Praise be! Muppet news is scarce these days, but this is something Ive been wanting for awhile. Sure, this wont be the first time Muppets have graces a US postage stamp(remember Big Bird? And didnt Rowlf have his own stamp in the 80's?) but man...a whole sheet of Muppet stamps with JH himself...a truly special occation. This is another significant win in the battle to get the Muppets back out there and acknoleged.

Hooray! What awesome news! I've never really collected stamps, but I'll probably have to buy at least one sheet to preserve and many many to send. They'll look great with my Sesame Street address labels!

Way to go Muppet Central for coordinating the postage stamp nomination campaign a few years back. This is significant news that The Muppets will have an entire set of stamps rather than just a single design.

Oooo that's so awesome! I definitely want a set. I wonder what Muppets (other than Kermit, Fozzie, and Piggy) are gonna be featured!

Again, I really feel this is a good start at trying to get the Muppets back into the public eye...and this is a *great* thing as part of the Muppets 50th annv.

Oh, how awesome! I'm a big stamp collector, and it's about time I had some Muppet stamps to add to the collection! I love the Disney frienship stamps they've got out right now. I hope they do as nice a job with the Muppets. They certainly deserve it!
