Late Night "Muppet Show" Capsule!

Late last night, after ABC premiered The Muppet Show, Muppets Studios and Mickey's of Glendale released a capsule of products tied to the special.

This "Most Celebrational" release consisted of shirts, a hat, pins and more!

Short sleeve shirts for both kids, men, and women:

Long sleeve shirts:

A hoodie with a raised "Muppet Show" logo:

A Muppet Show hat, plush Kermit keychain, and Armadillo sticker. 

Ringer tee featuring Bunsen and an eyeless Beaker, and one of the more strange items - a Beaker eye stress ball:

And of course, pins featuring Kermit, Miss Piggy in a toga, Gonzo in his stunt attire, Fozzie wearing his thinking cap, Bunsen & Beaker with eyeballs, Statler & Waldorf in their balcony, and Kermit's tea cup and banjo all with a limited edition size of 750. 

If you missed out, don't feel bad, Disney dropped the link at 1AM EST. I'm pretty sure they meant to set it for 1PM by accident.

As of this post the pins and some of the larger size shirts are sold out but there is still many other items available using this link.  

"The Dark Crystal" 3-CD Limited Edition Soundtrack!

La-La Land Records and The Jim Henson Company present an expanded 3-CD soundtrack set of composer Trevor Jones’ original motion picture score to The Dark Crystal. 

From LaLaLand Records: 

The Dark Crystal was a boundary-exploding feat of puppetry and cinema, re-inventing what had been previously thought possible and resulting in a breathtaking achievement of immersive world-building that still retains its power and wonder to this day. A vital part of this endeavor’s success is composer Trevor Jones’ outstanding original music score – a tremendous accomplishment that has also stood the test of time.

Now, for the first time ever, this deluxe 3-CD release, conceived, assembled and produced by Trevor Jones himself, features the bounty of music the maestro composed for the initial, longer cut of The Dark Crystal, in its original intended order. Copies of the master tapes recorded at CTS Wembley were digitized along with the composer’s entire body of work, which is now archived at the University of Leeds. Jones personally reassembled and remastered the audio at Abbey Road for this special presentation.

Produced by Trevor Jones and Tim Greiving, and mastered by Andrew Walter under the composer’s sole supervision and approval, this release includes a wealth of previously unreleased music within its newly Expanded Score Soundtrack presentation, which is spread across two discs, while the original 1982 soundtrack program is featured on Disc 3. Limited to 5000 units, this deluxe set includes a 32-page booklet containing exclusive, in-depth liner notes by Greiving (featuring new interviews with Trevor Jones and Frank Oz) and rare artwork and photos from the Henson Archive. The sharp art design is by Dan Goldwasser.
