That's a shame to hear that nobody has nabbed Floyd yet. You'd think a chain like Sam Goody (or Tower Records) would try to carry the band repaints, but I guess like everyone else they want the really big guys. Speaking of all these Fozzie ideas, something that just popped into my head is a...

Do you know if each individual regular figure was listed in the computer, or just the figures in general? If the number was just for the entire assortment, then perhaps we can just assume Tux Kermit will be included, since if I remember correctly TRU's are receiving cases with a different ratio...

I feel for you guys. Nothing can burn me up more than a store employee who has no idea what they carry, nor would they find out. What I've been doing is instead of asking people at the store in person (pretty much I just zip in and out to see what they have...it's too much of a headache...

Re: ACTUALLY... If I understand my animation history correctly, the DePatie-Freleng studio didn't technically shut down, but rather was purchased by Marvel Entertainment in or around 1980. The only reason I bring it up is because the newly renamed Marvel Productions studio was responsible...

Re: Re: Re: Koozebane playset Were they in fact ever named in any context? I think they are generally just referred to as The Merdiladops.

To just elaborate on what Scott said, what Noel owns are thousands of hours of recordings that his father made throughout the 1980's in his home studio. Warner Bros. retains all rights on the characters, including the voices, but the actual recordings are Noel's property. Noel did try his...

Don't worry. Not too many brick-and-mortar stores will take a credit card to reserve anything. Typically, in the case of EB, they'll create a customer file for you on their computer with your name and number, and when an item comes in that you've reserved, they'll call you and hold it for...

Shall one of us start a sticky thread for reporting all store sightings?

I apologize if this was already discussed at some point, but is that why Henson took action against Disney and thus killing the original deal? I know the deal was aborted for a variety of reasons such as the loss of Jim, but I'm curious what the Henson company's major complaint was? I...

That I have no problem with, because at least the studio is giving you an option to see it whichever way you want to. When I called Disney's customer service line to voice my opinion on the Muppet DVD's, the girl asked me if I wanted it one way or the other. And I said, "Well, what's wrong...

Animated Features Since this has popped up in the discussion, I'm sure a lot of you will be happy to know that a "Cats Don't Dance" DVD has just been announced for September 3rd....while plans are still underway for an "Iron Giant: Special Edition" disc for either this Christmas or early next...

Re: Bean I agree. Dreamworks seems like they would be the right place for Henson, but it's still too early to see if they will stick around or if they will go the way of the Orion. As cool as it would be to see Henson owned by Spielberg (you know how much of a stickler he is about...

I apologize if you already explained this, but is it okay to ask why the sudden change in Series 5? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. :) Did someone from Henson say "Try to get Rizzo out as soon as possible" or something?

Hopefully someone can help me out. I'd like to create a Lips avatar, but I'm having trouble finding a good picture of him. I have nothing in any books, nor can I seem to find any real good ones online. If someone has one that I may please use (any size is fine...I'll play with the pixels...

Rizzo I dunno....either the regular or variant Rizzo would have to be naked. After all, that's how he started out on the show. :)

Believe it or not, Warner Bros. has never had any claim on Pink Panther. The character is still owned by MGM. It's a long story why he wasn't included in the deal...let's just say it had to do with the fact that the original movies and cartoons were released by United Artists. The MGM...

Actually, Turner was all but out of the picture by the time the stores closed. Time Warner and AOL were wooing each other, and TW was trying to show that all of their nine zillion divisions turned a profit. Well, the problem was they opened too many Studio Stores, and the flagship New York...

This I have to politely disagree with you on. I would say Scooby's mass appeal and fanbase up until this recent renaissance probably equaled The Muppets' now (or rather, until the time of this anniversary celebration). And I'm speaking as a lifelong Scooby fan, so I'm not out to bash the dog...

My error. I was referring to Scooby-Doo. Of course, it is apples and oranges when you look at the actual quality and styles of the shows, but I was moreso referring to how effectively Viacom has marketed them. They have taken otherwise overlooked programs and had launched them into the...

Although I cannot stand most of Cartoon Network's new productions, how can one deny that The Powerpuff Girls are unbelievably popular right now? And also, look at it this way....in 1997 Warner Bros. took a 30-year-old low budget lackluster Saturday morning cartoon and turned it into one of...
