    Figures broken in packaging

    Ah ok ok, just got it - hard plastic and soft plastic. Jeez - you need a diploma to work out action figures nowadays don't ya ? Sheesh - bring back the 80's, although Optimus Prime's stickers never stayed sticky and i never had a Skeletor to battle my He-Man ! :zany:

    Any big plans for next year?

    Around Feb/March next year i hope to be at a stage where i can pitch my own TV show ideas to some companies which will be cool - i'd like to travel, who knows ? i have nobody to go with though ! :cry:

    Figures broken in packaging

    Yeah it's very much the non-collector perspective and seeing as the majority of people buying these figures in bricks and mortar stores (esp Target) will be non-collectors then i'd imagine it's going to be the perspective of the majority of consumers. I realise there are some small problems...

    Cutbacks at Henson NY

    Dunno - depends exactly when these cuts were made, if it was a while back then yeah maybe EMTV decided to cut the staff in the final months but if it's recent i'd say it's probably more a decision by the current JHC management (Rivkin) in consultation with the Henson kids. If these people would...

    Cutbacks at Henson NY

    Thats really bad news Warrick - i imagine they are really needing to cut back because EMTV are going to take all their liquid assets (spare cash) over the next week or so and they have little coming in for quite a while. Things should get better as hopefully a few licensing and production deals...

    Figures broken in packaging

    Ah ok, there is a difference between announcing there are no widespread problems, and Ken saying that no widespread problems have been reported back to him. Not that i expect there to be any big problems or anything but there do always seem to be the same kind of smaller issues raised all the...

    Figures broken in packaging

    I'm not being funny Wiggy but how the heck do you know ? You just come on a forum of about a hundred regular posters (if that) and see the reports back from such a small cross section and even then they are mostly friends of Palisades who might not want to mention something and try and fix it...

    Henson showcases new products at Licensing Show 2003

    Thats mainly correct Jamie - they (EMTV) are making more money already from distributing Muppet Babies across the world than Fraggle - just wondering out loud who made the decision to give the Babies this new push - EMTV or Henson. It would seem wierd to me if it were Henson - they hadn't...

    Henson showcases new products at Licensing Show 2003

    Yeah i dunno if it's true but it did seem to come out of the blue a bit - it's not like Henson people were known to be going around talking about how great it would be to do more Muppet Babies - infact Fraggle seemed to get talked about much more. It is a very wierd thing to do to launch...

    New 'ALF' Puppet Hosted Talk Show ?

    Guys, Apparently ALF made a guest appearance on ABC's "The Jimmy Kimmel Show" on Friday 11th July to talk about his new Talk Show. Did anyone see it ? Lots of websites are saying he said the show will be on TV Land but i'm also hearing he said it would only possibly be airing there. Just...

    Professional Penguin Hand Puppet on ebay, Terry Angus

    Terry, Fantastic stuff - i'm so honored to be the inspiration for naming 'Luke' - truly a great name for a Penguin if i do say so myself. With those dashing good looks and that naughty glint in his eye and wry smile he won't fail to impress the bidders ...... and he even likes to lay in the...

    Which Muppet Character Should Have A Bigger Role?

    I'd say Gonzo, because he's being shoved aside a bit for Pepe, and also both Clueless Morgan and Swedish Chef. It'd be good to see them do more with the Mayhem too - maybe they could release an album and go on the late night talk shows ! LOL !

    Rivkin at Sun Valley Media Conference

    To be honest i don't think it has very much to do with cynicism, it's more to do with the fact that JHC is an independant production company and it's hard for lots of them to survive nowdays when there is so little money in Television (not like back in Jim's day) so when you have the situation...

    Rivkin at Sun Valley Media Conference

    The shareholder meeting is July 23rd so i guess they have another contract signing after that. Rivkin is obviously out scouting to see what he can make of the company now the Hensons have bought it back - i'm not so sure they have these rigid firm plans to keep hold of it forever like he'd want...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Matleo does have a point. It isn't great that most places have S4 now and you can't choose to just walk into a Target and pick up the same thing, it does have other advantages like i said. It seems wierd that the action figure industry can't provide exact release dates for their figures - they...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Three waves actually, and yeah i completely agree Jamie, people are way too impatient nowdays. The wait is a good part of the anticipation and good for the marketing of the line. It also means all those who haven't had the chance to pick up Series 4 in comic shops and things will have an easy...
