Did i ever not acknowledge the Sesame Street characters as Muppets ? (I even referred to Elmo as a 'Muppet'). Did i ever say they don't have a place in 'Muppetdom' ? Of course they do. In puppetry, historical and fan terms it is as you say, one tent under two different banners. However in...

Yeah i had heard basically what Buck Beaver said although i think the main Muppets get replaced a lot quicker since they have to look in tip top condition and are used so much. The Fraggles as mentioned, we know for a fact are ones that have broken down because Terry who worked on the show saw...

Zack - aside from the traditional connection between Muppets and Sesame as i mentioned, the only other connections are that the New York Workshop are retained to maintain and build puppets (just like Creature Shop do for movie clients) and also i guess either the same puppeteers are hired...

Yeah i'm sure Sesame would be touched upon - one or two puppets, maybe a little Sesame clip video, a few props. That's just organised and legally cleared like a guest appearing on a talk show. However a whole Sesame theme, and making the show itself a big part of the day is complete lunacy...

As far as i can see, It's worth between $2 to $6 depending on the condition. You can check what dealers want for it at Barnes and Noble at :- http://search.barnesandnoble.com/OopBooks/OopResults.asp?userid=2VMEZRWLII&title=Grover+down+on+the+Farm and at www.ebay.com just type the book name into...

Welcome to the nuthouse Ian ! :smirk:

Hi !

The plans for MF2 were pretty solid and Henson were gunning to do it right upto the last possible moment. They knew exactly what was happening at the second Muppetfest. Maybe if they weren't planning a show it was a budget issue in order to get the thing green lighted at that difficult time...

Yeah i think you've gotta watch it with the Gorg scale - they're not likely to make Gorgs the size and cost of Megas and you can only go so far in terms of size and material costs at the price of a regular figure so i really think just as large as they can possibly make it at that price. I...

Hmmmmm what i will be doing for the Summer ? Well, more of the same really. At the moment i'm writing the treatments for about 8-10 new Television shows and an animated cartoon which i'm hoping to either get commisioned seperately or join one of the big TV companies full time to have them...

Are we watching the same Muppets here ? :p You are bang on the money about Sesame Street being featured at a Muppetfest. The event made them little money as it was - they aren't likely to use time in a showcase event to promote some other companies characters. Clash doesn't puppeteer...

Aside from the fact everybody and his dog associates them with the 70's because that's when they were most popular, and the larger percentage of the Muppets audience is nostalgic people from their early twenties to late thirties ? Try asking someone at Henson about the numbers for kids and...

Erine, I think Count is a little mixed up and thinks you want to fix the second book. I kinda get what you are actually saying - seeing as you have one version of the book already, i would say check Ebay to make sure the book isn't worth that much and if it isn't then yeah, fine - go ahead...

Yeah that is pretty mixed up - there are just as many ugly Piggy's as Fozzies and Smig drew all the Fozzies looking good. That's artistic perfection for ya !

No i like the scale idea - Doozers the size of Rizzo, Fraggles the size of Kermit and say Gorgs the size of Fozzie, Samuel Arrow or the Chef. That's fine. There's no need for a scale between figure representations of the Fraggles and Gorgs because you get the little mini Fraggle PVC figurines...

Oh god - i just hope Reality TV (even if just Celeb Reality) stays around for one more year. 3 of the 8 main shows i'm either pitching or have somewhere near commision level right now are linked to reality in some new and original way. I guess in the UK we might have a bit more time ! *sweats*...

By that time there probably will be a store local to you that stocks the single figures, so i wouldn't worry !

To be honest, i don't want crap where all they do is kiddy direct to video sequels and people get annoyed by how much they are in the media BUT i don't want quality where you wait 3 years between shows and can't find their merchandise on the streets aisde from in specialist stores, and your...

Yeah i wouldn't be suprised if they continue fan fests as an annual thing that they do something at some point in the UK - sooner or later they'll run out of stuff and theres plenty they can do here - even Rivkin goes on about how the UK is Henson's best market right now and how accepted the...

We still have WB stores over here, full of Tweety, Scooby and Harry Potter and Friends stuff. They're just as popular as the Disney stores. Pooh hasn't completely dissapeared here either but it's not promoted as much. Yeah i knew Scooby would get a reaction here because thats exactly the...
