Yeah nothing wrong with having "Monopoly Guy" in there as well, just some website members don't read the forum so they would have been totally clueless that you did all that great work on the actual game too. The design on the game is pretty fantastic, well done - so i'm in the UK so i wouldn't...

He looks fantastic ! I love the suit - can't wait to see the accessories for this one.

Bang on cue, can i make a suggestion for whomever it concerns ? Isn't it important and fair to readers to point out the person writing the article is connected with the company ? Calling him just "Monopoly Guy" could suggest he is just a fan/expert - far better to use his official title. When...

The "sources" are professional media analysts who are paid to speculate and are usually retained by newspapers etc, they may be "insiders" at the companies concerned or just the normal press contact saying something "off the record". It could also basically be any old media contact the...

- Rizzo (Regular Paint Scheme) - Tux Gonzo - Clifford - Cos of our contributions to the accessories - Pepe - Vacation Pepe - If they can sort him out so it looks a bit more wilder and in his character. - Bear On Patrol Fozzie - Cool sculpt, cool accessories ! - Tutu Pepe - Must be a lacy...

As i personally see it :- <<Could the rules of the German legal system have prompted Disney to back away from an alleged $135 million bid for Henson back in December? >> Not sure, we don't have any firm info on what happened then but it's possible. Thing is though, they went back to bid...

Kev, I think Amazon.com / Toysrus.com will have them very soon !

Haven't really had a chance to talk about the Muppet Monopoly yet but it looks superb, very high quality and it's obvious Derek and the other guys making it have really taken care to put tons of Muppety stuff in there and make it something the fans will love. Also really like the look of the...

Yeah they did some stuff with it last year but it's gonna be a proper show now too i think, maybe animation with the puppet doing the usual links ? So i guess it's just a Henson made puppet then ? They got quite a mention out of it !

I think the most probable shelf date is mid-June to early-July in most places, it has been said that Target will have their stuff on shelf a bit later.

From what i know there were firm plans to do 10 characters, not sure where it goes from there but if they sell well, it'll be an ongoing thing like Palisades. Didn't realise they were out in the states yet.

Tour Crazy Harry ? Naaaaah ! I like the idea of Tour Janice in the Baby-T !

Yes, well at least from how i see it (i'm not a media analyst) but as to whether they were 'overly concerned' i guess you'd have to see the advice they got before they attempted to sign any deal. At least these were the reasons given in the media but obviously we know the Henson kids didn't...

There is - www.broadcastnow.co.uk - but unfortunately you have to be a paid subscriber to access anything on it, and i don't subscribe.

This is sketchy at best, but there is an article in this weeks 'Broadcast' trade newspaper in the UK that shows a puppet (that looks like a sock puppet) called "Raoul The Dinosaur" which will have it's own show on the Disney Channel in the UK, and the puppet will also be doing links to all the...

I didn't say it was the reason Disney might have just wanted the characters/library but maybe one of many reasons if they did feel that way. They've already had a lot of problems with the German legal system. On the second question, as you've seen, it takes 2 months for the aquisition to...

Well Disney are a massive worldwide mega-corporation. The Classic Media deal involved a few fairly small media companies, and Henson are a tiny media company. It's all about who has the most to lose. The German regulations mean (i think) that the company making the aquisition has to guarantee...

Not a Muppet product - if you put an $80 Muppet product into a store like Target it might as well be put straight into the clearance bin. If Star Wars and other more visible licenses can't shift, what makes you think the Muppets can ? The consumer base and also the brand visibility is just...

Big Congrats Kev - U De Mule Man ! :zany:

I guess thats why they call them 'Happy Meals' !!! :o
