    Latest Newswire Update on Henson Co.

    Cosgrove/Hall? I know of them. They did that real nice "Wind in the Willows series back in the 80's. Actually I just got a few episodes of that the other day as well as their version of the original story. Nice little series. Nut I wouldn't have thought them a bog enough company to be...

    Christopher Cerf

    Yes, he's part of the BTL creators along with Noman Stiles and Micheal Frith. Incidentally, if you look at the bottom of the screen after the BTL credits when the Sirius thinking logo comes up, it says "For Jim, Jon, Jeff, Joe, Jeanne, and Ted" That's Henson, Stone, Raposo, Moss, Jeanne is an...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. I understand your disapointment and frustartion, but personally it sounds like a silly reason to NOT buy an action figure, but that's just me. If you like a figure or a series of figures, you buy it. if not, then you don't. Oh well! Your loss I guess...

    Can you dye foam?

    Yeah, it dpends on the foam. I've never acatully worjed with the reticulated foam the Muppets use. It does take the dye but doesn't take it well. I think you have to treat it (with salt I believe) and that should help. The commercialy available stuff that you get at like a joaAnn's or a rag...

    Puppet help needed

    Dr. Teeth is sculpted from a sheet foam. I saw him up close in an exhibit once and he is beautiful!! I think I have a good close up shot of him somewhere around that may make it easier to explain. Oj and seomthing else about Dr. Teeth, and this is true for a few other muppets too, he's no...

    Fraggle Rock DVD Petition

    Getting back to the John Lennon thing (kinda), has anyoen noticed that signature 1110 is Jeff Moss. That threw me for a second. but that probably is someone named Jeff Moss so it is possible that John Leenon is in fact someone named John Lennon. Still I thought it was kinda neat/odd...

    Attack of the clones

    Saw it loved it. I can see a few places where critics wouldn't like it. Although I actually read one review where the author said "Fans will love it! Critics are gonna hate it!So ignore everything we say." And then he went on to slam it. Yoda was great. In fact, it was a real departure for...

    Puppet help needed

    I would suggest getting a copy of "The Foam Book" It's available at www.puppeteers.org and a few other places in the net. It's one of the best books on making soft-sculpture puppets. You can get commercailly avaliable scotch foam at just about any Jo-Ann's or Rag Shop. It's best to work with...

    Do you want a Pepe figure in series 6?

    I'm inclined to agree with Scott and Zoot/Dingo that if I knew certain others were set in stone than I would feel more comfortable with it. I also agree that it wold feel a little odd putting Pepe in a TMS line. But I could understand putting him in a "Muppets" line. I hink what a lot of us...
