    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    There were plush they unveiled last year, but for some reason said they would release them closer to the movie. I'm guessing they entered them last year because they initially thought the movie would have been in production by then.

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    I never liked the term "Global Warming." It implies the entire world will get warmer. Now, I don't want any debate about its existence, and if it is man made or natural or both... but global "warming" creates extremes on both sides, be it well above normal temperatures one day or well below...

    Is Sesame Workshop the only of the main companies required to do a trademark credit?

    NOT necessarily. Certain products have them on it (they were negotiated and have copyrights). The Slinky Dog Pez dispenser for one. And I've noticed quite a few other things with the Potatoes, Ken and Barbie and Slink in them. However, the glaring difference is the Mattel line. It wouldn't...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Those were GOOD, though. Well, I'm not a hufge SBTB fan, but I enjoyed it to an extent... but Keenan and Kel? Sigh, I still lament the day they split up. And Kel's like only the token black in SNL! He's like the most talented guy on there now. Even Stevens was pretty good though. Caught...

    Documentary on Filmation Founder

    Oh, I do love the 80's and all (Ducktales, Ninja Turtles and Inspector Gadget came out of that era, you know... plus, internationally, Kinnikuman and Dragon Bll... the GOOD one)... the 70's tick me off (at least here... I LOVE Yatterman), and mostly because Hanna Barbera's self ripoffs of...

    Muppet Show Season 4 coming in 2013

    Blu Ray wouldn't add or detract from anything else, and that theory is definitely NOT why this is delayed. Not every TV show is released in that fashion. And re-releasing the others to fit some fadget is not why we had an extra year wait. That said, moderators take notice... this thread...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    That's all well and good... but let's not get too disappointed if the rarest character is Telly, and there's no major hint to if they make him or not yet. Toyfair's a few days away, we might have some great surprises or some massive disappointments. But danggit... I wanna see a Sesame 2 pack...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Yeah, I wouldn't say "hog" by any means. I'd say you're all welcome to the dangerous, icy grey leftovers we have. But it's not like anyone has control of the weather by any means. That's like having a drought in one place and a series of flash floods and another and blaming the guy who lost...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    Like everything else, it depends on how well they do. And I hope they do gang busters. The better they do, the more chances they'll toss a few fan faves in the line. I really hope to see AT LEAST a bunch of current characters that are on relatively every episode that have yet to be made into...

    Are records making a comeback?

    CD's spoiled me, but really... Looking back I HATE cassette tapes. Even more than I hate the restrictiveness of VHS. If you want to skip songs, you have to fast forward and rewind to get to the right spot... the sound gets pretty muddy when the tape gets old enough... and if there's a slight...

    Documentary on Filmation Founder

    I find Filmation to be a fascinating studio. not just for what they've done or their products, which is amazing in and of itself, but it seems that everyone who worked there either praised the studio and felt thankful for the opportunities they had or completely hated the restrictive nature and...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    Suffice to say, I've seen a LOT of chubbsy wubbsy 3 pairs sitting on the shelves. Some of the stuff they release is only for obsessive compulsive completists. But then again, variants of the main stars always do well, even though they've covered EVERY scene everyone has ever been in. I wonder...

    Your Thoughts: "Pioneers of Television" with Jim Henson

    That show seemed to be on there because they wanted to have a constant theme. It's interesting, and I wish I saw it, but it's a shame they didn't devote more time to other things. Then again, there's clearly some stuff they either couldn't get the rights to or doesn't exist anymore. Still...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Did you get 70+ inches of snow with most of it permanently frozen to the ground because you haven't had a week of consecutive temperatures above freezing since December? :eek: I'm not even talking 90's or any of that. Fifties would be great. Heck, Forties at this point seems refreshing...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    Puppeteers are COMPLETELY out of the question, as is Kermit, who is a Disney character now. Actually, even when the Sesame Street Muppet copyright was owned by Henson, the only Kermit toy made from Sesame Street was Magic Singing Kermit from Tyco and even on the toy he was billed as "Guest...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    Historically, I'd say no. In all the years of Sesame Street toys, there were only 2 instances of human characters in toy merchandise. Fisher Price little people and the Elmo's world Figurine and Plus assortment They didn't actually have exact likenesses... the LP figures are basically the...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    Yes, but There are 2 things about it that bug me. 1) Disney has been distancing themselves from that, knowing that it is indeed profitable and keeping it up, but not as to turn everything into a commercial for those shows specifically. In fact, walk into a Disney Store. Other than some music...

    A NEW ThunderCats cartoon in 2011!

    I... uh... guess I should tell you the thing was in flashback form, and they were talking to him at the beginning saying "He wasn't always this friendly" or something like that. Guess that was an important thing to the flow of the show. But really... "remember to remember stuff kids." Makes...

    The New Movie: The Muppets

    More Cameos Okay, I'm pretty happy with Whoopi and extremely happy with Neil (still wanted him to be the villain, though), but I for one am ticked off by that other one. Really? A Disney Tween Pop star? This is what I was afraid of and rallying against. Disney DOESN'T need to advertise any...

    Hasbro's Sesame line to be unveiled at Toy Fare

    Here's a little of what to expect As you all know, the Mattel license has ended in 2009 or so, and Hasbro picked it up not too long ago. Now, what's really interesting is this quote: I'm crossing my fingers this means Telly and Murray... but even if it's just Cookie, Grover, Count...
