I don't collect Muppet stuff per say but there is one Muppet item I really want and have wanted since I was five years old. The Fisher Price Rowlf puppet. That was the first toy I remember desperately wanting. My mom searched all over creation for it as did my grandfather several states over...

There's a general rule of thumb for me regarding things like this. If the heroes are human and the villains are non human ( monsters, robots, etc. ) I usually prefer the villains. If Both sides are non human I usually go for the heroes ( I prefer the Autobots to the Decepticons ). Ever since I...

I've gone to Build A Bear a couple times in the past few years. I wouldn't really do it these days but that's more because I don't like stuffed animals anymore than it is that I'm ashamed to go. A Rowlf might tempt me though as would the Snoopy had I known about it. I'm kind of upset I'm just...

I've had pets my whole life and so I've experienced the deaths of pets many many times. The first was Dingo, a german shepherd. I was five. I was sitting in my room watching the muppets when my mom came in after taking him to the vet and told me that the vet couldn't help him and he had to be...

I still think Underdog didn't start out as an Underdog movie. I think they got ahold of a script involving a generic dog gaining superpowers and cut and pasted the names of a few Underdog characters in and filmed it. I enjoyed the Underdog movie because I've yet to see a talking dog movie I...

You aren't alone. I have dealt with anxiety and depression since the early 90s and recently I found out I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as well. There is always a feeling of fear and worry gnawing at the back of my brain even during those rare times when I'm happy. Anything can set me off...

I'm a mix of Boober and Walter. Like Boober I am often worried, pessimistic, anxious or just plain depressed. Like Walter I can be very enthusiastic and obsessive about certain things.

I wanted a Rugby Tiger too when I was a kid. I did the same thing. Got a regular stuffed tiger and named it Rugby. I'm not sure if any official ones were ever made though.

Who do I have to kill to get a decent Rowlf shirt?

Back in the late 90's and early 2000's I had every animatronic toy in existence. Every one that is except the Wuv Luvs. I was fully aware of it's existance at the time and was a member of several internet communities revolving around robotic pets. Wuv Luvs weren't popular on those communities...

I'm disabled. When I was 14 I wanted to be a dog artist, by which I mean I wanted to create dog characters and bring them to life in a variety of mediums. Comics, animation, Puppetry, animatronics you name it. I still haven't given up hope of someday being able to do that. I'd also like to...

I remember being really engrossed in an episode once to the point where I was tuning out everything else. My dad tossed one of my boglins at me to get my attention and it startled me to the point that I jumped a foot in the air.

There may be some sort of magical masquerade going on. Some, maybe those more in touch with things like imagination and magic see Matt for what he really is while others who aren't in touch just see a wierd short human. Either way the Fraggles have us pegged. I can't think of a better term than...

Pretty good idea, though I'm not quite sure how it'd be done. You'd have to have his arms move which might drive the cost up a bit. Probably not a whole lot though as there was at least one FurReal robot dog with front legs that moved and it didn't run more than $60. Plus that Elmo Live thing...

A fully animatronic and interactive Rowlf. Jam packed with sensors. Touch sensors, light sensors, sound sensors, motion detectors, the whole nine yards. It would be able to respond when you spoke to it and would have special responses for several key phrases. The motion sensors would allow it to...

I saw this for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was the first Muppet production I'd seen in years ( The last was AVMMC ). I enjoyed it fairly well. Claire's mom may have been a human supremicist at first but like any human with a soul she seemed to warm up to the muppets as she got to know...

For me personally The Muppet Movie will never be topped.

I know it did well all things considered but I was really hoping it'd crack the hundred million mark.

Rowlf is my favorite muppet.

Exactly. I think the only reason I'm hanging on now is because of my dogs. If I lost them suicide would start looking like a pretty good option. I don't think I could function without a dog. That's why I love that they have robotic pets now. It doesn't matter where you are. You can have a robot...
