Hey guys, sorry I've been gone for a while. Gearing up for Toy Fair next week, and it's taking up all of my time. Anyway, here are the questions that I think I had left unanswered to date. (BTW, for thos of you who think some of the following answers might be rude, bear in mind that...

Luke is correct -- it's the 2005 style guide -- Disney's first (and to date, only) Muppet Style guide released. Naturally, we have a copy at MR -- but not the book. Ours is 100% digital. I also have a copy of the book in my personal collection -- it came in a very nice, faux wood box with...

OKay, I lied... Still here. Believe me, I don't want it to be that way either. Not a fan of the statement myself (speaking of Ken, the wallet speech is a Ken-ism, btw) but given the situation, that's where we are. I don't want the product to be less than 100% perfect. But it is, and I've...

Okay seriously, this is my last post for the weekend. I need to get away from this for a bit. But I feel there are a number of things wrong with your comments Ignohippo Firstly, you mention the negative reaction from the fans at toy Fair, which I concede is true. But if there's one thing...

I don't think that's fair. While I regard Ken as a genius -- and truly, I do -- and probably the best action figure designer/engineer around, he did put out some inferior products, from time to time. Steppin' Out Fozzie, anyone? Now, was that Ken's fault? No, not necessarily. Not at all, in...

Oh Artie -- how could I forget you? Um, the answer is I have no idea. But it's smooth. Like a nerf-y texture. I will inquire about this next week.

One last Q&A before I go enjoy my weekend. Thank you guys for your support; it's truly fun to be back! Let me get back to you on the wish list... we had, a few years ago, an offer on the table to do Labyrinth & Dark Crystal... but we passed on it. Don't get me started on that. But as for...

Actually, I don't agree with this fundamentally. I didn't with Palisades, either. Yes it is true that the future of the line will be contingent upon current sales. But I don't think that anyone should ever buy anything -- especially a $300 item -- if they don't want it. And DEFINITELY...

I know, and believe me, no one has offended me in any way, shape or form. It's just hard to keep up with the barrage of questions, coupled with the fact that everyone thinks their solution is the right one! Ya know? But no, not taking it personally at all. (You'll know when that happens...

BTW Jamie, I agree with that change. Much better.

Ah yes, now I remember why Ken used to get so frustrated, and swear off forums for long periods at a time... Eveyone here is smarter than everyone else. :) No, no... I mean that with all due respect and affection. But man, you guys can be tough! So, uppitymuppity... can you please...

Though I don't think a plastic one was ever mocked up, it was considered. But the cost quotes came in too high. It goes back to the same issue as Animal's chains, which I addressed somewhere. Plastic items are expensive to make. Palisades was able to make plastic figures, but it was a...

Hey all- I will get back to addressing questions shortly, but I wanted to address Luke's point about using the real materials. Because there's a part of me that agrees with him. And believe me, we went down this road internally. One could assume that if a person is willing and able to...

All, I think, fair assessments... But like I said, let him grow on ya too. He will. And then wait to bask in the glory that is da Bear.

No opinion at this juncture, though I haven't really thought about it/looked into anything yet. I think that the foam that makes up Miss Piggy's face is quite different than the foam from Gonzo's nose. (I have the bible from the puppet builders.) It's a lot less porous... so, I don't know if...

I agree that the pupils could move in a little bit, but I think you may have gone a little too far there. ;)

All I ask is that you give yourselves some time with him... like I said, and like Jamie pointed out with Animal -- he'll grow on you the more you see him/play with him! Okay, back to LOST...

Opening a can of worms... Okay, here are some pics of Gonzo. I am posting 12 of them that I just took in my garage... I had intended to take more -- as you will see, I was having fun -- but then dinner was ready, and my son woke up and... well, that was more important. (Plus, right NOW the...

Hey man, no hard feelings at all. Believe me, as a fan I agree with you. But I've watched the process and seen (or at a minimum, heard about) everything that we tried to do... and ultimately, our hands were tied. Anyway, no harm, no foul. Hope all is well with you! T

YAY! An easy one! Actually, yes I did get it... and I apologize for not responding yet. I've made a commitment to be on here answering public questions, and so I've been using whatever spare time that I have to do just that. That said, I will PM you back now... since there's a bit of a lull...
