First of all, lemme tell ya all how excited I am to be part of this message board. I have been looking in my area for Muppet-folk who at least, in part, share my passion for Muppets and Muppet action figures. 
Many of you know of (I assume here, correct me if I am wrong) Twisted Toyfare Theater and if you don't, get out and buy issues of Toyfare and read it cause it's funny as... Heck. Anyway, it's styled like a 4-5 page comic book which, instead of drawings, utilizes carefully positioned action figures (Mego dolls mostly) and positions word blurbs over their heads and stuff so there's a story. Anyway, the story uses bastardized versions of the characters personalities and puts them in strange and unusual situations, which is fine by me.
My idea is to do this with Muppet figs and put my creation on the internet. I already have MOST of the Muppet figs (Animal and Electric Mayhem soundstage has eluded me so far, but there ya go) and a vast collection of toys since I was a lad. I have sculpted a Sweet-Ums over a GI-Joe doll (Have yet to sew him an outfit as I have not found the perfect fabric) and other various props/ mini-Muppets (fruit, fish, working on some penguins with limited articulation). Also I am working on a scale model of the backstage area of the show but I need a REALLY good set of pics for this to assist me (if anyone is listening and cares, I sure would appreciate those pics).
My version of Twisted Muppet Theater will pretty much keep to the personalities of the characters but have them in odd situations. It will deal less with skits and more with their personal lives (Actually buying a construcable dollhouse or two for their actual homes). So yeah, I really want to turn this into something great but may need pics from time to time that I could search for on my own or recruit others to assist me with.
Anyway, what do you folks think of this idea??? I know it's hard to judge without having seen any product yet, but it's still mostly in the planning stages.
By the way Phil, thanks for clearing my email so I could join you mugs here...
