    Henson showcases new products at Licensing Show 2003

    Sounds good, yeah we were joking about whether Sababa would try to do the 8 ball for the Muppets and they are ! LOL ! Noticed the ol'global recognition rating has managed to jump 3 points somehow and nice to see them making a point of acknowledging the 'Classic Muppets' market. Lets hope...

    Series 4 sightings...

    Yeah but Uncleduke, majority of retailers don't fill their orders the day they arrive - you and a few comic shops are probably the exception ! Fantastic you got your cases !

    Mini review of the Jack in the Box Muppets

    What are they made of ? They may move like action figures but they look more like that hollow plastic you get with Happy Meals. I like most of them but a few of the likenesses (Pepe especially) are a bit off. Nice for the price though and a nice theme for the line.

    New Sababa Plush Sets including The Electric Mayhem Band

    The PVC figures i saw from Catric/Igel were on keychains - Piggy on an inner tube, Rizzo on a crate and Kermit in the swamp i think. They were ok i guess. I think there are more out without the keychains but we don't have them here. The figures that seemed to bomb in Virgin were the...

    Rizzo the Rat

    Yeah he is gonna be my favorite from the entire line along with Red Vacation Fozzie. I think Rizzo is really cool - and i don't mind the seam mark so much either (well from what i've seen in the pictures). One thing though - i thought Rats have black whiskers, the one's in the photos are...

    New Sababa Plush Sets including The Electric Mayhem Band

    Yeah i take it some kinda deal has gone on because they are 100% identical at least to the newest ones we had here - if a company goes bankrupt obviously the liquidators sell off all the stock so yeah maybe that goes for patterns and things too. The 18" Catric's and smaller versions of the...

    New Sababa Plush Sets including The Electric Mayhem Band

    Yikes, last fall ? Tons of their products have only just shown up here very recently. I remember posting about the keychains (piggy on an inner tube, rizzo on a crate) that were new here. I guess maybe some other company has been hired to shift their bankrupt stock and lots of our stores has...

    New Sababa Plush Sets including The Electric Mayhem Band

    Thanks, so the 18" are Sababa but are more or less exact copies of the Catrics we have here already now. Wierd ! LOL ! Phillip - do you know when Catric actually went bankrupt ? We were getting new versions of the Catric plushes over here arriving in stores upto about two months ago and they...

    Series 4 Release?

    Yeah it should be towards the latter half of this month - you won't see Koozebane Kermit though for a while. He is a Target exclusive and reportedly that store won't be getting their figures on the shelves until a few weeks later than the other places.

    New Sababa Plush Sets including The Electric Mayhem Band

    Re: Luke, Ah right, should have known they can't fool you Warrick ! LOL ! Yeah i did some research and found Catric have gone bankrupt so maybe you are right.

    Freddie Blassie Dies at age 85

    Yeah i was really sad to hear this, he only appeared on a WWE show the other week i think. Shame about Miss Elizabeth too ! They will all be missed, i knew both Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith for a while and can't believe i was only chatting to those guys about five years ago, even after...

    Mystery Thingy in the Chef's Kitchen

    It's an ice tray, the kind used to hold ice made in an ice making machine or something. It's supposed to fit in the top shelf of the fridge/freezer. Originally i thought it was a contraceptive device for Muppet Koozebane aliens that just happened to get mixed in with the Chef's playest but...

    Has This Happened To Anyone Else's Series 3 Figures?

    It's a common fault with series 3. They were supposed to be colored joints, but were left white by mistake. They tried to cover it up as much as possible by painting the joints but the paint doesn't stay on there that well and just comes off.

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Thats a clever idea - keeping the most recognisable character on the shelves to support the characters from the future waves but not re-ordering so many they end up with mountains. Fingers crossed that'll do the Muppet line a lot of good in their stores !

    Copyrights etc regarding muppet images etc!

    Yeah i don't think there is a Muppet website around that actually is entirely legal, well aside from the authorised one or official ones, and as stated - TP hardly infringes at all which is done in a very clever way. As Jamie said it's a balancing act, and generally as long as you don't go too...

    New Sababa Plush Sets including The Electric Mayhem Band

    Guys (Warrick Especially) I could be wrong but i think a mistake may have been made here. All the 18" plushes you see on that page are NOT (as far as i know) part of the new Sababa line - they are actually from Catric (Igel). So the reason some of you are already seeing the 18" plushes and...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Great to see the updated release schedule - anyone know what the deal is with when we will actually see Patrol Bear Fozzie though ? I think Ken said he doesn't have a retailer yet, and it wouldn't be Target. Any news Ken ?
