The drawings (I can't bring myself to use the word artwork) in the first Return to Labyrinth book are abysmal. However, Legends of the Dark Crystal is being handled by a completely different team. It looks much, much better. Ironically, you can look at the very end of that Labyrinth book to...

Why . . . ? When you spend 60 percent of the episode talking about triangles, why isn't the number of the day THREE?

Episode 4135--Bookaneers Opening theme--I'm indifferent to the new music. They've changed the theme before, so I'm not upset, but it doesn't grab me. HOWEVER, I really really like the VISUALS of the new opening, with all the pictures unfolding, and I like how they've repeated that throughout...

Sunday, August 12, Frank Oz had an interview on NPR's news show All Things Considered. The main subject was a new movie he directed called Death at a Funeral, but there was also discussion of Miss Piggy and the Muppets. Among other things, he said he didn't mind questions about the Muppets and...

So far I've watched the Valentine special, the menu openers of all four discs and all the episodes on disc 1. And it's great. I'm extremely happy with this set except for some minor nuisances: It really unnerves me every time I select an episode and there's this long black space on the screen...

I thought others might like to know that manga publisher Tokyopop has a line of books called Cinemanga Jr. featuring Sesame Street. "Cinemanga," if you're not familiar with the term, is essentially a comic book made by taking stills of a video program and sticking them on a printed page with...

I too would like to know how big these are. Before I'd commit $60 I'd have to know roughly what size each one is. And ToyTokyo.com needs to get its act together. Their page featuring this product offers only the most minimal description--not the size of the figures, not where these designs...

I for one would be much happier if I knew they'd be sold at the Disney Store (the shopping-mall chain) instead of just at the parks. I can get to the Disney Store; I'll never get to the parks.

I would agree that the accessories, much as I enjoyed most of them, might have been a bit much. They put LOTS of fan-pleasing effort into accessories, and it's debatable whether that was the best use of their resources. However: I don't understand what more anyone could have wanted in the...

Conspiracy theorists take note Considering ABC is owned by Disney, this looks like sleazy marketing to me. Sheesh.

I can't supply any pictures. Pictures are available at some online stores, but I can understand wanting something less biased and more first-hand. I can't help with that, though. Sorry. There is no goblin figure included with Jareth.

Jareth released The Jareth figure is now being released. He's starting to show up at online stores. My preordered figure arrived Friday, and I posted my own long-winded review in the thread about him in the Action Figures section. This is just Jareth, by the way, no Hoggle, no goblin pack-ins.

Jareth figure review My Jareth figure arrived this afternoon. Though nobody asked for it, here's a long review offering my own opinions. My first thought was that he was smaller than I'd expected. Now, though, seeing him standing next to my computer while I write this review, he looks...

Any word on WHY they're not currently planning it for U.S. release? Do they think the U.S. is too Elmo-fied to accept Ernie and Bert? Or are they afraid this would compete with Elmo? Are the segments too short for PBS release (i.e., shorter than a half-hour show)? Do they think kids would be...

Channeling Oscar? Maybe I'll sound like a Grouch, but I'm really, really glad there are no signature images on this forum. I've seen enough other forums to know how unspeakably awful posts start to look with those things. People tend to use huge (and pointless) pictures that take up about five...

Jareth on the wing I preordered my Jareth figure from CornerStoreComics, and their website now lists the figure as in-stock. They've also charged my card. So Jareth ought to be reaching us soon. If you haven't preordered, it might be time to start shopping around your favorite...

"You are all WEIRDOES." -Sam the Eagle This is the WEIRDEST thread. I decided to review what's been added here since the last time I checked this thread (round about page 7). Yeep. Anyway, an idea struck me that many of you will probably find too sad and/or heretical to even contemplate...

Oh, yeah, I forgot about those movie characters Palisades left out. It's true the ones you named would be much more likely than Sal, Bean, etc., since they're variations of the central characters and not obscure Muppets. And since, in my mind, they're legitimate variants (they come from an...

I had this dream several months ago; I considered posting it on MC but never got around to it. Then today I noticed the name of this thread and felt the time had come, so here it is: I was in a store--probably Best Buy--browsing through their DVDs when suddenly I came upon one in this really...

In the interest of not seeming self-contradictory . . . Maybe nobody cares, but having just posted in another thread about the Labyrinth figures from NECA, I felt a need to come back here and add to what I said above. I'm going to buy a Jareth figure--it's in the bigger scale. It will, I...
