Off the Rack: The Ultimate Retro Collection

We're back with another "Off the Rack" installment where we take a look at Muppet references in magazines and newsstands. 

Today, we look at the UK magazine "The Ultimate Retro Collection," which celebrates everything 80's. 

First off, if the title isn't familiar fear not, this is a collectors special edition magazine and not an issue of an ongoing periodical. 

Despite the complete lack of Muppets on the cover, there's a surprising amount of Muppet/ Henson love inside. 

As part of their top 100 80's movies, Labyrinth came in at 76. That's more then a little disappointing especially considering that no other Muppet, Henson, or Sesame Street films made the list.  

Later in the issue however, they give two page shout-outs (only 1 page is seen here) to both Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock. 

It's interesting that they give these two shows major shout outs, but none of the Muppet movies, specials, or even The Muppet Show itself. 

The magazine is worth buying, but since it's an import and a special release, the price tag is a bit high. It's definitely worth looking through to see the rest of their Henson coverage.

You can get an idea of what else is included by watching Retro Gamer's video review of the magazine below:

You can find it at Amazon, and at Barnes and Noble locations.
