Its funny. I had just resolved myself to paying 100 dollars for him when the price started going up, which is why it is so strange. Its really as if everyone else decided they really wanted him at the same time that I did. But for that much money, forget about it. I wonder if part of it is a...

I happen to like Muppets, too. How strange.

I think your Scooter is right on there now that you mention it. I picked Lips for Manhunter b/c he seems so introverted and strange, like J'onn, though according to the Muppets in Space movie, Gonzo IS an alien. I thought Deadly as Batman because he is the darkest Muppet I could think of, and...

Didn't mean to be obnoxious or a blow hard or anything. I'm obviously a huge nerd that pays attention to that stuff for fun. Sick, isn't it?:cry:

Same here. I get outbid during the last 5 seconds about 75 percent of the time. . .and I just don't have enough money to say, "well, I'll bid 100 dollars over the highest amount at 10 seconds so that I can win!" Also, I open my Muppets up as well, but unlike other action figures, loose Muppets...

That's not entirely true (well, you definitely could lose your life for protesting there. . .). The U.S. COULD, in theory, hurt China by imposing barriers to trade, by forcing cutbacks on foreign direct investment, by building a symbolic international coalition against its wrong-doings, etc. ...

As an aside, I just noticed that a lot of people here don't list their actual residence. . .interesting. Anyway, I live in the south, as you can probably see from my "location," and today was really, really hot. However, less hot than a couple of days ago, when it literally felt like you were...

I was a bit disappointed with Mirrormask, though I don't fault the Henson crew for that. . .I guess that there were high expectations considering it was Neil Gaiman and a type of dream-world.

Y'know, this may be a tad off topic, but. . .Bowie never really frightened me as a kid. In that movie, I was only really scared of those freaky bird-muppets that tried to take Connelly's head off. Just a thought.

I've recently started trying to accumulate Muppet figures after missing them when they were first released, and my first point of order was to get the Palisades Electric Mayhem a little over a month ago. Well, I quickly got all but Zoot, of course. At that time, when I started looking on eBay...

I like Dr. Teeth as Cap b/c it does not fit. . .at all. So, its funny in a Muppets way. Dr. Teeth as a patriot? C'mon! Also, I think some of the other pics are very strange (Scooter as Hawkeye? Floyd as Pym?), but I can't easily think of Muppets with a personalities like those guys, so I...

I keep thinking about the scene in Fight Club where "Jack" talks about his job working for an automobile industry. They know that their cars will explode on impact in certain situations, but "Jack"'s job is, despite this, to calculate the probability of an explosion, the probability of being...

Didn't they produce figures for those construction worker-guys back in the eighties? I seem to remember seeing those as a kid. Obviously, they wouldn't be the same as the Palisades figures, but they would still be cool to have. . .of course, they may not exist. I may well have dreamed up the...

Are any of you are familiar with the early Peter Jackson (the Lord of the Rings trilogy's director) film "Meet the Feebles," which is supposedly a kind of lewd take-off on the Muppets? If so, I have a question. I have not see it thus far b/c I never really wanted to see the Muppets portrayed...

That's terrific news, I'll be pre-ordering that one.

Hello, I've recently acquired a factory sealed Jim Henson Palisades figure and thought I would check to see if anyone here would be interested in trading that for a yellow shirt Zoot figure or a naked :o Rowlf with Backstage set (preferably new in the package, though I would trade for loose...

That's funny, because I pre-ordered the first season from Amazon before it came out, and unless memory fails, it arrived in the mail the day before it was released in the store. I bought season 2 at Target on the release date, though. If you can't wait, you can always buy a copy at the...

They will probably keep creating new characters like Pepe the Prawn, or Clifford, or some other garbage like that. . .but it doesn't bother me to much. So far, in my opinion, of course, any post-Henson Muppet related film or TV work is just not worth watching. I think that Muppets in Space has...

Here is a transcript of an interview that Oz did on Aintitcoolnews, discussing similar such things, but where the interview is given by a guy who clear grew up loving Henson-related things: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/33610

I had a jazz guitarist friend in college who liked him the most b/c he was the most like a real jazz musician (watch those guys on Conan O'Brien, which Electric Mayhem guy do they most resemble?).
