I didn't say a bust I was talking about an detailed full bodied statue like Palisades did with Alien vs Predator. These types of items are usually in a limited run and priced for that. It's a good prelude to a figure line because there's less gamble in it for Palisades. Just because you...

Pepe.

The pupils are dilated. They need to be shrunk and will be according to Ken. ;)

Both sides definitely benefit, but we really get more out of it than they do. They could have easily just gone on without us and still had close to the same success in the scheme of things. Just sometimes gets really harsh on them. All of the - "I'm going to die if Rowlf is in a tux or if Pepe...

Too true. However, on the artistic side - I would say it's one of the best comic book style movies. And it was much better than Johnny Neumonic. :eek:

Well, it was no Blade Runner, but it was a fantastic film and certainly one of the best Sci Fi films of all time. Oh, and duuuuude. Sorry. Had to get the Keanu out. :)

****! That was fantastic!

LOL! Well it's a much more interesting scupt that would have sold better to the target market than the gelflings. Mayhe they should have started with a Jen doll and a Skeksis doll. Second wave (if there ever was one) could have been Kira and a Mystic. Third could have been Augrah and a Podling...

Phone Booth was held back because of the sniper shootings, not 911. You probably are aware of that, but it was ambiguous in your post. Your comment about OJ and political scandals is right on the money.

Darn those Sideshow people! I've seen the dolls up close and they are fun, but they could have done much better. Skeksis would have been a better idea to start with.

The article states that the paint it being adjusted so I'm sure they are addressing some of these issues. I actually like a bit of flour on his face. It looks a little much here, but they might tone it down. This item it hot for the lobsters alone. For all those concerned about the $20 price...

I think action posed sculptures (not busts or figures) of the Skeksis would sell. That's a foot in the door. And with the reissue of the book, it's a perfect time. Scuptures don't need to be mass produced. A few hundred can be made and they can be priced accordingly. Palisades has done limited...

Shrek got the Oscar because that movie touched the voters more than Monsters. Monsters Inc didn't go far enough to please an older audience like Shrek did. You can like that or hate it, but that's how I think it went down. It had a nice message and was irreverent. If Monsters had more edge and...

I agree with Nate. This is an interesting year for the Oscars. Last year was kind of a snooze fest for me (except for the highly competitive Animated Film Oscar). I love musicals and there haven't been that many non-animated musicals in recent years (Evita, Moulin Rouge, Chicago). It's nice...

Palisades and Henson both want to make the DC figures. The issue is that they can't get enough retailers on board. I don't see why not. I find it sad that companies don't realize the power of the Dark Crystal in niche circles. At least limited run sculptures would sell. Maybe even more than...

You need to see the Blonde Ambition Tour. Nothing she's done since has beaten it. Didn't really care for the Drowned World. It was kind of boring for my taste, but interesting in parts. Saw Girlie Show live in NYC at the Garden. Great stuff. Talk about pushing the envelope. I remember when...

Not saying it totally wouldn't happen, but it would be toward the end of the Mega line if it picks up. I'd love a Mega Janice too.

Mega Beaker sales may be spotty (he does look good), but I predict Mega Animal sales are going to keep the mega line afloat. I don't think we're likely to see Mega Zoot or Janice but probably top characters like Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and possibly Bunsen to round out the Bunsen/Beaker set...

I wonder if that's where his spakly glove trend came from or if it was a coincidence.

Me too. That's signature Gonzo IMHO. He was wearing that suit in most publicity photos too. I wonder if he washed it - or maybe he stores his mold collection in there. :D
