I'm just a novice when it comes to puppet building, but I don't think a programmable sewing machine will cut it here. I've got a pretty shnazzy machine, but the thickness of the foam makes it difficult to get through a machine (though I do force it through sometimes). You generally need a...

Welcome to the forum! Make yourself comfortable. I'm sure you'll run into Warrick or Luke in no time....

There have been a few threads to welcome people. ASL and Your Favorite Muppet is a pretty popular one at the moment. It's in the Friends and Family section.

It's All Right to Cry is from Free to Be You and Me and was written by Carol Hall. It wasn't credited in the list, so I thought I'd add the info.

Development This is standard practice in 'the biz.' Scripts are purchased and may or may not be made. Stuff can be 'in development' for decades. Sometimes they move forward and become actual movies, most of the time they don't. Basically, it means Henson has paid for the right to consider...

Re: Re: Cory, Only everyone familiar with 80s American pop culture. Which rules out a lot of Brits and teens.

I don't know anything about closing the LA Creature Shop. Last I heard, the responsibility for buidling, storing, and refurbishing Muppets was being transferred to LA. If that's true, I'd be quite surprised if they closed the Creature Shop, but maybe something's changed. Scary thought...

Kelly Ripa appeared in an episode of Sesame Street last season. She played a mail carrier and delivered a package to Big Bird. She also sang part of Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood. Can't explain the Christmas part of what you heard, but I suspect she was talking about Sesame...

Lots of us Muppet freaks, err, I mean fans would pay $50 for an EM set-- but how many casual fans and generic figure collectors would? I don't think enough to make it profitable. I suspect it would be a tough sell to the retailers in the first place. It's easy for us to get caught up in...

Thanks, Ken, happy to help! And thank you for all your help with the FAQ, made it tons more fun to read, not to mention more accurate. :D The FAQ is well worth a quick look-- Ken dropped some new information in when he gave us some revisions....

It's been a while since any Muppet Babies fabric was manufactured. The printed Muppet Babies fabric panels for making pillows show up on eBay with some regularity. Regular Muppet Babies fabric also pops up from time to time. The easiest way to get Muppet Babies fabric is to hunt for second...

Thanks SFPepe! Always wanted a King Prawn to fend off bullies for me. :D BTW-- why the ASL in the title to this thread? I was expecting something about Muppets and sign language....

I'll play, but only cause any friend of Jamies has to at least be entertaining. I'm in my 30s, female, and live sort of near Seattle (but will probably be moving soon). I used to live in Silicon Valley, but would rather not get into specifics 'cause I don't want the cool SFers to pick on me...

Can you translate that please? Thanks

Umm, Phillip didn't say MusicLand's Vacation Fozzie would be out August 28th, he said he would be available to order on-line. I imagine that's pre-orders. I'm sure it is possible that date could slip-- we've all learned dates can change, especially when related to the internet-- but I'd...

Hi Guy-- Nerf is a line of soft toys-- very popular in the US. If you go to toysrus.com and search for 'nerf' you will find a selection of nerf toys-- lots of gun type things that send nerf balls flying through the air and simple nerf balls with mini basketball hoops that suction cup to the...

Isn't it just too cool to see the picture with all the figures from series 1 & 2 together like that? :D Can't wait to have all these guys in my own collection! (Of course I may have to have a Palisades room to display them all before this license runs out....)

Actually, the Victorian period refers to the reign of Queen Victoria, 1855-1901. In the US, the Victorian period is commonly thought of as post Civil War to about 1910. the 1670s would fall in the Restoration period in England, I think. It's the colonial period in America. No idea about...

The swing thing comes from the 40s, not the 50s. (Sorry, just a point of order there.) Really, it has its roots in the Jazz Age with the flappers. Wana talk about how the Punk scene in the 70s was really a revisioning (and a very successful one) of the 50s rock look? They took the...
