He also wrote the books Rainbow: the Stormy Life of Judy Garland, Norman Rockwell's America, and two separate books on artist Chuck Close.

Kidrobot Dinosaurs Phunny Plush!
They’re your average family with one BIG difference… they’re talking dinosaurs living in the year 60,000,003 BC!
Now, thanks to Kidrobot, you can bring home these classic Dinosaurs characters in a "Phunny" plush 3-pack.
The set includes Fran, Earl, and Baby Sinclair.
The Earl plush looks the one Kidrobot was going to include in their unsuccessful Dinosaurs Loot Crate.
Glad to see they found a way to release him anyway.Maybe we'll get the rest of that loot someday in another form as well.
These are available now to pre-order now directly from Kidrobot and should arrive sometime this summer.

Happy April Fools' Day!
Happy April Fools Day!
This year we decided to something a little different. Instead of showing fake products or having a Henson franchise take over the page. We decide to show off real products that, while they aren't part of the official Henson Universe, still have Jim Henson connections.

| Mike Quinn Puppeteering "Roger" |
So while you may have thought our April Fools joke was that we WEREN'T sharing Muppet stuff, we kinda were the whole time!
Happy April Fools Day!
