It's wishful thinking! ;)

It's not available for pre-order yet. It's still a "coming soon" item.

£150 is a good price considering how much time and effort that has been put into him. Do you reckon he will be in the same size box as Kermit? Any idea on the total height of the wierdo? Smaller or bigger than Kermit? There can't be much in it.

I still have some of those re-runs on video. :)

The prototype photos on the MR website won't do the final piece justice in my opinion. The first Kermit photos were not too great either. I would ask anyone who is wondering whether to buy or not to not go by the official photos because I don't think they will do these replicas justice. If you...

For $200 the quality of Kermit was amazing. As long as MR keep up the standard, the prices are more than worth the final product. Plus, if kept in great condition, the value of these items are sure to go up over the coming years.

It would have been nice, as ITC and HIT! no longer exist, for Disney to have left them intact and then added the Disney or Muppet Holding logo at the end of that. They had to use a clip from another season (I think I am right in saying that Zoot is a different colour) to add to the first...

That's a real pity. There was a fair bit of Muppet music released on vinyl over the years, albums and singles, so hopefully the master tapes of these still exist at least.

Don't think of it ending on the rocks because it can't. If they stopped producing Muppet shows or movies now and Piggy and Kermit were never shown again, the story would end as it is. What happens next would be up to each person and their own mind. We only have this story because the writters...

Piggy and Kermit have never really had a "relationship" of that kind, not in any of the original movies or The Muppet Show at least. The writers played with the ideas a little and made it clear that they cared about each other but that's as far as it ever went while Jim Henson was around. Most...

Well said! :)

*badum tish* (drum fill) :p Can't say that the movies really do the cartoon strip justice. Kinda ironic that Bill Murray provided the voice for Garfield tho.

I would rather have a Gonzo that lasts a lifetime and doesn't look exact than and exact replica that will last 10 years max. I am not buying this line because they are exact replicas nor do I need them to be "exact". Nothing that has ever been released before to do with the Muppets has been...

It's a real pity about this replica. From the photos, Gonzo doesn't seem to have any life in him at all and I agree with everyone about the eyes. I can't imagine that anyone will ever make anything like this of the Muppet characters so I'll buy it. I really don't want to jeopardize the replica...

I have The Muppet Show on video from Spain (released in 1993) with Spanish overdubs and the first season DVD set in the UK has French lanaguage option. The original backing track can be heard with new language vocals recorded over the top. Is there any chance that these backing tracks still...

Have you seen this interview with Jim and Kermit, filmed about 2 weeks before Jim died? Looks like the Frog/Pig relationship was already having some problems. Look out for an early performance from CLifford who completely steals the show! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=y1-PwZltH8E

If you like short, funny comic strips Garfield is definitely one of the best.

Thanks for all the info. Can't wait to get mine now. :excited: I wonder how much Fraggle music still exists on the original tapes from when they decided to compile the original 80s LPs? It seems a real pity that the same doesn't exist for The Muppet Show. Maybe one day some of the old master...

Good point. The "pig-bashing" clip (that seemed to have been recorded more than a few months earlier) only came about because Piggy was talking about the "steamy" sauna scene with ballet dancer Nureyev from The Muppet Show in 1976 (Piggy had a "thing" with pretty much every single male guest...

If they brought out the complete season DVD sets over here it would be a start! :smirk: There was one nice DVD set they released in the UK. 2 discs of random episodes plus the "Down At Fraggle Rock" documentary. Also, they used an instrumental version of the closing theme (without Gobo and...
