Are they changing GOSA a bit ? I remember Gumby found a lot of reference matierial when Ken was away. I just thought it needed to be a lot different at $15 than it was at like $7.99. Hard to achieve I guess - I know a few wanted it but IMO I doubt it will do well for them. CC people will...

I think majority will be kids actually, just about. Action figures or not Sesame merchandise still sells way more and is a way hotter kid brand than Muppets. The same parent who bought a kid 'Tickle Me Elmo' will use these as a pick-up item to introduce her kids to figures at around 3-6 years...

... and whoever said you can't hypnotize people over the internet ? :zany:

They are two of the more stronger show specific examples, of which there are very few left. If they dumped original themes for themed figures that appeared in just a few TMS skits then i'd say no. You are certainly entitled to just invest your money in show figures and I guess some people will...

Shall we all make the effort to have christmas avatars this year ? I fancy doing one.

No, Wizard Of Oz figures would probably start at S10, not S9. I'm pretty sure Henson would want the movie to have been screened before or at the same time we see any merchandise otherwise the look of the characters will have been given away. Earliest date for that movie to air would have to be...

OK, i've been thinking about this and this is what i'd like to see for 2005 :- MTI Figures Benjamina Gunn Blind Pew (With Gunpowder Barrel, Dead Pete Skeleton, Black Spot, Sword/Gun) Clueless Morgan (With Mad Monty Pack-In & Sword) Palisades Holiday Figure Grinch Fozzie...

I really want to see some pirates for the MTI theme. I think it's a little bare without them. Polly is a start but I would like to see Clueless with a 'Dead Pete' pack-in (he was the skeleton wearing a pirate hat). Also maybe a Blind Pew figure with some gunpowder barrels, gun and black spot.

The Vacation and Scout figures are (IMO) VERY true to the universe of the characters. We had Scout Robin on the show and just because you didn't see the Muppets on vacation doesn't mean its not true to character they'd go to the beach looking wacky in scuba gear or with a floatie. This whole...

I'm not a big fan of the story re-telling things, people have seen the Muppets so little over these years that I prefer them playing themselves but yeah, I can see Alice or WOZ working and being popular more because of amazing visuals and effects than anything to do with the Muppet writing. As...

You mean you haven't heard about Darlene The Dancing Penguin ? She comes with a blonde wig, podium and Hooters t-shirt. I guess Palisades are still keeping that variant under wraps ! ;) Seriously, if Sal does indeed get a threepaint, I would imagine each accessory/pack-in will get some...

The transformers busts are looking excellent - I must save up for Soundwave. The detail on Megatron rocks. Muppets looking great as usual obviously.

It's Tutter from Bear In The Big Blue House - congrats on getting your Koozy Kermit.

Yeah and we need the female scoutmistress too now. I mean what good is scouting without a little TnA in adolescent boyhood. ;)

Looks to me like they have a severely corrupt database. It was showing Grab Bag posts for Muppet forum ones at one point. Looks like a major reset/reload to me but i'm no expert. All computers are evil - blah

They may announce "Muppet Wizard Of Oz" soon - if they are planning those it'll likely bump some wave 10 figures to wave 11 and so on. I would guess the Vets Hospital stuff. Other than that, there are no new Muppet licenses to get really, they are pretty sure they can do stuff from the other...

They might not float your boat but I think useless is a harsh word. A lot of people really like the themed variants and both of these are fun ones that are visually very strong and will draw a lot of attention at retail from casual store browsers as well as fans. What makes a succesful action...

Pity they couldn't have used a polite brush off though, that person answering is representing the image of the whole company. There are usually stock answers for 1, 3 and 4 which most people get. Them getting 2 wrong shows he must have just got an inexperienced person answering. I agree they...

montage parodique / fake

*Imagines room full of Henson writers scribbling over their notepads thinking - Jeez, Kenny guessed our idea !* ;)
