[Kermieuk]

UPDATE, There is now a media player on the site and it is playing a new Fraggle Rock Theme remix. With the player you can basically play/pause and adjust the volume? Hopefully we'll see more updates soon.

So, will this be a clothing line with Fraggle tagging on it, or will it be a fraggle-inspired line of "unbranded" clothing? If the latter, I'm all in! I was already looking to Fraggle Rock to make some custom outfits and clothing as it was!

[Fozzie Bear]

I saw this online today (MSN.com) and posted about it on my website:

If you click the image it opens bigger and you can read what it says in the screen capture.

I'm not crazy about Paris Hilton either, but yeah- I just saw that and was about to post it. It's nice to see Red making an appearance somewhere!:excited:

[Drtooth]

Paris Hilton? Sheesh... I know the Fraggles refer to humans as "Silly Creatures" but they don't come much sillier than that. :p


(Something tells me I'm gonna need to work 15 jobs to get one T-shirt once this line comes out, lemme tell yah!)

[wembleyfraggle]

What! K, I don't care what freak star is with Red! ITS RED! In public! Also! http://www.drdoozer.com/ is now open!

It made my night seeing Allison Janney holding a new Gobo plush. The Fraggle Five are now all together again in plush form! And I totally want that van! :coy:

What? Where are you looking?:smirk:

[frogboy4]

Their photo section under news. It's under Guest photos. Takes some clicking, but the photo I'm talking about is the last one in that set. :excited:

[Drtooth]

I saw some of them.. they look cool and all, but I am NOT loving the 45 dollar per shirt price tag. I'm glad for the line, but I just HATE designer clothes being exclusive retailers fro cartoon T-shirts I'd buy in a heartbeat otherwise.

I just hope that there's a nice line of general public T-shirts that I can get at Kohls for cheap.

Really... all it takes is one bleach stain, and you've got a 45 dollar rag. :smirk:

What...you saying you don't like 245% toy and shirt markups at trendy stores like Urban Outfitters? :p

As far as silly creatures...Pee Wee, Emo Phillips, Crispin Glover,
etc are silly creatures...
Paris Hilton is a creature that needs to go to a clinic.

[frogboy4]

The Tees are attractive. I don't think they should pass the $30 mark, but that's Los Angeles for you. Sababa did such a great job with their mini Fraggle plush line that there's no excuse for these mushy-looking ones from Dr. Doozer. I'm glad something is being made and hopefully the quality will improve as the marketplace catches up with the Fraggle brand. :coy:

Seriously, it's like I'm the ONLY one in the generation that can't actually afford that stuff.

Plus, I live in morbid fear of the dreaded bleach stain. I lost several very good shirts I only wore once or twice that way.

I don't think Dr. Doozer is doing the plush... just the shirts. They're meh at best, and Red does look decent... but she's the most simplistic to design of the bunch. No subtlety in the nose. Only problem I ever had with Sababa's FR plush was the fact they couldn't get retail support for Mokey and Traveling Matt (releasing them annually wasn't a good idea either). Really, they were just fabulous looking.

That said, these 25 dollar FR plush are still better looking than the 250 dollar Germain Mohair Kermit. Steif completists... mumble mumble.

Bleach stain? eep. It bugs me no end how many of the "retro" shirts at hot topic, kohls, etc are "intentionally faded".

I HAAAATE this trend. I purposefully buy two shirts to keep one mint, and the other i use woolite. I have video game shirts from the late 1980's that still fit and still look pretty good. Why would I want to pay 20-30 dollars for intentionally faded shirts? ugh.

Haha, yeah the Steif kermits are in that vain of crazy expensive kermit and piggy porcelain/egg stuff Michael Jackson bought.

And while I know it bothers people when I say I don't feel the replica muppets look like the real posers we see in promo images, they are a heck of a lot better deal than that hoity toity rich stuff.

What reallllly excites me? The idea of cheap $3-5 dollar Muppet figures and figurines at Disney stores someday.

I can't say I'm a fan of that one either... but really... I had this GREAT Ernie and Bert T-Shirt I only wore once, and it got Bleach on it, and I NEVER lived it down. I got it cheap, but I REALLY REALLY liked it, and could never get it again.

I really take pride in my T-Shirt collection, and I am proud of the diverse cartoons, Muppets and the occasional Sitcoms I have on them. That's one reason I hate winter... I have to cover these all up with coats. A bleach stain on it from someone else's carelessness always ticks me off. I should get 2 of each shirt, and all... but I would rather get many different shirts. it's a money and space issue for me.

Of course, ones that really mean something to me I never wear. I have a great "Weird Al" shirt from when I saw his Running with Scissors tour that I would never want to put in any sort of jeopardy by wearing it out, bleach stains... etc.

Yeah in a way the glut of "hip retro/obscure/geek" t shirts takes the fun out of when you *do* find some rare promo or long out of print shirt. I remember having a Johnny The Homicidal Maniac shirt and nintendo promo shirts long before hot topic started carrying that stuff.

Im like you, if a shirt is really rare I tend not to wear it out. Though I've kind of abandoned wearing tshirts all together, and mostly wear snazzy dressshirts with a plethora of kooky off beat skinny ties.

But...my friend *did* surprise me with this shirt I love:

Also, that's why I ONLY use woolite for my clothes

[frogboy4]

What's with this excess of bleach? I haven't used the stuff in years, but I don't wear many whites.

I like the vintage look, but it can be taken too far and mar the quality of the print rather than provide style. It's all in how the designer pulls it off. The shirts are cool-looking. Still, they don't need to be so complicated. A simple neatly printed image of the character with the t-shirt as background is all that's really required. In fact, that usually works best! :coy:

That's the worst part... I DON'T use Bleach... it just sort of... happens when someone else uses it. I'd be just slightly ticked that i ruined a favorite shirt... but I'm pretty annoyed when someone else's leftovers splatter on it, or something.

[Fozzie Bear]

I'm tired of only being able to find shirts that are designed to look distressed, or with characters performing out of their personality traits, like gangsta Popeye. Why can't designers just give us characters behaving normal on good quality shirts?

This is EXACTLY how I feel. All I want is some good Henson related shirts, that portray the characters in the manner that made me love them in the first place. Having Kermit and Fozzie dressed as rappers and stuff like that is not what I want. The "old school" look I don't mind so much.... it's not my preference, but if I have a Sonic the Hedgehog shirt I can slip on, then I'll take it. Sadly, I haven't seen many Muppet related shirts like that that I like either. I'd give anything for a shirt of just Wembley or Sprocket... the way they are meant to be. I don't want to go out in a shirt and have people assume I'm wearing it because it's hip, rather than because I love the characters.

[bazooka_beak]

350 euros for the Fraggle sweater? They're crazy! I could never afford this stuff.

[dwmckim]

Really! I have NEVER seen characters behaving normal on a shirt. They just pose with a smile. If they were acting normally on a shirt, they should be panicking and waving their arms and shouting "NO - NOT THE IRON!"

[Drtooth]

You have NO idea how much that made me laugh, man! :D

Yeah, the Gansta type behavior, giving random characters guitars... The difference is you can pop down to Kohls or something and grab a Popeye Gangsta shirt for 10 bucks... these are almost 50. But then again, the purpose of these things is just to look cool for people with a LOT of disposable income who kinda sorta remember the "Fribbles" and think the shirts are cool because the things cost so much. You know, the kind of person that waits in line all night to buy a lumuted edition T-Shirt at Johnny Cupcakes or something... how I loathe those sorts of places. If I wanna pay top dollar for clothing, I'm going to look NICE... get a good suit, nice shoes...

[Fozzie Bear]

"NO - NOT THE IRON!"

or, "No, no--not the bleach; it'll make me disappe..."

[Drtooth]

"Stupid lady washes colors in warm water! Oooohhh, I'm sure to fade now!"

[Fozzie Bear]

Now, don't be a gender-ist. I wash my colors in warm water, too! Wait, I wasn't s'posed to?

[Drtooth]

It was a quote from the TV show "Space Goofs." I'm not surprised no one got the reference.
