    What is the Koozebane

    Actually TimeLife tends to run a lot of cable commercials for their releases. I kept waiting for the full half hour infomercial, but all I ever saw were the 60 second ones ("If you order in the next half hour you can get the first two tapes for only $9.95") Isn't there something that measures...

    regular figures...mega sized...what about minis?

    I'm not seeing it quite as conflict as different perspectives. From a marketing angle, you can't really compare the two shows. Simpsons have had a regular presence on TV for at least the past ten years. They have new weekly shows and are syndicated, showing 2-3 times a day based on your...

    Muppet Channel?

    I kind of like Recess...the movie was very funny with a lot of lines put in there for grown-ups too. (Very Henson-like) I guess you have to look at it as cartoon makers trying to have their shows be relevant to world of the typical target viewer. Probably some copy-cat syndrome going on too...

    What is the Koozebane

    Well, the visibility of the Pepe LJS commercials, the Hollywood Squares appearances, the Denny's commercials, the Weezer video, the Time Life releases, and to it's limited extent, the Nascar promotion certainly couldn't have hurt.

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Man, you'd think people don't read through all 170+ pages of this thread before posting... ;) Palisades would love to be able to do movie related characters but it wasn't in their original agreement. Hopefully with the line doing well, and the initial approval they got for VS Fozzie, that...

    And of course Luke is the resident peacenik! His posts can never be misinterpreted to offend anyone! ;)

    Janice Figure Bumped from Wave Four?

    Personally, I'm just going to think of it has her being able to sleep in longer...she doesn't seem like the typical morning person anyway!

    invisible beaker with flaw

    How horrible! Those people are getting paid in a foreign currency? Truly barbaric. Actually most factory workers in Asia are paid pretty well compared to the national average (their nation, not ours). Some factories even offer educational opportunities for their workers. If it wasn't for...

    How hardcore are you?

    Well, I got a kermit plush on my monitor, and I'm using my applause Kermit mug, and I used to wear my watch (it just needs a new band), but I suppose the most hard core thing would be "Never Before, Never Again" as my wedding song... can I count? I wanna be hard core...

    Will there ever be a Muppet-themed restaurant?

    For some reason I always pictured that seen from Restaurant at the End of the Universe with Gladys the Cow... Our specials today are Lobster Banditos, Dickens' Apples, talking cake, and Pete's Bowl of Soup...with spoon! :)

    WOOHOO!!!! My Club Package Arrived!!!!

    It could be that Peter has shipped 70, and has another 150 packed or mostly packed or whatever, and there are still more to be filled next week. I'm not sure if Palisades wants to divulge the club size... I think the "first 500" came from someone guessing what the bonus was. Or perhaps they...

    Speaking of muppet babies....

    A lot of the other questions were answered, but yes, I would consider the Muppet Family Christmas appearance the same group as the ones in Muppets Take Manhattan. (This is one of the oft-edited appearances in later releases of MFC) These I would expect to be produced with the same "felt"...

    Sesame Street Character Test

    I too am Elmo just barely (Ernie side) I wonder if it's a trait of Oscars and Berts not to take these tests, or at least not post about them! :)

    Speaking of muppet babies....

    I'd be concerned about either MB or SS. While I would love to have a Palisades line of Sesame figures (and I think there was a wish list forum going for a while), part of what has been so great about the Muppet Show line is the accessories. I would worry about these having to be cut out of the...

    Palisades Series 3 pics are on-line!

    Also different surfaces hold color differently. Matching a felt shade to a plastic shade can't be easy. Still, they should compare the figure to screen shots, not just the actual Muppet.

    No, no...he's likely had a bath since the whole shrink wrap incident and now smells minty fresh and therefore can't have the phrase applied to him... :)
