That's no reason for them to be rude. I wonder who it is answers these emails ? I've heard of a few dodgy replies, maybe it's interns who go off and get the right answers.

I think Steve hinted but no indication how definite anything is. If the last years have taught us anything it's that you can't predict anything.

They are doing stuff for ABC. That doesn't mean they can't do distribution or production deals with others though.

Kev, I don't think they mean 'partnership' as in giving up any percentage of the company but in having relationships with other companies to do deals in specific areas. Hopefully big names like these handling things like distribution and backing production projects will mean the Hensons have...

Nobody told me the word 'guaranteed' had been used, maybe Henson had mentioned they got the green light and hoped to make 13. I do agree it seems a little over-enthusiastic but then we don't know what was going on at the time. The source was actually one of the licensees.

I'm well aware of what she was quoting. My point was more that Henson's core business is TV and the Muppets have always symbolised great quality fun, family entertainment. Sure there are values in the programming, but after those dire EMTV years I think people would rather hear about plans of...

It's the Palisades dilema - some people have been so starved of quality Muppet product they'll buy anything - even if they don't like it. I don't know why they don't just sell empty boxes and call it an invisible action figure line. (looks over towards Invisible Fozzie and Beaker)...

Around 90% of all you suggested are planned or on the radar for the current license period. They can also do figures from things like MFC, JHH, and VMC if they agree it with Henson. Two years is a long time, lots of figures that people feel are 'missing' from collections will likely be...

He means 32 regular wave figures up until wave 14 when the license runs out. Ya got club exclusives, con exclusives and retail exclusives to add to that though. We've already had a lot, to be honest I think another 45 or so figures would pretty much top the regular line off nicely. Going any...

If you see him, be sure to let him know about 'Muppet Central' - we may be able to help him evade capture. We can sew a zip on him or something and get him to dance with some chickens and penguins.

Happy Belated Birthday !

... and she was doing so well until she began to sound like a Miss World contestant vowing to bring about world peace. I know they mean well but they are a TV company, if they could just focus on making good TV shows it would be a start - healing the world would be nice but Michael Jackson...

Erm won't the DVD be dubbed in German ? Those German ones don't always have the English track on em y'know

Yeah he may well be. Ken is going to try paper 3D glasses though right ? Although it looks doubtful as he said. The reason why I am jonesing for them is that in this case I feel it would have a major effect on the figure rather than just be another minor accessory that could be added or...

I think if it happened in 2004 it would be a December thing but I doubt it. 2005 is far more likely, early summer. I'm not quite sure a few hundred fans in a room is going to galvanize massive fan support enough to make it worth doing financially but i'm sure they know the hardcore fans would...

FYI, Toyfare was talking about the next year so those figures and playset could be anywhere in Waves 9 - 11. People jump to conclusions that they are announcing the immediate stuff - we won't know that till Toy Fair. Apparently the Playset isn't going to be big in a Theatre sense. It's being...

Thanks Boyraisin, good news. As for Charlie, yeah I think it was some peoples view that he wasn't the greatest creative force but he did a heck of a job with licensing and marketing through some tough times. I think they are in the right hands creatively with Lisa - far more than Brian and...

Well something would have to go - 3D glasses don't pay for themselves y'know ! :rolleyes:

It's not just an accessory - it's a set piece. The thing will be massive and look fantastic. I would like to see the 3D glasses slipped in there too though. It's a shame that Ken can't nix a minor accessory from one of the other figures (Phil's egg nog ?) and do the glasses. I think it would...

So is Charlie actually out or demoted to general manager or something ? It says Lisa is in charge of development, while Brian is in charge of the puppets and directing - so who makes all the general business decisions ? Pepe ? :-)
