I never said it would be a BIG puppet :p

Oh I totally agree, it's ironic that the leading fan websites are waaaay better than most commercials ones. A few examples that come to mind are theforce.net, onering.net, The Lurker's Guide To Babylon 5 and of course, Muppet Central. The smart content owners know exactly what you are saying...

Hi all! This is an old site (from `96 or `97 I think) from the University of Maryland so some of you may have seen it, but since I hadn't I thought I would share in case anyone else hasn't seen it either: The site was put up by the University of Maryland for an exhibit they did on Jim...

On the issue of the MLB website(s), the kids are actually in the wrong legally. :( However, while MLB may be legally right, the ethics of suing 14 yr old baseball fans is pretty questionable. :mad:

The scenario you suggest - Count puppet maker defending himself using David's work - wouldn't fly in court because the two situations are really apples and oranges. Any dispute the JHC company could have with Armslength/Sears would be over violating the terms of Sears' license (and for all we...

You might actually catch these on air. The Comedy Network reruns one hour versions of almost all the SNL shows in a chronological cycle. Although these are edited and I've never seen the Muppets in one of the `75-`76 season eps, several people have told me they have. It's very possible these...

Thanks for posting this - I had totally forgotten this scene and not heard/seen it for years! FYI ALF fans, my boss (who's German) tell me ALF is HUGE in Europe (and they say the French don't have good taste in comedy!). :)

I think Grover is his most underrated character, but I'd have to say Fozzie, Cookie, Bert and Martin Snuggs in that order. Actually, my all-time fave Frank Oz character is Yoda, but he's not quite a Muppet, is he?

Tell `ya what, if you can get us a yard or metre (whichever they measure in in Sweden) we'll trade you for a puppet - email me privately and I'll send you pics of what we got. Of course if you are not in to puppets (and if you are not you should be posting on a different board!) we can just...

Here's the lowdown on the places to find Muppet-style puppets: Armslength Productions sells a number of VERY Muppet-style puppets priced between $99 - $200 US. I have no idea if the mouths are flexible. Axtell Expressions sells the best mass-produced latex puppets in the world, period...

Good luck Joggy!! Keep us all posted on the developments!

Those are pretty cool Bork Bork, tell me - where did u find the orange fur? That's almost impossible to get a hold of!

I know a few people (just fans) have talked about this and I think it is a great idea - provided it's not some cheap "movie of the week" thing. I supposed it's really up to the Henson family and the JHC since it really wouldn't be feasible to do it without the Muppets seen in some form and you'd...

Of course everyone knows the JHC's worst-kept secret is that they closed up the Muppet workshop in NYC (layoffs began in July I believe) and that the townhouse in NY is apparently up for sale (or going up soon). But the latest rumour I've heard (which surprised me) is that the LA Creature...

Once upon a time, when Buffalo still roamed the range and Bill Gates' fortune was still in the low billions there was this thing called "The Puppeteers Email List." I don't remember what year it was, but I suspect it was `94 because I was still using an Amiga (remember those?). Anyhow, the...

I'd be careful to group David Pannabecker, who is a fairly well-known and by all accounts respected member of the US puppetry community in with people making Muppet puppets to sell on ebay. From what I know of this, Sears had a licensing agreement a few years back with the JHC and Sears was...

Several past and present Muppeteers visit and ocassionally post to the Forum including Terry Angus, Karen Prell, Jerry Nelson and Rick Lyon (there may be others, but I can't recall the names). Muppet builders and Sesame Workshop staff have also been known to visit the forum. Does that help...

Although it isn't really a piece of Merchandise, my favorite Muppet item is a picture of me (9 yrs old) with my brother and the one and only Thog! I'm not sure where it was taken, but it was likely some special event my Dad took us to when "Fraggle Rock" and all the 80s Muppet specials were...

Yes, it actually is violating copyright laws to paint the mural in your child's room and technically, Disney could sue - but it's highly unlikely they would even if they knew about it unless you start using it for commercial purposes. Toys are a different issue, because they are legitimately...

What's THAT supposed to mean?? :confused: On the subject of weird puppets from JHH, I also thought that black haired Christina Ricci-ish Muppet was cool (what was her name?). Bean is another of my faves, probably my favorite Kevin Clash character of all time.
