through several major changes if you go back to sam n friends, sesame street early episodes, etc. Even fozzie didnt...
fox show, nascar
Hey frogboy, youre right! Those NAscars do have a 25th annv logo. ITs really awesome they have a Pepe, and Beaker.
The reason I brought up the Pepe figure thing again, was in light of Ken's news that Henson really wanted one done. While I can see the argument of waiting til...
>>>he's slap a Velcro cut-out of a 'C' on their their chest and yell 'THERE YA GO!" and laugh maniacally<<<
LOL! Harvey Kneeslapper! He belongs in the Muppet hall of shame with Mr. Poodlepants and Bill Bubbles. Btw, HArvey wasnt the only ill begotten Sesame denizen...remember the contraband...
Well Muppet gang, as promised...(and since we havent seen new Muppet film parodies from JHC in ages) Ive decided to create my own over the last year.
Here they are!

>>>I think it is about time they released the Video or DVD of MuppetFest, Whats taking them so long ?!<<<

Hey link!
Ok, I'm gonna have to post about the Frawley test if someone posts a Muppet movie idea thread. Even my mom commented on how fresh and edgy that screen test were. I mean when Kermit and Fozzie are just ad libbing it, and Sweetums...and the car scene, WOW! Gosh, I wish they could go...
>>>I'm just saying, as I remember it, the poll was close and the posts indicated that people felt torn<<<
If Ken and company made Palisades figures exclusively for the 200+ people on here, then I think the argument would be valid. But the fact is this line is getting a huge...
I think none of the on the street or Muppet sketches were at all...BUT oh my...a lot of those 69-80's era experimental shorts from Sesame were very unnerving. If youve seen JH's Time Piece, a lot of that bizarre Jan Svankmjer/David Lynch/Darren Aronofsky/Harmony Korine
experimental dada type...
Is it me or does Piggy look a bit grotesque in that muppet movie dvd Jim Frawley screen test? Was this some early prototype Piggy used, as I sure don't remember her looking that wretched in early TMS episodes. Im glad Palisades chose a more modern Piggy sculpt, as the one used int he Frawley...
well, I broke down and bought one of those new sony wonder sesame dvds(it was only $10) Now the only Sesame dvds I will admit to owning are Follow that bird and elmopalooza(which I think is darn cool)
But I bought the new 'Computer Caper' last night, which is bascially a whole hour of a...
Wow, I remember when this was called Tiny Tunes(back in that wretched period of the early 90's) They musta gone back to the drawing board to shake a few loose chromozones.
Then again, this treatment was given to Sesame Street. IF you noticed, until this week, the only JHC related merch at...
pepe figure(from lilly)
>>>Actually want to know the truth? It was the fine folks at Henson that ASKED me to do that original poll cause they were just gonna waive the fact that he was a movie character and let us do him anyway. They just wanted to see what true fan reaction might be. SO I had...
the good stuff doth cometh
I cant believe how many figures are slated between now and a year from now! Over 30 different characters and variants, wow.
I had no idea what was in store/half confirmed beyond series 2, so jamie's list and phil's list was great to read. And wow, were in store for...
phil:
>>>And you wonder why people think the Muppets and Sesame Street are the same thing...<<<
Well, of course its all the same canon/lexicon/universe.
We know that, weve seen Sesame characters intergrated flawlessly with 'Muppet Show' characters(ie: Muppetfest, Muppet Family Christmas...
disney pros and cons
disney pros:
best darn looking new edgy 2d/2.5d animated features
and 3d features. (who are the competition kidding...spirit, shrek, ice age, blechh!) disney has dug themselves out of that horrific cliched bad animation hole from the 90's(ie: the stale save the princess...
>>>Interesting they would put Muppets From Space and Elmo In Grouchland in the same package<<<
Yeah, it seems outside of the US they do this. I believe in 1999 (or early 2000) MFS and EIG were actually played back to back as a double feature in Japanese theatres...
frogboy:
>>>Ken has confirmed waves 1-5<<<
where??? is there a website with this info?
also, anyone know when the beaker playset comes out?

Questions for Ken
Hey Ken!
I think youre going to be soon swamped with hefty reorder calls soon^_^ Anyways, some might throw rubber chickens at me for the following questions, but I sear I looked and couldnt find if these had been answered. Ok
1. It's so great to hear small scale guys...
I just have to laugh...here's some quotes from those idiots at ign.com, in their review of Muppet Pinball Mayhem:
"the Muppets license isn't the most timely of brands, so don't expect Midway or Data East or any other pinball manufacturer to be building these suckers for your arcade..."
and...
>>>It's a feature film about Bear and Tutter's adventures after they accidently take the Division Rd exit off the Kennedy Expressway and end up in Cabrini Green. It's called "Bear in the Big Blue Projects<<<
OH MAN! LOL!!! I love obscure references...that reference reminded me of this comedy...
