Yeah it's old news. I wasn't around at the time this happened so not sure whether they are cancelled or just delayed. If the sales pick up hopefully there will be more figures after S10.

No i meant the USA market. The Muppets might seem to fly off the shelves where you are but that could be due to the stores not actually buying many in or you just being in a particularly good area. From Ken Lillys comments overall it seems they aren't selling as well as they should be in any...

Ok, so why aren't the Muppets figures selling as well as they could be then? You have 14 points of articulation, slews of accessories and the price isn't all that crippling in the states. They are all mostly classic household name recognisable characters except the few obscures we have seen. It...

No rant is due just yet really. The Henson Company at least (can't say much about Disney) have always said that HDPS would not faze out traditional puppetry but would work alongside it. They have switched to doing a lot of work in HDPS but this has mainly been non Muppet projects for the...

Palisades Toys have been holding the American Muppet contest to decide which pack in character or accessory will definitely be made by them at some point during the next year. This is YOUR chance to vote for something they really will be making ! The finalists are :- Rowlf The Dogs Stand...

LOL Cindy, i think in this case Jessica seems to be providing the cheese though! Although she is quite cute, i have to admit. Mmmm.... Jessica.

The thing is there's more money in doing it for the kids, that seems to be what SW wanted and what F4All wanted. They saw Palisades had got a corner of the market where they had built up a nice following of nostalgic adults buying Muppet toys and seemed to think they could try and do that as...

Aside Spamela would come wearing a very recognisable costume and be a spoof figure of one of America's most famous models and actresses. If they were to do a Spamela figure in Baywatch outfit at a convention it might go down a storm. Certainly it would outsell any possible Annie Sue Figure by...

Yeah maybe they would. I think Sesame were more after the big bucks and stocking the figures in kids stores though. Palisades are all about adult collectibles and high quality so there is a conflict but by taking on things like Fairly Odd Parents they do seem to be making a transition of...

Licenses last for a few years usually, and in any case Sesame Workshop rejected Palisades bid when they tried to scoop it up before.

I really doubt that news is true. Ken was even talking about the packaging for it just a day or two ago.

I think they did wrong putting the ears on Kermit. I'm sure something good might come out of all this but we have the Muppets officially owned by the Muppet Holding Company NOT Disney (although technically a subsidary of Disney) and we have those emails to Boyraisin from the Disney honcho...

A second Muppetfest is about as likely as me becoming the next Pope but there are apparently some Henson Legacy events in the planning, and also Disney have been known to do themed weekends with their characters so we shall see. Personally i don't think it could ever be the same as the original...

Forgot to add - the Animal each of those retailers sell will be unique to them. Their version will have their store logo on the drum and there may (not yet confirmed) be some minor paint changes to the actual figure if they choose as well.

Killer Toys (killertoys.com), Collectors Paradise (collectorsparadise.com) and OhMyGodCheapNewFiguresOnline.com - i think Ken said they aren't due for a couple of months yet.

The Penguins are gonna be Naked, Steppin Out and Vacation. Ken pretty much confirmed it when i asked him a recent question.

That's such a lovely interview. Karen is the coolest, a great talent and i'm so thrilled she'd want to work with the Muppets again. You can sense in her that same kind of life and energy that the characters have.

I'd love to hear this too actually. Sounds cool !

How about when he has ANY news that is either new or true? All i ever see from him are rehashes of things that have been posted on forums elsewhere or just things that have happened that are completely obvious (ie:- the website change). That Muppet Babies CGI story has been mentioned on both...

Very cool Cory. I've been looking at your site now and again and congrats on the massive success. Not sure there is much to do at Vegas Muppet wise.
