I vote no to thread closure. :attitude: This thread should not be closed or deleted just because of the fire (and brimstone) bombers. On a personal note: Muppet Central doesn't have a policy of closing threads because when any group continually harasses a minority. I never would have become...

It has to be considered just who this line is for? I'm not certain myself. The prices are justifiably steep, but I'll save up. Some huge fans have just written-off getting these because of that and I understand that too. I know there's this big market for the Palisades Muppets (now that the...

I really think they should make a Scooter and Rowlf! I like the idea of 2 per year. One is too few and three seems like so many. Two is about right and do-able. :sympathy: ;)

Hey, if my fella wants me to wash his bike shirtless, just get me the hose! I have a gym membership and I use it. My guy tends to most appreciative of that. Just have to be careful that nobody directly into the blinding pasty whiteness that is me. :eek: I agree that this show is more of a...

Realistic Projections? So, to recap: :) Kermit was actually released (in hand) - January 2007 :halo: Animal will actually be released (in hand) - December 2007 :concern: Gonzo is projected to be released - spring 2008 This is certainly not a criticism. I know the good stuff takes time...

Omnivore! :D

Is there a Muppet named jesus or something? :mad: There are plenty of gay and non-Christian active members on the forum (yup, plenty). We don't fire-bomb the religious threads. Even after this snarky effort by several members - I still wouldn't do that. I find the sentiment in some to be...

Dude, seriously. You are now making a point to try the patience of others. This weasely chiding has once again broken forum rules. You may not like or agree with them, but you have been comprehensively informed.

I'd read my boyfriend for doing that, but... I think it's sort of like a Jimmy Carter "lust in your heart" sort of thing. I get it. I wouldn't go that far as to say that any guy that goes to Hooters is cheating on his wife or girlfriend. It's the same sort of situation here (except Hooters...

I agree with ya. Most of my gay friends have mentioned it seemed straight-written. Not terrible, just less relatable to the intended audience. Also, this really is in the spirit of Absolutely Fabulous. The characters aren't intended to be role models and that can cut both ways. I chose not to...

Maybe the price and number of Gonzos went up due to the cost of alterations. He is, admitedly, one of the most difficult Muppets to create. I'm just speculating about that. I did anticipate a price hike if they tinkered with the design. How things go. This increase causes me to believe MR is...

:zany: Apparently the suit color they have chosen coincides exactly with the PMS color they received. MR is aware this color looks redder, they think it is a smidge redder too, but that it also looks good (and classic) when ya see him. The number of him, however...they must have a lot of...

:zany: He he. "Peoples is peoples!" :zany:

Leaper Due to your post's stubborn and continual lack of respect for the feelings of others, it has been reported.

The skinny and the blue! My correspondence was returned and it appears the main concerns are being addressed as we speak. Here’s the skinny: Eye focus was always one of the last bits with Palisades figures - and the same goes here. It’s best to leave that final touch for the end. They...

In the end - a likeness is a likeness. I think what's being said here is that fans would like the same quality of likeness in the product as Palisades' figures - not that it would actually be a figure. They should go back to Terry's prototype for proportion issues, but the figure's nose...

I sent my email out. Pretty much said what my previous post did. I didn't go into the nose as much, but acknowledged their tireless efforts as it is (in shape, texture, color and shading) the central part of the character. :concern: I also pointed to the Mega Gonzo (or Gonzo S5+) for...

I agree here. I will be including the upper-jaw area in my inquiry. It is important that any exchanges with MR be calm, thoughtful and productive. That doesn't mean shelving any concerns; on the contrary, it helps such concerns get heard. It's just a reminder. I know some of that happened in...

That is why someone there really needs to look at the boards once in a while. It's not a new criticism. :sympathy: It appears that the final decision-maker at MR doesn't care enough and that doesn't seem congruent with the type of item they are selling. It's a niche product in a niche market...
