    Series 2 has landed!!

    Well, I scoured the area all around where they had been with no sign. I asked an employee who said he thought they'd sold them but he didn't actually check the system so who knows? It just struck me as odd that they'd have such a strong change in shelf staus in one week after not having changed...

    Series 2 has landed!!

    I have a feeling we'll see them before the end of the week. I went by my local TRU this evening. I've been checking by there regularly to see if they'd either sold one, or marked-down the 2 'Labs playsets they had. Note the word "had" both the playsets and ALL the figures (About 8 Kermits and...

    Muppet Fans...I Need Some Help!

    There are school busses in all 50 states and probably PR as well. But the Blue Bird busses that everybody uses now are very different in style than the bus used for the EM in the Muppet Movie. Remember that bus is 31 years old! The one I found is pretty close, even though not accurate. The back...

    Muppet Fans...I Need Some Help!

    OK Ken, I think I just found the answer to your problem! I''m not sure how far ya'll are from Bucks County PA, but why use a model that may or may not be accurate when you could drive up and take photos and measurements of this guy here...

    Deluxe Muppet Stage Plaset

    That seems to be the concensus. Everybody is for it. Some people are torn over weather or not to make it large enough to put the other playsets on the stage. Ken took a bunch of input about it and then informed us that they're(Palisades) going to sit on it for a while and try to come up with the...

    EB Piggy Yeah mine has some paint problems too. As far as the shoulders go I think that's probably a problem area on this specific figure du to the hair. Even so, I prefer the look of the longer hair. J~

    Sculpting Foam?

    I've been thinking about building a puppet and want to sculpt the face and hands out of foam if I do it. The problem is I'm more of a 2-D artist than a 3-D. I've done some sculpting before, but only clay or styrofoam. I want to know what's the best kind of foam to use (consistancey more so than...

    The Glory of the 80's

    I definatley agree about the video games. I basically gave up on them around '85. But I remember the glory days: Pac Man (Mr. & Mrs.), Battle Zone, Tron, Centipede... We even thought Space Invaders was pretty cool when it first came out. I'm really dating myself there, huh? But the drop-down...

    YES! Give us the extras pack! We want the pack! We want the pack! We want the, uh, excuse me. I mean, that's an excelent idea. :D I have a question for you about paint. My (EB) long-haired Piggy was delivered this afternoon. She looks really good, but has a couple of scratches in the paint job...

    Your'e being kind. The prototype looked worlds better than my sketch! Of course I did it with no detail, in about a minute and a half, from 20 year old memories. J~

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Since Sweetums should be roughly 10-12 inches tall to be in proportion to the rest of the figures why not make him the series 4 Mega and include robin as one of his accessories? J~

    Everyones Leaving!!! Boo hoo!!!

    I couldn't help it. I just immediately thought of the Animaniacs episode where Slappy & Skippy Squirrel go to Woodstock: "Who's on stage?" "Yes." "Who?" "Yes." "Yes is on stage?" "No Aunt Slappy, Yes isn't even at this concert." It's the funniest thing they ever did on that show...

    Disney Job Discrimination

    'Sounds to me like corporate stone-walling. They can have a requirement that the people who walk around in the character suits not have certain physical limitations because it could be dangerous, or a health concern for the individual. Then by requiring the puppeteer aplicants to also have to...
