Honest? I think it's awful. Way too many forums makes it look cluttered and like an endless maze. Most of the time people generally have no idea or don't care who owns what so it seems pointless to group the properties by company and it only complicates things. Majority of people are 'Muppet...

No i just meant including a gurney and brain sucking machine with the regular figure, not a full blown playset.

Obviously i meant excluding the Sesame characters, i meant the "Jim Henson's Muppets" brand (Fraggle, Classic Muppets, Muppet Babies etc). The Henson's don't have creative control - they just have a development contract where they advise Disney for 4 years and a production contract where they...

I would love to see a front stage, even more than the backstage personally - although the backstage is great. There's just something about the Muppet Show stage with the arches, curtain, statler & waldorf in the box.

I think the playsets have just been too risky for them, Ken said that they aren't even doing them for the new licenses. It'd be cool if the mini-environments could be used for that kinda thing. I thought Dr Phil should have really had one.

I don't think it's about the end of the line, more about things being slow at retail. They've set up www.palisadesdirectstore.com so they can start putting out things directly. It's probably at the point where most people buying them are the hardcore collectors and Palisades don't have access...

Ken has kinda said it multiple times. Sales aren't as great as they would like and it looked like retail line could end at S10. On a positive note S8 sales have been better than expected but fewer figures were manufactured. Right now the collectable action figure industry is about to go into...

Bear in mind that what the Henson kids say in press releases is usually very carefully constructed to make everybody feel great about what they have done. It's easy for them to say this is the "perfect" home and this is what Jim would have wanted. The fact is that JHC had money and business...

I don't collect them but i saw all of them on display together at a trade show. They look stunning as a display piece although at the original MSRP are far too expensive for what they are. It's cool that deals are starting to emerge so that at least people can pick up their favorites!

Ah, cool! Thanks Wiggy!

Nice reviews and very nice photos. I have to ask who is Greg on the forum? The name doesn't ring a bell.

Here it is :- Ken, any chance the Swedish Chef can have a repaint in Series 9 to have a light blue shirt and/or explosion/mess stains a la Culinary Catastrophe? AIP. When i posted earlier i thought he had said something more than this but still, it was wierd he gave that an 'Anything...

Ken said something, one of the last answers in the questions thread that got closed i think. I've definitely heard it from him although it wasn't a direct confirmation - i'll find it. As for the Beaker they were looking at doing a post-experiment signature style one in the regular line but who...

It shouldn't be a problem because Chef has a lot of mainstream appeal so people other than the usual figure collectors should want him. If it was someone like Clifford or Marvin i could see your poiny but the Swedish Chef is known and loved by all. Obviously not everybody would prefer a new...

The second show depends on the pilot being commisioned into a series. Yeah the DVD is good value - 26 season one episodes plus the 1 unaired pilot. That's only a dollar an episode !

I know what you mean but who cares what the site looks like? They have taken on the exclusive for us (which nobody else was prepared to do), they have good service (so i hear), they ship promptly (so i hear) and everything is packed carefully. They haven't ripped people off on the price either.

The 4 Disc DVD box set will come out on August 10th. It contains all of the episodes from Season One, an unaired Pilot and the first seasons gag reel. Amazon have it on pre-order for about $27

Thanks for typin it all out Aerosmith !! I also think it's the Muppet Theater. It could be loads of other things though, the Holiday figure has been kept under wraps for so long and is supposed to be amazing.

Happy McBirthday McFraggle!!!
