By the way, I've been trying to get in touch with Travis, but he seems to be MIA. So, here is what he told me at Comic-Con... and remember, this is Travis' wish list, just like anyone else's on here. It doesn't mean this is going to happen, although Travis has a lot more clout to pull it off...

Yes, but the jackets I was talking about also had custom embroidery on them. The way those work, there is a one-time set-up fee and then each jacket they embroider is fairly reasonable. I'm sure the factories in China work the same way. The biggest expense is the set-up fees. Once the line...

Scooter's jacket wouldn't be any more difficult to make than Gonzo's tuxedo. Back in the 70's and 80's, satin crew jackets were big items and even when we had to pay for them ourselves, they usually cost somewhere between $35 and $70 and that was for a lower quantity than MR would have to...

That's odd. I just got the e-mail and it says $250. But since there will be 2500 of them and Kermit has yet to sell out, I will definitely be waiting on this one to see some final photos... and maybe even some fan photos after he ships. It depends how the pictures on the website turn out...

I completely agree with everything you say here and I've been saying it for months, but people are so scared that foam will fall apart in a year. I have a puppet that's over 30 years old and the foam is still good in it. Ask Fozzie... he's seen my puppet. The other thing I suspected is that...

I'm glad to hear you say that, too. The only reason I'm buying these photo puppets is because this is probably the best we'll get. I'd rather have working hand puppets, but those are not going to made and these are the next best thing. However, because of that, I expect these to be near...

Thanks for posting those pictures, MuppetCaper. I appreciate your efforts on our behalf. But I'm going to need to see better pictures before I even consider pre-ordering. I still don't like the nose, especially in the picture where he's laying down. It's too smooth. His eyelids are still...

I thought I was the inspiration for the Swedish Chef. In an audition for Jim Henson, years before the Muppet Show, I did a double-talking Swedish character. :p

I don't think they are denying it. They just haven't come out and said it yet. :p

I was for many years, but now, sadly, haven't been a member in many years. :p

Well, I think that seals the deal for MuppetVision. As far as the coaster goes, I've seen an artist's conceptual drawing that was printed in the Studio Newsreel, the official newspaper, last week. It looks like in the present plans, they are not changing Paradise Pier very much except to...

It's $50 off, not 50% off. Still, it's a good deal, but as it said, it's only for the people they sent it to. :p

I know we're in the minority here, and everyone is entitled to like the characters they like, but I agree with you on this. I've never been a Piggy fan. She serves a purpose as a character in the group, but I find her self-indulgence, jealousy and ego more annoying than funny. The only reason...

Well, I would agree with you except for the fact that they've recently released the first two seasons of The Muppet Show on DVD, making them just as visible as the movies. I have to respectfully disagree with Travis on this one, too. :p

I don't want to sound like an Oscar, but I'm not preordering Gonzo until I see pictures! :p

Sorry... that should have been "Antony". I apologize for the mistake. :p

That's very interesting. I've been saying that very thing since they first announced this park, however many years ago it's been now. As far as Mickey's Philharmagic, there are two other soundstages the same size as MuppetVision sitting empty right now. The former site of "Who Wants to be a...

Okay, I have to apologize for furthering rumors. Everyone should know by now to take anything they read on Wikipedia with a grain of salt. I just reread the official press release from Disney Parks and Resorts and nowhere in it does it mention Mickey's Philharmagic replacing MuppetVision 3*D...

Anthony was just projecting his wish list into the future. It was a joke. :p

Actually, they're not taking out the Aladdin show. It says they're enclosing the theater, which I don't understand, since the theater is already enclosed. I didn't even read that press release carefully enough (I had seen the one they sent around to studio employees). It confirms the end of...
