Muppet Fan's Muppet Collection Chronicle: Dre Sayas

Dre Sayas - Hello, and this is my Muppet collection!

This may look like a mess but somehow it all fits in one box.

I own all of the Muppet movies on Blu-ray.

This item is my lunchbox The Muppets Blu-ray collectors set with the steelbook from Best Buy!

Here are my Muppet CDs, A Green and Red Christmas and The Muppet Movie Soundtrack, as well as the two episodes of Studio DC: Almost Live! on burned DVDs.

Then I have the standard Sesame Workshop autographs from the characters.

My movie posters for The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted.

My Muppets Wacky Wobblers!

Funko POP! Vinyl figures: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Dr. Teeth, Mahna Mahna, and two Snowths--because no Muppet fan can only have one! Plus, a Kermit Popcorn Vinylmation.

My Muppets plush!

My Muppet books!

My Palisades Muppet figures and Kermit Rainbow Connection ornament!

And last but not least: the miscellaneous! Kermit PEZ, Kermit headphones, Dr Strangepork Vinylmation and Hot Wheels Electric Mayhem bus!

Well, that's it for my Muppet collection. Thanks for checking it out!

Muppet Fan's Muppet Collection Chronicle: John Papovitch

John Papovitch - Hello there, folks, regular-Mindset-reader-but-rarely-contributor John Papovitch here and well, it took a while but here I am to present some of my favorite things in my Muppet collection. This is far from anything, heck, I had a hard time picking what I wanted to take pictures of, but here's some of the very favorite things I have. So why don't we get things started?

Classic Muppets DVDs

Sesame Street DVDs

Fraggle Rock and other miscellaneous Henson DVDs (no one remind me I'm missing things like Labyrinth and Emmet Otter, I remind myself enough).

Ultimately, most of my Muppet music collection lives as MP3s on my computer though I do have a collection of some CDs.

Books

More books

The best thing about some of these books are the autographs I've gotten in them. These are from The Works.

Steve Whitmire's signature in The Works. 

Autographs in Sesame Street: A Celebration of 40 Years

Marty Robinson's signature in Sesame Street: A Celebration of 40 Years

Sesame Street: A Celebration of 40 Years

Cheryl Henson's signature in It's Not Easy Being Green and Other Things to Consider

For the lack of productions in 2006, Disney still released tons of cool Kermit stuff for his 50th anniversary.

I had some trepidation about taking pictures of my Palisades collection since they were ultimately in the hands of a grubby ten-year old me who probabl>y gave them a bit too much love which resulted in broken parts, lost accessories, paint rubbed off but regardless here are a couple of my favorites.

T-shirts

Rare 1989 Jim Henson Hour lunchbox

Muppet plush

Muppet Fan's Muppet Collection Chronicle: Weston Long

Weston Long - I have been a Muppet fanatic and collector for all of my life, but unfortunately when I was a young, stupid child I managed to give away or sell some of my coolest items simply for having some extra cash in my pocket or the fact that they take up too much room (Four-foot-tall Kermit and Piggy, I hardly knew ye). However, these items I am about to show you have stood the test of time. Most of these are Sesame Street items. I was an avid Sesame Street fan when I was young, with my favorite character being Big Bird. This led to an exchange of letters and then a very close friendship with Caroll Spinney. I am very lucky to know him. Because of this, the basis of my collection is Bird or Sesame-based. 

Photo 1 (DVDs): Here is my DVD collection, with a few glaring absences. What I have here though is TMS seasons 1 and 2, The Muppet Movie, The Muppets Take Manhattan, A Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, Muppets from Space, both DVD releases of It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Henson's Place, both DVD releases of Follow that Bird (signed by Caroll Spinney), A Special Sesame Street Christmas, Elmo's Christmas Countdown, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, A Sesame Street Musical Celebration (signed by Caroll Spinney), Sesame Street Old School Volume 1 (signed by Caroll Spinney), Sesame Street 20 Years and Counting, Sesame Street 40 Years of Sunny Days, Elmo Saves Christmas, Friends to the Rescue (signed by Caroll Spinney), and A Sesame Street Christmas Carol. I lent my copies of Being Elmo and The Muppets to my friend 11 months ago and never got them back... I should replace them at this point.

Photo 2 (Books): My book collection is largely Sesame Street. Here I have Big Bird's Baby Book (signed by Caroll Spinney), My Day on Sesame Street (signed by Caroll Spinney), I Can't Wait Until Christmas (signed by Caroll Spinney), Big Bird's Ticklish Christmas (signed by Caroll Spinney), It's Not Easy Being Green, I'll Miss You Mr. Hooper (signed by Caroll Spinney), Susan and Gordon Adopt a Baby, Sesame Street Unpaved (signed by Caroll Spinney), The Sesame Street Dictionary (signed by Caroll Spinney), Miss Piggy's Guide to Life, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street (signed by Caroll Spinney), Who Was Jim Henson?, Jim Henson The Works, My Life as a Furry Red Monster, Street Gang(signed by Caroll Spinney and Michael Davis) , Street Gang audio-book, The Wisdom of Big Bird (signed by Caroll Spinney), Sesame Street: A Celebration of 40 Years of Life on the Street (signed by Caroll Spinney, Kevin Clash, David Rudman, Leslie Carrara, Joey Mazzarino, Carmen Osbahr, Emilio Delgado, Nitya Vidyasagar, and others), and Big Bird in China. 

Photo 3 (Magazines): Here are two magazines that I like very much. The first one is a 2011 Yankee Magazine with a nice piece about Caroll Spinney, and the second is a 1970 TIME Magazine with Big Bird on the cover, signed by Caroll Spinney.

Photo 4 (Feather): A really cool addition to my collection (forever immortalized in a handmade childhood scrapbook, a la Big Bird Sings!) is a feather from the Big Bird puppet. It's old and has begun to shed, but I am still happy I have it.

Photo 5 (Frame, CD, tie): Here are some miscellaneous stuff. I have a neat Oscar frame that I have yet to find a nice picture for, The Muppets CD (I had many more CDs besides this one, but alas they have been lost to history), and a Sesame Street tie that I wore to my preschool graduation. I bawled when I found out that my graduation gown would cover it, so it was sticking out of my gown during the ceremony. 

Photo 6 (Star Wars): Here is one of my few remaining "toys." My cousin went on a trip to Disney World and was kind enough to bring this back for me. I am forever indebted, as it is really freaking awesome. 

Photo 7 (Suitcases): The majority of my Caroll Spinney memorabilia is stored in these two nifty suitcases that I have had since childhood. Both are signed.

That's my collection! I hope you have enjoyed it!

Peter Valentin - Hi Guys, Peter Valentin here, a life long Muppet Fan and Collector from Australia. I grew up with the Muppets, starting with Sesame Street as it began and followed the Muppets to their own show and subsequent Muppet family spin offs like Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, etc. I am now in my late forties and still just as facinated with them. I have a huge Muppet Memorabilia Collection which I would like to share with you. I have a lot of figures and even neat props.
