    What's Your Ninja Name?

    well, it is NOW... actually, i just really LIKE it here, the people are friendly, and a "good" sense of humor is appreciated. besides, i spend 8 hours a day behind a comp telling people to do the same things over and over...i need SOMETHING to break the monotony...and this fills the bill...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    yes, i agree...Transformers are the ONE license that ranks above the Muppet toys for me right now... i'd love to have some of the stuff that isn't exactly the Transformers themselves, though. (keep your eyes and ears open, if i can get Hasbro, or even Takara themselves to return my...

    BTW, if i remember the story correctly, part of the reason for the Star Wars "variants" was because Hasbro was using 3 different overseas factories...and we've all seen Ken's reaction to the factories... (i wish they had a toy factory here in Indy...i would SO apply to work there...we've got...

    i agree that they are not part of the line, and the whole "Kermit in Lunchbox" thing just makes my head hurt, but i can at least see where they're coming from... to a lot of people, collecting is all about having what no one else does. even i'm victim to it sometimes ("Invisible" Space...

    Question about production of Muppet Action Figures...

    wasn't the Luck Dragon in Neverending Story made by Henson? or what about the one from the Storyteller?

    only when writing an actual review... it's seriously funny to watch me drafting a toy review. first i write it. then i check for spelling. then i find my grammatical errors. then i redraft, fixing those grammatical errors and usually changing the entire piece in the process. then i check...

    I will indeed "back you up" on this point. One person's mistake should NOT be another person's variant! The problem (as I see it) is this: Back when the Star Wars toys were at the peak of their popularity, they were putting out so much stuff, from so many different factories, that an...

    while i do think that Muppet Babies pretty much became a stain on the Muppet name, there are a lot of people out there...ones who are NOT the purists that some of us (me included) are. so from a business standpoint, it makes sense to me to have some of the Muppet Babies make their way into the...
