Mega Beaker review

[Michael Crawford]

Since it's been a week since I had any updates, I thought I'd cover a bunch in one shot.

There's a new review up at MROTW for Mega-Beaker, the 13" version of Palisades uber-cool Muppet. He has the same great sculpting of the original, along with excellent articulation, and none of the recent paint ops problems, but he's short on accessories - like none. See the whole review at:

There's also a new feature up there that covers my favorite lines from Toy Fair this year. Muppets is in there too of course! Check that one out under the New Feature button, and let me know what your favorites were.

I did a Toy Fair Diary over at Movie Poop Shoot that covered the big snow fall of 2003. I have pictures there as well of some of the less known lines - http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/toybox/index.html

And finally, there's a new article about my collection and collecting in general in today's print version of the Toledo City paper. If you don't live in NE Ohio, you can see the article at:

I like that newspaper article...good to see some local interest..good picture too!

Too bad they quoted the bad parts about the muppet series 3, though...

More photos?

I've got some more photos of the Muppets stuff that I didn't use in either article - do you want me to post them to this thread to see?

More pictures...

Okay, here's another dozen photos of the Muppets from Toy Fair. Some of these I used in one of my two articles, but most of them are new. Even if they were used, like at Poop Shoot, these versions are larger with more detail:

I didn't post the picture right in this thread, since they are large and would cause the thread to take forever to load. Just click on the links, and be a little patient with each photo. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing those with us Michael. Great stuff!

 

[Walker Boh]

Thank you

Great photos! I can see a lot more of the texturing and articulation (on the characters that have it at this point) than in any other Toy Fair photos I've come across.
