WOW, you can WIN a FREE set?!?! I guess it wouldn't be "winning" if you had to pay for it, now would it Greg? Ah Greg... not too bright. But quite a dancer. Seriously though, everybody should rush on over to our site & submit an entry for our very first Muppet contest... Note that I...

Hey all, Since this is the "Ask Ken" thread, I thought I would let you know that I spoke briefly with Ken today via AOL Instant Messenger. He has arrived safely in Hong Kong, and all is well... On another note, my pal Slim started a thread in the "On the Web" section regarding the...

Yeah, casual Fridays are an interesting sight to behold here at Palisades Toys. You've got Mike in his crown, and Ken in the buff... and last week, Keith (Slim) came in dressed as a tree!! Wow, that is the best review I've read of the figures yet!! And what's even better about it is that...

Hey guys, Well, since Ken is spending time with his woman, and packing his belongings for the trek to China, I will fill in briefly... Man, I'm also glad that the cat is out of the bag regarding the movie license... Y'know, Ken has BEEN dropping little hints about it on this very board...

Ha ha ha Mr. Lilly... For those of you who don't work at Palisades, which I imagine is most of you... I overslept a little today. (Still recovering from San Diego, y'know?) So my nickname is now "Sleepy" in the office. It's got me longing for my old nickname. Which was... Oh nevermind...

To answer BAZ's question, I think that there are now 4 Palisades employees who are posting here... if you count Keith. (He's being fired tomorrow. Bwa-ha-ha) I know that some of the others are lurking though... Travis

Thanks everybody for your kind words and support. Yes, starting a new job is difficult -- especially when it involves moving three hours and finding a new place to live. Fortunately the good folks at Palisades have been instrumental in assisting me, and I already have a beautiful new apartment...

Hey all, My name is Travis and I am a full-time lurker, part-time poster here on the MC Boards. I just got a new job recently and one of my co-workers suggested posting the news here on the MC Boards... Why, you ask? And why under the merchandise section? Well... I am the new Sales...

If I had to guess, I would say that the EB employee did not necessarily know what he or she was talking about. In my experiences (and as a former retail employee myself) retail employees generally have NO idea what items will be coming in, or when. And if the person that you spoke with was...

Jamie- I see what you mean. But my understanding of the situation, as it stands now, is that Henson is not supporting making some of the characters into figures. Wayne, Wanda, Hilda, Mildred, and George -- the last that I heard -- were probably not going to make the cut. Even Lips was, at...

Frogboy - I see what you mean about Sam; however, ONE of the two variations coming out is a proposed EXCLUSIVE, and I did not consider those among the regular assortment... Some fans may not be able to get them -- that is why I included a second Sam. As for Pepe, the general vibe that I...

Zack- I put the Scooter alternate at the end there for a reason. I wanted to stick with the "2 big guns, 1 secondary, and one fan favorite" format for each series. 5 6 7 8 BIG GUN 1 Gonzo Piggy Beaker...

If I were the King of Palisades, here is how I would break series 5-8 down: SERIES 5: (I know this one is already 90% established) Gonzo in purple suit (w/ Camilla) Beauregard Statler Newsman PLAYSET: Koozebane w/ Trenchcoat Kermit SERIES 6: Nurse Piggy Nurse Janice Waldorf Uncle...

I am flip-flopping... I agree with everyone that Pepe should NOT be made before the classic characters; however, as I pointed out in my earlier post, there are not that many major cassic characters left who will most likely ever achieve "figure-hood." It's not like Palisades was proposing...

To save you some reading, my final vote is YAY!! I have a sneaking suspicion that I will probably be in the minority here, but I would rather see the classic characters get made BEFORE we see Pepe. Don't get me wrong -- I love Pepe, and I want him to be made... But I would rather get all...

I got a few of the Dr. Teeth exclusives at Wizard World East, but all of the ones that I purchased were for people on this message board who had asked me to get them one. I did not purchase any extras to sell on Ebay or anywhere else. As I mentioned in another thread, I don't think it's fair...

Zack, I think that your idea is great! Right on -- way to help out other Muppet fans. I will be doing the same if I am able. I am already the designated "exclusive shopper" for one of our UK friends... And I have already acquired a couple of Dr. Teeth exclusives for some of our...

I have to wholeheartedly agree with everything that Ryan and Artie have stated in this thread. I cannot express to the rest of you how absolutely amazing these figures look in up-close and personal. While I was there, Ken walked over with me and said, "Look at the finished product..." and...

... and boy are my arms tired. Okay, wow. Wowee-wow-wow-wow-wow!!! I can't wait to report everything that I saw and got today... First of all, for those of you whom I made previous arrangements with to get the Exclusive Dr. Teeth, it is done. I actually had the pleasure of meeting Ken...

According to Wizardworld.com, the exclusive tuxedo Kermit is completely SOLD OUT!!! I know that the general concensus of people on this board was to avoid Wizardworld.com because of the price, but apparently SOMEONE bought 'em. Another indication that this line is going to be HOT...
