I've ordered from them a lot and then tend to be a little slow, but they also have their Chef figure priced less than any other place I've seen. I am hoping he comes soon though. I've started sculpting some smaller singing food to be in scale with the DST Chef. Already finished a tiny cabbage...

Yes, this is why I like Matt as Kermit. His Kermit is more like the lovable prankster of TMS that only got frazzled when things really went wrong. He use to be able to hold his own against Piggy in an argument and had no problem telling other characters when he thought their acts were bad. In...

Apparently Jim Henson planned on the two to break up, even announcing it publicly with the intention of doing a publicity campaign called "Pig in the 90's". The break up announcement was 6 days prior to Jim Henson's passing and was of course over shadowed and then dropped altogether as if it...

The Muppets Wizard of Oz was basically a transition piece that was already in the works before the sale. It was still pretty much a JHC piece but with some Disney influence via scripte changes. I think that is why it was such a weird movie.

Cause they fired and stripped him of his ability to perform characters he did for decades.

I think i agree, at least smoother than Steve Kermit voice starting in the 2000's. Also i like that Matt does have Kermit talk with a disgusted face like Steve started to do in the last few years he performed the character.

I agree. It reminded me of old school muppet appearances. I like when frog jokes are minimal.

Never mind, answered my own question: Side Effects May Include It was cute. Kermit was in character. Puppets eye focus was a little wonky though.

Are the segments posted online?

Yep. I was 19 and doing nothing with my life and asked Ken if i could sculpt something for the line. He said to go ahead and do it and if he liked it he would use it. At the time I was doing sculpey custom figures that were ok, but far from professional quality. I worked day and night on a...

Unfortunately no. I made it specifically to be produced multiple times specifically due to people saying they wanted one. Even 4 years later people here, on Tough Pigs, and on "The Muppet Collection Page" said they liked it, wanted one, and said it was reasonably priced. Normally a high...

Id rather see a thread get bumped than a section die off. These boards arent dead, but they arent terribly active either. Its more or less the same people posting in the same threads, often not Muppet related. Bumping an old thread is ok by me. But yes, spam of any kind is annoying. Heck...

The service launches in approx 1 year. If there is still going to be a Muppet Show i would guess we would hear official word of it starting to film 6 to 3 months prior to the service going live. We already know about the clone wars show, but that is 3d animated so it takes more time to develop...

The fact they mentioned the shooting within the black friday story is terrible. It was like a foot note. They should have at least separated the two stories. This was the first black friday in 10 years that I did not work retail. I didn't even attempt to leave the house as I am right next to...

The diamond Select line is on life support, but it ain't dead yet. Diamond just posted on their facebook that the Swedish Chef should be hitting comic shops this Wednesday. So anyone waiting to buy it in person, is comic book shops, is Chef figure, is time!

Having worked retail, I've noticed that Halloween decorations don't sell as much as they use to, though they still do ok. Christmas decorations sell much more. Generic fall decorations, like those one would use for Thanksgiving, are few and far between. In my neighborhood the only holiday I...

Why should they be with Disney no matter what? You'd rather the Muppets be with Disney and do nothing than, say, be sold to Dreamworks and start making content again? Disney owning the Muppets feels nice. The idea that they will have financial support and longevity is great. But that is not...

Disney needs to do with the Muppets what they did with Power Rangers. Just let them go to a company that actually wants them. They simply do not fit the Disney brand and will never bring in the billions of dollars required for Disney to care about them. At this point I'd rather see them be...

Will the DVD have an extended directors cut?

I think that Thanksgiving has been diminished over time in part for political correctness and in part because it's not as special as it use to be to have a big meal. It's no longer PC to glorify the founding of the country due to the violence associated with it (kind of like Columbus Day)...
