    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I got the figures last week, but didn't open them until last night. And they are awesome. Okay, so some of the articulation has been hard for me to do, and I have had trouble getting them to hold their accessories (I have gotten Fozzie to hold his rubber chicken). And I haven't been able to...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I saw these at Toys R Us and picked them up (except for the standard version of Bunsen and Beaker). I have not yet opened them, plan to change that within a night or two. I took pictures of the packaging to post on Muppet Wiki, had a bit of trouble adding the images (it's not often I add images...

    Henson/Oz/Frith Interview: Question about Animal

    Sometime after this thread was posted, there was an episode of "The Muppets" ("The Ex-Factor") where Animal refers to Zoot by name, and he referred to him as "Zoot" instead of "Zat". Considering Zoot isn't referred to by name that often, I say it's best that Animal not call him "Zat". Those...

    Retired characters

    Long-unseen characters made from Anything Muppets can easily be brought back for cameos or background appearances, since even if the puppets are no longer usuable, they still have the Anything Muppet bases. They don't have to build a full puppet. And the majority of non-animal characters are...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    I've seen a number of people who have said that they wouldn't want this to be exactly like The Muppet Show, or that the show would fail if it was exactly like The Muppet Show. I'd like to have a "what if"/alternate reality machine to prove whether a new "Muppet Show" would succeed. I agree...

    "The Muppets" show runner exits, series to be relaunched February 2 with episodes 11-16

    I thought of a kind of re-tool I'd like to see, though I doubt they'd go with this: I'd like to see a special structure that's like how the new show has been presented, and part like The Muppet Show. Each episode has three acts, not counting the cold open and credits sequences. I'd like act 1...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    In "Single All the Way", it looks like Kermit and Piggy will eventually get back together. Since this happened, I had suspected they would be the end of the season, but now I'm thinking that maybe it'd be better if the relationship were like on The Muppet Show, where it was usually one-sided...

    Video: Kodachrome with The Electric Mayhem

    When watching this at first, I thought it looked like it was made before the series, and then I saw info that it was made at the same time as Jungle Boogie (and to be fair, I had known that there'd be another Electric Mayhem video). In addition to the Lips puppet looking different from the...

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Maybe showing lyrics was a rights thing, but I still feel there should have been a visible screen (even if it's shot from behind) for them to look at.

    The Muppets Episode 4 - Pig Out

    Do they ever actually say that they're singing karaoke? I think I've seen it in descriptions, but it seems to me like they never actually show a lyrics screen with the characters to look at. So maybe they all know the songs well enough that they try their hands at singing without looking at the...

    Rowlf in TMM

    I never thought that part of the film was lost after it broke. It was pointed out that at that point they stopped coming up with reasons for each character to want to go to Hollywood. When Kermit meets Bunsen and Beaker, they never discuss Hollywood, they just travel with the rest when they...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    So at the beginning of Back to the Future Part II, Doc shows up in the morning to take Marty and Jennifer to the future, and when they get back, it's night time. Why didn't they just go back to when they left? I always assumed they put her there on the night of the day they left, as opposed to...

    The Muppets Episode 10 - Single All the Way

    I saw on the ABC site that this episode will expire from there in 1 day, though the previous four episodes will remain (at the very least, it doesn't say when those will expire, but it seems like the site has five episodes at a time, with the oldest one expiring when a new one is added).

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    I see in that picture that was posted that Dr. Teeth is seen without his hat. In the last few years, we've occasionally seen Dr. Teeth hat-less, something that hadn't really occurred before the action figure came out (and we started seeing that with the puppet several years after the figure)...

    Funko to release Sesame Street toys

    Looking at the pictures, I know notice that the Big Bird has eye lids. Here and at Tough Pigs, people say that this is the revealed series 2, as if it's new news, but I thought we had always known that'd be the line-up. When the line-up was announced, I believe all of series 1 and 2 were...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    A few nights ago I dreamt that I got some Sesame Street plush. Plush of Cookie Monster, Grover, and Herry, as well as series 2 of the Funko Pop figures: Elmo and The Count... But I also got a Herry Funko.

    TV Tropes

    I wonder if the "First Installment Wins" could apply to works of an actor or behind-the-scenes member. For example, it seems like I Love Lucy is Lucille Ball's best-known show, the one most heavily seen in syndication and home video. The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy were both successful, and all...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I wonder how different the production order for The Muppets differs from the broadcast order, if at all. Nearly all Henson shows have a different production order from broadcast (I know, Henson isn't involved with The Muppets...), and in an age where the average sitcom has plots that regularly...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    The first episode of The Muppets included a couple of human characters, who I think were supposed to be regulars, but they haven't done much outside of the first episode. I think I saw their names in the credits for a few episodes following the first, but don't remember them doing anything in...

    The Muppets Episode 10 - Single All the Way

    I didn't think Mindy's singing when they were practicing sounded too bad. Sounded more like a child singing.
