That was A Muppet Family Christmas. No John Denver in that one. But Jim makes a cameo at the end. It's probably my favorite Muppet special.

Iggy35 Yes, well, I'm working on the size. You should see the size of the troll head I made (he's body-less because I haven't figured out how to make a body that will be relatively easy to work and still be in proportion to his head). My next puppet will definitely be smaller, and thus...

Matleo Sorry I've been slow getting back. Thanks for looking-- I'm glad you like it! The head is covered in a fake fur. I had a lot of little pieces left over from a different project and I just started playing with them and forming wrinkles and creases. The fur has a really nice...

BorkBork Try running a gathering thread around the edge of the blue fleece before you tuck it under the red mouth part. That will encourage the fabric to take the shape you need and ought to help alleviate the bunching. If that doesn't work, I would try a combination of darts and the...

Brian is maintaining office space at both the LA and London Henson offices. If you go to the Henson web site and choose company executives, you will see that Brian is still listed, though no longer has a title. No idea what that means in terms of the actual day to day operations....

About the fabric bunching you are getting in Sam's beak (and I think you mentioned another place). I would suggest sewing the fleece. Cut out two pieces larger than the beak. Take some darts to allow the fabric to take on the shape of the beak. Then sew the two pieces together on the outside...

Couldn't see Beeker-- kept getting 'server not found' errors-- but Sam looks great! Very impressive for a first try (actually, it would be impressive if it weren't your first try). Did you sculpt from a big piece of foam or use long thinner pieces to form the shape? How is the mouth...

Well, I seriously doubt Henson is trying to confuse us or withhold information on a fan convention. I suspect plans aren't coming together as quickly as they had hoped. Perhaps the venue they wanted isn't available, or they got side tracked with being sold and losing their chair-- ya know...

Here here Phillip! The amount of information and input Ken and Palisades in general are allowing us is amazing and much appreciated! Oh-- and I think it goes without saying that retooling Beeker was absolutely the right choice.

Wow Ken! Don't think I'd heard about the floatie for Vacation Fozzie before-- what a great touch! I hope there's a MuppetFest exclusive. I know you don't need it-- it's not like you have to work at selling the line to Muppet fans-- but it would be way cool. A Bunson Beeker two pack...

I apologize if this has already been covered-- but who is getting the exclusives for Series 2? I know EB has Gonzo, but have any of the others been announced? What about series 3?

Pre-order prices are almost always subject to change. I believe that is listed-- in small print-- some where on the EB site. I suspect they tossed everything up on their site as quickly as possible and later went back and looked more closely. Sometimes it takes a while for the pricing people...

I haven't checked venues, but I got an email from Henson yesterday So it appears they are giving out less information now than when this thread started.

This is a bit nerve racking! As Phillip said, if this is a move to allow Brian to focus entirely on the creative side (and wasn't that one of the reasons he thought the sale to EMTV would be a good thing?) then it is great. If it is a response to the up coming sale-- and perhaps to information...

I finally finished my first foam puppet! There's definitely room for improvement, but for a first try, I'm pretty happy with him. Thanks to everyone who gave my pointers and suggestions-- I appreciate all the advice!! :) You can see photos of Fenwick the Turtle here...

Last week, when they were not out on the 24th, the manager at the local EB told me the figures had been the subject of a teleconference, that they were definitely getting them, and the shelf date was June 7th. Anyone think the heightened security is slowing this down? Taking longer to get...

Something we haven't mentioned here (unless I missed it, in which case I apologize) is the band. Everyone seemed to enjoy the Muppet music last year. I'd love to see more of that this year. With a larger variety of songs (someone suggested a Sesame Street sing-along-- GREAT idea, there are a...

Personally, I think a lot of the people buying on eBay (in general-- not just with these lunch boxes) aren't really in touch with the Muppet world. I mean, I don't think they realise the action figures and lunch boxes are coming out and will be available at their local malls. I've seen people...

You get the extra scene (that aired in the UK but did not air in the US) on the videos. The DVDs come with some special features that you do not get on the videos (muppetisms, concept sketches of some of the muppets, some trivia) and if you have a computer that plays DVDs, you get an additional...

Top 3 MuppetFest II Since it seems there will indeed be a MuppetFest II (Yea!!!:D ) and Creation/Henson were so good about sending their spies here to see what we wanted at MuppetFest I, I thought we should start putting together our requests. So... List your top three for Muppet Fest II...
