    scooter's growth spurt?

    Don't worry about it, no attack taken. I was seriously saying that after seeing those pictures, that you guys were right in your decision to make him the height that you did. Either way, the sculpt is incredible, and he's my favorite figure of the whole line. As far as correcting, or...

    scooter's growth spurt?

    Ya know, I can't dispute those pictures. I stand corrected. I guess it seems to be Henson that has the consistency problems. -Artie

    Series 3 Reviews

    Hey guys, I just got my first set of series 3 yesterday. I say first because I buy multiple sets of each series. One to open, one to keep closed, and a bunch to customize! Anyway, I figured I’d put in my two cents, and give a review from worst to best… Zoot: My least favorite figure of...

    scooter's growth spurt?

    I've seen the Scooter puppet in person, and I have the figure, and I can confirm that he is definitely too big. In fact I'd even go as far as saying that he's kinda...well, giant. The sculpt is perfect as is the paint job , but Scooter is a little guy, and the figure doesn't reflect that at all.

    Have the exclusives jumped the shark?

    I'll get the set, but my fear is that this line is not going to last the years and years that everyone hopes. Therefore, there's a good chance that we'll be left with random variants, like the Bunsen and Beaker tuxes, to put with Kermit Tux, and there'll be no Fozzie, Sam, Scooter in sight. I...

    Have the exclusives jumped the shark?

    Because I seem to remember seeing Scooter in a tux on more than one occassion. While Bunsen and Beaker were only in them in the 30 year celebration. They're just to obscure IMHO. -Artie

    Have the exclusives jumped the shark?

    Ken, You and I have talked about the tuxes many times, so you know my feelings on them. But since they are gonna continue, would it be possible to knock out the ones that "belong" in tuxes first? Such as Fozzie, Scooter, Sam, and the band. Doing Statler and Waldorf (which I agree wouldn't be...

    Carrying Case

    I think the carrying case is a great idea! It could have 12 compartments (3 rows of 4 with peg holes) that the figures stand in, and instead of a vinyl cover to keep them in place, it could have the arches that hold them in. And of course a handle on top for carrying purposes. I'd prefer this...

    Tux Bunsen and Beaker photo!

    To be honest Bunsen and Beaker would have been my last choices for tux versions. I think any of the band, or Fozzie, Scooter, and Sam would have been better choices. But as usual they still look good, and I will purchase them. Just my two cents. -Artie

    Favorite Muppet Figure?

    Favorite series 1 figure : Dr. Teeth Favorite series 2 figure : Fozzie Least favorite figure (after regular Piggy, that's a given): Gonzo Gonzo is the only figure that looks like the cartoon version instead of the puppet version. -Artie

    a great Playset/Figure Set idea?

    I wouldn't count on a Bear on Patrol playset. It just wouldn't sell. In fact, it's my opinion that it would sell less than a Koosebane playset (which has already been scrapped). My votes for the 2004 playsets would be Backstage with Naked Sam and Vets Hospital with Nurse Janice and 2 sets of...

    Character Pack-In Ideas

    I posted this at Palisades as well, but in figured I'd post it here for those of you who don't go there.... Lets play a game. Since Palisades has been so good about taking our suggestions and putting them to good use, lets help them out some more. One of the things I want most from this...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I'm actually kinda glad that Koosebane is canceled. In my opinion, it would have been an inevitable shelf warmer. Also, it being canceld has set a precedent: Koosebane Kermit will have the first character pack-ins. Personally I'll always take a pack-in over an accessory. My opinion is, and...

    MC Radio: It Feels Like Christmas

    There was a new version of "it feels like christmas" with applause at the end that I've never heard before. Where is it from, and where would one get a copy of it? -Artie

    Fozzie's new voice

    John performed Fozzie but was later dubbed for MFS. Eric performed him for the Mastercard commercial and the Christmas movie. -Artie

    International Sesame Muppets on the Macy's Parade

    They were all Henson puppeteers, not all the original performers, but all puppeteers who worked for Henson at one time or another. As far as the foreign characters go, I don't believe any of them were performed by their actual performers. I know of at least a few that were being done by U.S...

    Animal in the Mastercard commercial

    It's funny you say that Quinn, because Steve actually said the exact same thing to me when I complimented him on his Kermit voice. He's too hard on himself, and seems to think that we're just accepting it more. -Artie

    Animal in the Mastercard commercial

    Just out of curiosity, what made you think it was one of those two performers? I'm relatively sure that neither of them even worked on the commercial. Drew works out of L.A. so I think it's rare that he works on any Muppet production that films on the east coast. Also as far as Fozzie goes...

    Sesame Street 1970's ornaments

    The company that made them is called Gorham, and the other two in the set are Big Bird (next to what looks like a tree stump), and Cookie Monster with cookies. You can usually find them on ebay if you type in "sesame ornaments" or "sesame ornament" in the search engine. Hope this helps, -Artie
