Beginning next Tuesday and continuing through Thursday (June 10-12), Henson will be showcasing their upcoming collectibles for the year at the 2003 Licensing Show. Many of the announcements we are already familiar with, however, there are a few nice surprises.

In my opinion, this is the biggest selection of classic Muppet merchandise since the early 1980's. It is truly a great time to be a Muppet collector.

Sounds good, yeah we were joking about whether Sababa would try to do the 8 ball for the Muppets and they are ! LOL !

Noticed the ol'global recognition rating has managed to jump 3 points somehow and nice to see them making a point of acknowledging the 'Classic Muppets' market.

Lets hope they sign up even more new licensee's at the Licensing Show !

I really wish other online stores would start carrying Sabba Muppet related products apart from www.wickcoolstuff.com I really want to order some plushes, especially now that they mention Vets Hospital plushes that means more :flirt: & :sympathy:

I wish they would get their facts straight. They misprinted the series three busts and said that series four Palisades figures were coming out in September. :eek:

But it is a very exciting time. Vet's Hospital plushes. Wow!!!:flirt:

Yeah i guess some U.S channel is gonna screen it or something - could only really explain the licensing interest, though it is distributed a heck of a lot more than anything else Henson around the world.

We'll probably find out about some new 'in development' Henson productions next week too.

That's excellent news--

The new products I'm most excited about are probably the Magic 8 Ball and the Dart Board...

And it's nice to see that Barnes & Noble will have a promotion prominently featuring the Muppets--even if it's just an end cap or a table or something, nationwide that will get millions of people seeing the Muppet products (including the plushes) who would NEVER venture into Hot Topic.

Good move. :crazy:

All this is very cool. Adding in the Muppet Babies promotions in addition to all the stuff mentioned in the article, I can't remember the last time we had such an outpouring of merchandise like this. It truly IS the best time to be a collector. :excited:

The only thing that could make this year better now would be an announcement of a new Muppet production for later this year... :big_grin:

Yeah A Dr. Bob plush! I'm now in space cause this stuff dosen't happen on Earth;-)

It nice about the Muppet Babies promotion as well as i think it will bring in money, I just hope they don't over rule The Muppets,because right now the muppets are shining. We want a new Muppet show, not a new Muppet babie show, but if things go good maybe they could do a muppet/puppet babie show for the younger crowd later on?
