    Muppet musicals

    Hi everyone, For my independent research project for my class on Musicals, I'm focusing on puppet musicals -which, it seems, is limited to Muppet movies and Little Shop of Horrors... unless somebody can point something else out to me. Did Meet The Feebles have songs in it? Anyway, Muppet...

    "The Frog Factory"

    does anybody remember the early '70s Disney anthology series The Mouse Factory? For those unfamiliar with it, in a nutshell, a celebrity would "clock in" to the Mouse factory, perform some schtick which would string together a load of old Disney material, with a particular theme for each...

    "Some day we'll find it, the Muppet Connection"

    Fozzie Bear, interpret this how you will... maybe you've provoked me, maybe you've inspired me, or maybe it's a rose by any other name. Anyway, this is the post I just had to make when Fozzie said, in response to my message about the Stick Puppets... >>>I played with mine like crazy, and...

    My Life Begins Today!!!

    Ladies and gentlemen, I am today a happy man. Never underestimate the power of pieces of plastic coming into your life... particularly pieces of plastic that are moulded by Fisher-Price into being Animal stick puppets :D I am now the proud owner of a complete set of them *does a dance* So...

    Do we have a new record here?

    Well, just-released figures are already appearing with eBay-ish hyperbole (hard to find, my butt!) and to make it even better, the seller is trying to be "hip" by using the text that Palisades used back in series one...

    Question for Australians

    Apologies, but the non-Aussies will probably have no idea what I'm talking about. However, I rarely know hat I'm talking about either, so it's no real loss. Anyway, take a look at http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3126962926&category=11741 and tell me if you see what I...

    Life imitates art imitates eBay imitates Muppet Central

    I found this one funny. Remember the description of the 1978 Fisher Price Fozzie plush on this site's Collectibles guide: "As you can tell by the shape of his head the Fozzie doll was based on the original, first season Fozzie who was later redesigned after the second season of The Muppet...

    Is this genuine?

    I have never been able to make head or tail of this commonly-made claim on eBay. Of course, if an eBay seller says i, it MUST be right :) But oh, for the sake of clarifying... Take a look at http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3122882738&category=2527 a) There has never...

    Zoot repaint

    Hey, This is going to sound incredibly anal, and will only confirm a few not-very-nice people's theories that I need to get out more, BUT... Just noticed that, on the series 2 cards, the barcode area had the name of the red-shirted Floyd as "Floyd", and the blue one as "Variant Floyd"...

    I'm So Stoopid!

    My Animal figure was causing me great distress. He was talking pride of place on the Electric Mayhem playset, holding his drumsticks up high for all to see, but his hands were back-to-front. The thumbs were facing outwards instead of in, and when I tried to turn the hands so that the thumbs...

    eBay sellers reach an all-time 'dodgy' level...

    Ok, so falsely identifying something as 'rare' and 'hard to find' is no longer enough. Look at the claim this person tries to make... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3210447836&category=796 So refreshing to see that nobody has bid on it! Cherry "please, spare me!" Pizza

    Woo Hoo!

    It was a slow and lousy day yesterday, and I was tempted to punish anybody I came into contact with for having the nerve to breathe the same air and walk the same earth as I... then I got to the post office, and one of the Fisher Price Stick Puppets was waiting for me! I bought the darn thing...

    Have the exclusives jumped the shark?

    Hey all, I've been away from here for some time, and just did a quick spped read of what's going down in this forum, and well... uh... something has just come to mind. I would really like to believe that the Palisades Muppet figures are a far cry from the World of Springfield or Hasbro...

    Let's dream about Sesame Street figures again

    Ok, we can accept the fact that Sesame figures won't make their way to the Palisades line, but hey, there's nothing wrong with fantasising. After all, if all we're doing is dreaming, our ideas don't have to be compromised by pesky little inconveniences as sculpting, cost, marketability and all...

    I'm gonna kick myself when somebody reminds me...

    Who was the guest on the episode of TMS on which Kermit was at home sick, leaving Fozzie to host the show, never giving the guest a decent intro and putting Veterinarian's Hospital and the Ballroom on the stage at the same time? Also, here in Australia, the station that aired the show had a...

    Got my first one!

    Ok, this is going to make me sound lame, like a rookie and possibly inspire Statler & Waldorf style heckles from those who've had complete sets for months, but the isolated little eBaying Aussie is finally a member of the "I have a Palisades action figure to call myown" club. My Vanishing...
