Hi, all. I have about 50 doubles of figures in my Schleich collection. My hoarder self thinks that the box of doubles is "kinda cool" but my poor self thinks that clearing out the doubles on eBay is worth considering. My humble observations have always told me that auctions tend to have a...

Operation Gather-Schleich continues with a vengeance. Now, any PVC collector will know that one of the downfalls of buying these items online is having to buy them in bulk lots which will be either blessed or plagued by items one had no intention of owning. With this in mind, for your viewing...

If anyone is a fan of buying Muppet items in bulk from eBay sellers, please be advised that now is a very bad time to do a search on the words 'Muppet collection'. I just tried it... and about 80% of the results were those stupid new (ahem!) 'Muppet themed' nail polishes.

A Sesame Street special, 'Growing Hope Against Hunger' airs on PBS on 9 October, 7pm. A new Muppet girl, Lily, will visit the street as she makes other characters aware of the issue. For more information, visit...

Apologies for yet another Schleich-related post. I PROMISE you that when I finish this obsessive Schleich-gathering mission I'll have some interesting things to show you. I am trying in vain to clarify the situation when other companies' imprints are on Schleich figures, both Muppet Show and...

So, while we spend another thread speculating about the possibility of McDonald's having movie-themed Happy Meal toys, another much deeper issue surfaces: It's been acknowledged that the Disney/McDonald's arranged marriage was anulled by the fact that McDonald's can't pull off the 'wholesome...

Is there any logical reason for having these things in Muppet Show-themed boxes?

Hey, all. My quest to gather Schleich figures in all their forms continues. Does anyone know if these keychains were genuine products, or if they would have been prepared by a hobbyist who wanted to make a few extra bucks at a flea market?

Chef items sold by German eBayers are often listed as 'Danish Chef', which is fair enough since the Chef was Danish in the German dubs of the show. So... if we are listing items in our collections, and they are made by German manufacturers (like Schleich, for example), should we still refer to...

Hey all, Undertaking a one-man, non-world-shattering, unscientific research mission about variations in Schleich Muppet PVCs. There have actually been some interesting findings. With this in mind, could you please look at your Fozzie figurine for me and report: is his tie plain white, or...

Someone is selling this cartoon cel online, with the only information being that it is from Sesame Street. Does anyone recognise the animation? Can you enlighten me as to what it is?

The Collectibles section of this site claims that Schleich also made a Muppet theatre to house the figurines. Has anyone ever actually seen this theatre, or is it all just a beautiful dream? I ask because I remember that, however many years ago that section was put on the site, one member...

*puts on Hairspray karaoke* *sings* Oh, my God How times have changed These girls must be blind Or completely deranged... Just saw the cover of the FTB DVD for the first time. It really does say something about the changing times for the Street when Elmo (who has the briefest of...

After finally finding a copy on the shelves in Australia, I am currently watching volume 2 of the Old School DVDs. Yes, the discs are wonderful, and the purpose is clear. Yes, it's wonderful to see (mostly) intact episodes from years gone by. You've heard the praise from many people on this...

So, back in late January I made a post asking if anyone had seen much of anything Follow That Bird-related, and we were all quick to agree that there wasn't much hope of finding much of anything. At this time, two things happened: 1) I decided I would try to find as much as I could of...

Re-watching Manhattan as an adult, I can still get caught up in the drama, the emotion, the laughs, the magic of the whole thing. However, there are some things that, try as it might, my adult mind can't avoid asking. Kermit knows that he has amnesia. He knows that he has created an identity...

Bear with with, people, I need to ponder. Just went to an amazingly amazing screening of the first two Toy Story movies in 3D. While I was watching the second one (which, btw is my favourite one so far. I realise this probably puts me in the minority), it resonated with my toy collecting...

This seems to be fairly light-on the ground. In my searchings throughout my Muppet collecting time, I've found the soundtrack album, various posters, the movie storybook and... not much else. There have been a few books based on events from the movie. One that I have is Big Bird's Day on...
