    Life imitates art imitates eBay imitates Muppet Central

    OK, rules for selling toys... for kids under five, they are "educational" for kids over five, they are "scientific" for toys that look like this, they are "vintage" or "collectible" Be sure to come back next week for Real Estate 101, where you will learn that a cramped shoebox is...

    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?

    Re: Re: Is this genuine? Thought so, thanks. It just seemed curious that so many auctions have been naming it Mrs Hooper. I remember one auction in which it was claimed that Mrs Hooper is the one who took over the store when Mr Hooper died. Yeah, right! Cherry "David wasn't THAT...

    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

    My Series 3 review

    Sure Scooter's accessories are cool, but, I said it before and I'll say it again... SCOOTER NEEDS POPCORN!!!! After all, in all three pre-Hunt's death Muppet movies, Scooter is involved in a gag that involves popcorn Cherry "dreaming of the day when Muppet Central folk pay attention to his...

    Official Series 7-14 ideas

    Did anyone else have THAT response to the words "Dr. Phil"? :D Hmmm, if they also had a David Letterman action figure, perhaps they could be the exclusive double set for Celebrity Deathmatch figures Cherry "Hey, they're bringing out figures resembling everybody else!" Pizza

    it's like woah man

    I know, but that blurb appeared on books published in the 60s and 70s, when it was Children's Television Workshop. DUH! Back to you

    Guy Smilley Ripoff

    Would Guy Smiley still be a relevant pop culture reference for the kids who watch the show today? Bear in mind that I'm not an American, but my knowledge of US TV is strong enough to know that the style of game show that Guy is parodying may be a good laugh-getter for the nostalgia-hungry...

    Michael Jackson's Jeweled Kermit Bust

    The disturbing thing is that, maybe, he hasn't changed at all since then... he seems to have all the insecurities and fantasies and passions he had as a child, and uses his adult resources to realise them. He seems to honestly believe that he is doing nothing wrong, and that the adult mindset...

    The official, "Remember this?" thread

    OK, memories of this one are REALLY blurry... a cartoon sequence - I believe it was a series of them, starts with a pan of a high-rise apartment block, and goes into a couple of kids who, as far as I can remember, were playing detectives. One of the kids is talking to a concerned "client" on...

    Bear on Patrol Fozzie

    Not 'editing' it either? :) Anyways, I'm just hoping nobody misinterprets what you meant by PIS... When all the controversy was looming over the HIV-positive Muppet, some people were heard to argue that Muppets don't have bodily functions

    The most attrocious horrific Muppet item ever!

    Why is it that the more I read this thread, the more I wonder if it was a co-incidence that I found it directly under the one about Michael Jackson? :)

    Have the exclusives jumped the shark?

    Ok, even though the fish tie was my idea to start with, I'm thinking that maybe a more appropropriate variation on the 'tuxedo' theme for Lew Zealand would be to give it a frilled collar, like the one that Lew wears on his regular costume. Ken pllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllease...
