And what is?

Would it be ruining the party too much to point out that, if Sesame Workshop were British, it'd only be 0.1% of the way to a billion, since the British billion has twelve zeros?

The concept of a non-talking character who many have a signature 'noise' has existed for as long as there has been performing arts. Harpo may be the most visible of these, but it would be a stretch to say that he was the definitive inspiration.

Hey, all. There is just over a day left on my listings. They are some special pieces that really add that extra dimension to your collection. The time to bid is now!

Hey, everyone. For those who may be interested, I've started listing my excess Schleich items (i.e. doubles) on eBay. There are some of the interesting variants (items on sockels, bootlegs, unpainted, rarer paint variants, etc) available. Check out my listings here. For some reason I can't...

It was another of those visits to the Salvation Army shop in which my spidey sense was tingling. Among the cluttered soft toy container was a piece of fabric that could only have been part of Ernie's trademark jumper/sweater. It wasn't going to be a rare collectible that would fund a trip to...

Seriously, mods. Quit with the power tripping. There was no need to combine my three posts into one entry just because you can.

Yeah. There are some things you just can't appreciate until you realise the details are made by shape and sculpting than by the paint. In its own way the dodgy paint adds character, giving the items their 'retro' look, but... If you're talking about the doubles, yes. Not sure about the...

Thanks :) Just a word of warning to anyone looking at expanding their collections of this, or any other, line. That special elusive, sought after piece will often be found in a seller's bulk lot, and you'll get more than your share of extras. Have a look at my box of doubles and consider it...

In the pre-Palisades days, my collection was very Big Bird-heavy (before other Muppets became so represented). My collecting instincts were so finetuned that I could instantly recognise Big Bird's legs among the clutter of plush toys in thrift shops.

Hey all, For the last year (as various posts to this forum have indicated), I've set about collecting the Schleich Muppet Show and Muppet Babies PVCs in all their forms (standard figures, paint variants, bootlegs, mounted figures, and so the list continues). While the collection is still far...

As entertaining as I find everyone's theory about the disclaimers, and as much as I support cynical Elmo-era bashing, I do think that people's responses to this have made it a much bigger deal than it is. The show's purpose has always been to reflect the popular aspects of television/pop...

Thinking about it now, Herry (who isn't listed as an option) seems to epitomise so many of Jerry's characters: Bold and potentially-intimidating, but always displaying a sweetness, a weakness, a vulnerability that makes the character endure.

Makes perfect sense to me

I would say you haven't seen everything until Muppet tampons are released.

So, let me get this straight: The whole universe was in a hot dense state...?

Not sure about that. The painting isn't flawless, but it is a factory-quality paint job.

My Schleich-gathering mission continues to thrive. A new bulk lot of items arrived in the mail today, and this one has me scratching my head: One look at that red collar and you, like me, would probably conclude that it must be a bootleg. Alas, look at the bottom of the figure, and...
