    For the 1st Time - BRAND NEW "MUPPETS" at BUILD a BEAR Workshop 2012!

    I honestly don't care, but my biggest fear is that one day, someone's going to pull me aside and say, "uh... you're going to have to step out or we're going to call the police, sir." Plus, I don't like the image of having to fight off a 5 year old to use the stuff machine when I can just...

    What's in store for the Muppets in 2012 article

    If we're going to complain about how the art Roger gave us wasn't slavishly copied from style guides, the discussion ends here. There is NOTHING wrong with a comic book artist's interpretation if its his own style. Sure, the Muppet Robin Hood artist was told to blindly copy Roger, making some...

    For the 1st Time - BRAND NEW "MUPPETS" at BUILD a BEAR Workshop 2012!

    Lemme put it this way... Single almost 30 year old guy alone at Build a Bear= Best case scenario, I look like a Momma's boy/Arrested Development case. And unfortunately, I don't have any younger relatives I could drag with me under the pretense of Babysitting.... point is, I look sad enough...

    Anyone Find The Lack Of Muppet Merch Disturbing?

    Like I said before, it's not us... It's some unknown international market that didn't bite. I don't see why they can't just make another since it did well here... I don't see why one "key" international market is the hold up, since... like I said, Underworld keeps getting sequels and NO ONE...

    The "Can Fraggle Rock make a comeback? What does the show mean to you ?" thread

    Corey was so passionate about all the meddling the script was getting. It very well could have been like that, and I'm sure Regency would skew the film that way. Part of me feels that the Smurfs movie came out of someone sitting at one of the story meetings and writing down every idea Corey...

    Anyone Find The Lack Of Muppet Merch Disturbing?

    That's a start. I would get those, sure. Seems very odd they waited until after the movie for the product push, but I guess that's what the movie was... to relaunch the brand and re-introduce merchandise. Band-aids and Valentines, while not the most impressive things in the world, show that...

    For the 1st Time - BRAND NEW "MUPPETS" at BUILD a BEAR Workshop 2012!

    Heh.. yeah, all Muppet Babies anime style (Toei did the first season, after all). It looks weird in puppet form. Still, I never had any problems with that scene. I bet it has something to do with his Uncle formerly owning the theater that got bulldozed down to make dot. Maybe some sort of...

    Scooter Appreciation Thread For The Most Underappraciated, Disrespected Muppet of Ever

    I don't know if they fully retired the character so much as they didn't consider recasting him for a while, and they just couldn't find a good recast. I say this every time, but I'm stumped as to why they took so long to recast Scooter with David Rudman, since he was recast as a lot of...

    For the 1st Time - BRAND NEW "MUPPETS" at BUILD a BEAR Workshop 2012!

    If Scooter does happen, I'd LOVE to buy one, but I just don't think I could do all that kiddy fun stuff. Is it ridiculous to ask if they sell some er... prestuffed? if I were any good at sewing to make things (I know patch ups... that's it), I'd try to make myself a Scooter Super Hero uniform...

    New Muppet Valentines

    Ah... there's a deluxe set... I was looking for one. You know, some late 90's, early 00's valentines used to come with stickers with the characters, now they just have generic red hearts. I wasted a bunch of Nicktoons ones with Angry beavers and CatDog...

    For the 1st Time - BRAND NEW "MUPPETS" at BUILD a BEAR Workshop 2012!

    It's more like giving the kids an illusion that they created something. It's basically a false sense of having made something crafty. Still, If there was a Scooter, I'd love to see it, but I can't bring myself to be a single guy going into one of those things just to build a Scooter. Even a...

    Studio DC Almost Live DVD

    I think the specials served the purpose of trying to get Disney Tweenybopper fans exposure to the Muppets. It's basically an experiment that was mildly successful if anything... though it basically just got kids who watched those shows to say "YAY! More of the same with stuff we can ignore."...

    Scooter Appreciation Thread For The Most Underappraciated, Disrespected Muppet of Ever

    There was ONE stupid blog that had a very poorly written article about the "Worst Muppets" and he was somehow on the list (with Janice and Robin, which I don't get either... everyone knows the worst is Miss Mousy). I think that's what caused the first poster to make this thread. Outrage of one...

    Disney Pepe Plush

    I don't get why Gonzo has Peter Griffen eyes... but I guess that's easy enough to fix if anyone really has to customize it. But Pepe is just amazing. I'm glad that the only Muppet Plush I got was him.

    Studio DC Almost Live DVD

    I'm not losing any sleep over this one. The Muppets have done just well enough on their own by now that they can move on from this clearly experimental phase. Still, kinda dumb it wasn't released on DVD here yet. I'd much rather have the actual show or Muppets Tonight.

    The Muppets is now the top-grossing Muppet movie

    I think it's done as well as its going to do here. Shame it didn't get that much closer to GMC... it's only about 4 mil behind it... not a lot. Hopefully it can squeeze a little more out of second run theaters by the time it completely disappears.
