I know those are true, but I was more unsure about the notability on those things. I don't know off-hand if the wiki notes sizes of merchandise.

Disney owns the rights to Little Muppet Monsters.

I don't think there's any rumors about this toy line yet. The only info I thought could be included but was unsure are the ones about intended size and the fact that they don't want the line to be a continuation/compatible to the Palisades line.

What other toy lines do this? I think somebody once suggested something like this to Ken at Palisades as a way to get Sweetums released, and he didn't like that idea. Of course that doesn't mean that the Diamond people won't think differently. I just realized that while it's said that they...

I enjoyed seeing Muppet Madness. So glad you had that. It's a little more enjoyable than You're the Director. Actually, both those InteractiVision releases are a lot more enjoyable than the Play-Along Videos. I also enjoyed some of the Jim Henson Hour promos. All of the episodes used to be on...

Walter could whistle. Or he could do an act listing off as many Muppet facts as possible. Or Kermit could put him in the position of Muppet archivist.

I'll be surprised if they release any of the other full body monsters in the 7 inch line. Heck, I'd even be surprised if they put out a Sweetums this year or next. I'd expect Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Animal, Scooter, Rowlf, Bunsen, Beaker, Statler, Waldorf, The Swedish Chef, and maybe Rizzo, Pepe...

So I guess if they want to make a Sweetums, they can make him in scale without worrying about packaging.

I had forgotten about that.

Yes. And yet for some reason, although he'd been done with performing, he continued later on to have major roles on Eureeka's Castle and Dog City, while also performing in the occasional production (in fact he returned to the role of Barkley for Big Bird in Japan, even though the character had...

I looked at The Best of Elmo 3 in the store, and saw that the back cover actually pictures celebrities who appear. I think this is the first time since Warner Home Video got the license that celebrities appeared on the packaging.

I wonder if Sam and Friends would be allowed. Craig Shemin said in his Tough Pigs interview that Disney owns the characters but for some reason still needs Henson's permission to use them. I wonder if that will be an issue. Sony owns the films, but Disney owns the characters (including...

Well, The Best of Elmo 3 is out. The Muppet Mindset did a review: https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2015/03/03/review-the-best-of-elmo-3/ As expected, this one does not have any of Elmo's appearances from the 1980s. It's not really said in the review, but I asked on Facebook and was told that...

After reading Craig Shemin's interview and seeing that they didn't want to use screen grabs if they didn't have to, I kept thinking about how every page has at least one screen grab (even for characters who should be easy to find three actual photos of), and kept wondering if he meant they...

Yeah, I don't expect the action figure line to include anybody not made by Palisades (except maybe Walter, and a bigger maybe to Bean Bunny and Bobo). But I could see the Mini-Mates line including some characters that Palisades didn't make. But we'll have to wait and see. Hmm, I wonder if a...

I'm guessing that the YouTube commenter was just guessing (then again, I know that Brian Meehl does have an official website, and has answered fan e-mail in the past). But one thing to keep in mind is that the unaired episodes (that we've seen) don't have end credits. So if it was him or a...

It's so great that the 10-videos promo is finally on YouTube. I may have said this before, but it's strange how in the longest version, a few of the clips that appear before and after all the video sections are replaced with other clips, and yet all of the replacement clips are from The...

It is so great to see that whole Saturday Morning Preview special. I guess there was a time when they did those kinds of specials every year, since there was one in 1984. I'd like to see the whole one of that, to know what rabbit was being referred to in that clip with the Muppet Babies voice...

Well, I have now done an article to honor the anniversary: https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2015/02/27/top-five-snl-land-of-gorch-segments/

There's something about this segment that had kind of hit me recently. Long ago, around 2001, I realized the fact that half of these characters no longer appeared on the show, or didn't often. It was rare to even see Gladys, Hoots, Guy Smiley, Biff, and Kermit (though the kids would likely know...
