On the connection speed thing, ever since the station was upgraded it breaks up continually on a 56k dial up over here. I think the better quality was a good step though as the majority are in the states. I can understand about Mister Rogers. I agree he isn't really Muppet related but if...

LOL ... should be easy to get in there now - forget the camera, take a tape measure instead and start sizing the place up with a critical eye ! :halo:

Great to hear Zack. BTW did you know Raccoons are out on DVD in Canada ? Wheeee !

Exactly Frogboy, if it was the right decision to preserve it and turn it into a museum able to sustain itself financially while being large enough and safe enough for the public to go through in large numbers we can be pretty sure Henson would have done this. If even they want to sell it, there...

Well, y'know, peoples is peoples .... :rolleyes:

I thought you were joking - lol - i'm not sure what controversey it would create. If it looks exactly like the puppet design and the term 'Muppet' is used in ANY form I would imagine Henson will end the auction. You'll notice Terry Angus doesn't use the term 'Muppet' or 'Muppet-Like' at all...

You can listen to MC Radio while browsing the forums - it's a pop up window. Midi's embedded in the forum script would indeed be erm ...'cheesy'.

Erm, most likely "Do you take Paypal ?" :o BTW anything 'puppet' looking like a Henson character sold using the term "Muppet" and the Henson dudes step in. Imagine a visit from Sal's tougher older brother and Pepe's italian cousin 'Don PeePee'. Whatever you made from the auctions you'd...

It's Palisades call obviously, but I don't buy any of the 'making it for the enjoyment of other people' crap. If you put something on Ebay you are hoping to make money from it. To then re-seal it in Palisades package and alter their sticker is pretty cheeky to me, i guess they try to be nice...

That's so generous of you but I think it cost the company who made that original figure hundreds of thousands for the license, sculpt, manufacturing etc etc. I don't think that gives you the right to modify it, re-seal it in their package and sell it on. If you love the line and enjoy making...

Toyfare are a wholesale client, they buy the figures with the agreements to sell them on. A custom isn't "re-furbished", it's modifying a copyrighted design, especially when it's being re-sealed on Palisades original card with their sticker altered. Selling this for profit is very much illegal...

Yeah Phillip is right, you may need a converter. I looked up the make of DVD player you listed and I couldn't find a region free code hack for it so you'd probably need to have that chipped too. All in all not great news. It'd probably work out far cheaper for you to search out one of the...

1) Palisades Swedish Kitchen 2) Palisades Series 4 Rizzo 3) Muppet 2003 Calendar 4) Muppet Monopoly 5) TMS DVD's UK HMV Collectors Pack

Expect the regular Robin to be exactly the same pose/look of the Frog Scout version just without clothes. That's the way it works - they make the naked version and then sculpt the clothes onto him. So both versions of Robin will be made cos actually they've already made them.

Fantastic News - Yay Bear ! I'm hoping to meet Bear again at the UK Toy Fair in January. Last time he was too busy cha-cha-cha'ing with two blonde babes that I didn't ask but i'll get a photo this year.

Y'know i'm one of those that feels strongly that there was absolutely nothing wrong or that abnormal with his personal life, heck i've seen abnormal in the media, believe me, and Jim Henson wasn't it. Hiding things, to me seems to make more out of it than there ever was. I don't particularly...

Yeah, i know. It is pretty devastating for those that have known and loved the place. If people here are getting worked up about it you can only imagine how deep the feelings go at Henson itself.

There was going to be a biography about Jim - the Henson family commisoned it and had a publishing deal. The problem came when the person writing it did some research and found that the real Jim Henson was actually nothing like the mythic person we are led to believe existed, and which the...

The museum idea has been considered and rejected apparently. I don't know how anyone can say Jim would never have done this when a) he wanted to move Henson to LA himself, and b) he was never alive through a real down period for the brand and an economic recession like this generally. Jim did...

Very cool - VMC broadcast with no adverts in widescreen, AND I can eat christmas dinner watching Muppets From Space. Now THAT's gonna please my family !
