    Series 2 packaged pics!

    Those look SWEET! I want them all... NOW! Gimme, gimme, gimme, Palisades! :D BTW: Is it really "Gonzo the Great"? All these years I thought it was "The Great Gonzo"...

    Janice Figure Bumped from Wave Four?

    Ahhh... I see I haven't lost my tactful ways. :D Now then, re-stating that: a series where the BIG STARS are Sam the Eagle and Janice has "shelf-warmer" written on it. A *LARGE* percentage of the collectors buying this line are buying sets off the Internet from toy dealers. Casual fans are...

    Janice Figure Bumped from Wave Four?

    WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO-HOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO! RIZZO THREE MONTHS EARLY!!! :D Sorry Janice, I hardly knew ye, but you're just not a series-seller like Rizzo is! :p Seriously, though, Rizzo is one of the main, heavy-hitter most popular Muppets. Janice and Sam in assortment 4 has "shelf-warmer" all...

    Ken: I just got my second Muppet Labs and Tuxedo Kermit at Toys R Us today for $20 and $11 respectively ... How on Earth can you guys profit from the Muppet Labs?!? It's a HUGE playset, made with high-quality materials, lots of paint and plastic, tons of details and little parts and cool...

    Very limited??? They have as much articulation as the regular WOS figures!!! They're the best-articulated little PVC figures ever made!

    Re: Muppet Figures Re-assortment I agree that Lips wouldn't be a good character until 2004. Lips is incredibly minor and obscure... brushing aside a heavy-hitter or even a variation of a heavy-hitter or him so early in the line would be suicide. I think what Ken said is that in the next few...

    I'm very, very happy to hear that you're holding over the big guns until later! Playmates didn't do that with WOS, and now we're getting waves made up of characters that casual viewers have never heard of. (Freddy Quimby and Mrs. Botz?!? What the...!) Two questions, which you can feel free to...

    Ken--What is the current status of future exclusives? We know that Vacation Fozzie and Crash-Helmet Gonzo are the Series 2 Exclusives. Repaint Floyd was going to be a Series 2/3 Exclusive, except he got put in a regular series as a shortpack. Tux Rowlf (I think) was going to be a Series...

    BotCon!

    Rhino currently has no plans to release anything except for G1 and Beast Wars on DVD, so don't worry about it being advertised as one "feature-length" movie. Pokemon isn't so good, although I shamefully admit I enjoyed the first 75 episodes until Ash lost at Pokemon League. There aren't...

    BotCon!

    No offense to Muppet fans... it's just that the Transformers cult fan-base is beyond anything sci-fi except for Star Wars and MAYBE Star Trek. Transformers isn't just part of an anime fan's diet: it's for the kids that watched it and the all age-groups that play with the toys and adore the old...

    Palisades Mega Muppet line debuts this Winter

    Actually, I was making a point about why Dr. Teeth isn't as popular or well-known. I know Bunsen was on Muppet Babies, but we already know he's not as popular as Beaker. ;) I didn't realize the figures wouldn't have any accessories, but most large-scale figures like this don't. The only ones...

    Palisades Mega Muppet line debuts this Winter

    Ken--I was away all weekend so I wasn't around for the announcement and all the negative reactions around here. All I have to say is... I WANT THAT BEAKER!!!!!!! When you asked if we'd be interested in this, there was an overwhelmingly positive response. I can't figure why that's not still...

    Ooooooohhhh... you missed the Hasbro panel. News from that panel: Unicron is in the works. The guy who designs all of Armada heavily hinted at it, and brought up Unicron himself. Hot Shot will be re-released with a new head that isn't atrocious. Powermaster Prime and Starscream...

    BotCon!

    Comments, comments... In case anyone happened to see me at Botcon, I was wearing the *ONLY* T-Shirt sporting a giant face of Hacker Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tuvrusky the 4th from Cowboy Bebop. That should've stood out. I had on a tamer DBZ Young Trunks & Goten shirt yesterday. Now then...

    Question for Ken: I want to pay for my Club Membership and extra VC Beaker via Paypal. Should I send in one Paypal payment for both, or make two separate orders? Do I still need to send out my contact info/registration form via Snail Mail, or can I just include my contact info on my Paypal...

    WHOA. That's AMAZING!!!! Who would have thought that the other person (or one of them) that bought a Muppet Lab set at Botcon would be on this board and the first to reply to my post!!! It just goes to show--the Muppets are taking over our small, small world. :D Oh, and in case you're...

    Big Splashat Botcon! Ken, I just got back from the 2002 Botcon in Fort Wayne, Indiana. (For those who don't know, Botcon is the annually-held convention for Transformers fans in North America.) I thought you'd appreciate it knowing that The Muppet Show made an excellent showing for itself at...

    Ken, you just posted this over on the RTM Board... I'm confused... I thought the next series with Fozzie and Gonzo was supposed to ship in August, and be on shelves in late August/early September... now they're not coming out for a whole two more months! What caused the delay? Does this mean...

    No--you're totally wrong here. Toybiz's contract with WCW still hasn't ended. Up until now, they were still releasing new WCW figures like Mike Awesome--the problem was, no one wanted them. You can still find a HUGE supply of these last figures at discount stores and Kay-Bees because they really...

    Ken: I know that companies order the toys from you before they ever even get on the boat... since Series 2 is due to be shipped to retailers next month, that Series must have already sold sufficient boxes to be produced... When will we know for certain that Series 3's production is a lock...
