    Series 3 Observations

    Well, since mine has two right hands, meaning one is permanently backwards or upside down, here's my fix. Hold the accessory up against the desired hand, get some duct tape, wrap the duct tape around the accessory and the hand. Voila, he is now securely holding his accessory. In fact...

    "Normal" Rowlf & Sam The Eagle

    Personally, although I remember Gonzo doing his crazy stunts, the one consistent thing that happened in *every* episode was Gonzo in his suit showing up in the intro and blowing his trumpet to hit his last note. As this is featured in every opening number (after first series) it's what I...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Well, now you just talked me out of buying an extra Gonzo for a repaint. That makes total sense.

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    My feeling is that a black tux Gonzo should be a fairly simple repaint that Palisades could offer in a limited format. But if they don't, it wouldn't take much to do a homemade custom. If Janice weren't already coming with Series 5, I would be campaigning that black tux Gonzo be the repaint...

    "Normal" Rowlf & Sam The Eagle

    Well I didn't mean to imply that people shouldn't buy the variants. I just meant that for people who can't afford everything, buying a couple figures in each series is still supporting the line. I strongly advocate buying everything, but obviously there are those who can't. And by holding...

    "Normal" Rowlf & Sam The Eagle

    Well, for a figure collector on a budget, it works for both Palisades and you. Since you can't buy every figure, then it would be bad if all of the "must-have" figures came out first. Because then you would have to sacrifice to get them all at first, otherwise you'd miss out on them and be...

    Update Palisades FAQ?

    I've just been looking over the FAQ being prompted by another post on this board and realized that in just these past few months, it's quite out of date on certain subjects. Are there any plans on a revision? I took some notes as I went through it and here's some quick items I found that...

    Did anyone see this?

    So I've been sitting here at the hearth, a'warming my hands by the fire, anxiously waiting for Uncle Ken to show up and tell us his story. Where did he go? He said he was coming right after work. It's been a whole day. Surely he doesn't expect us to keep his supper waiting this long for him?!

    "Normal" Rowlf & Sam The Eagle

    This question tends to pop up a lot, even though I see that it is answered in the FAQ. Any plans on updating the FAQ any time soon? I just scanned through it and it seems to be slightly out of date now. I think this question (coupled with Daredevil Gonzo) should be expounded upon a bit more...

    Series 3 Reviews

    There are paint flaws, but everything I saw was minor. Almost every figure from the case I saw was flawed somehow, but I there wasn't one I wouldn't have bought had it been the only choice--except for my double right-handed Scooter. But that wasn't a paint flaw, that was a wrong part.

    Clothing Optional Rowlf

    That's exactly what I thought. He played the grand in his showtune and solo performance numbers, but the upright in the closing credits and for any honkytonk-style songs.

    It looks to me like the server time is off. It's currently two hours ahead of my time.

    My hope as well. What a glorious week this could end up being.

    The Daily Bit: New Muppet Packaging

    Okay, that's weird. It was Sam Arrow on the front and back earlier, now it's a blank card on the front and Link on the back. Furthermore, the new images say "Collector's Club Preview" on them... Odd.

    Did anyone see this?

    1) No, neither of those, but I know both of them. I loved that huge mural that Mark would contribute a piece to at the end of every episode. Bob Ross makes happy trees. No, what I'm talking about was a show were a bunch of children would sit around listening to someone tell a story while a...

    Did anyone see this?

    Gather 'round, children. Gather 'round. It's story time with Uncle Ken. Hey remember that PBS show where they'd tell a story while a guy would draw illustrations at the same time? I do. I don't know why I brought it up. PBS also had that show with the guy in the anatomy-colored...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    The only thing I have in my personal reference to draw from is the Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice PVCs that were sold at Suncoast. At their non-sale/non-clearance prices they were normally around $15-$20 for a box of 3 characters. So it doesn't seem exorbitant of Palisades to...

    Did anyone see this?

    There's a shot of "First-Mate Piggy" on the back of the Series 3 cards. It's just a head-shot, but she's displayed among the preview of the other Series 4 characters

    Star Wars vs. Star Trek

    Interestingly enough, many scientists of today were and are Star Trek watchers. So Star Trek's vision of the future (transporters, phasers, hand-held communicators & scanners) is often what is driving the research of today. So it didn't predict the future as much as give the future a nice...
