That doesn't look like Fozzie from 70s to me. Just looks like they didn't have a top level person working on him. Luke- What other websites have they given the busts to? Do you know of several sites? I don't think MC (or even one or two more) would constitute all manner of websites. Just...

Deluxe just means bigger. It could be released however Palisades chooses. In the sketch - Pop's Props and the Dressing Room are connected. It's the same set. Instead of a wide set, it's tall so it can be easily shelved in the same space as a regular playset. It would just lay on its side...

What the heck is that?!! LOL I agree that the theater shouldn't have to fit every set, but it really should fit the average sized ones - especially key Muppet Show sets (Muppet Labs, EM, Kitchen and Vet's Hospital). If they came out with a large MTI ship set or something then it really wouln't...

Here's a rough sketch that I made. It shows 3 different sets. There's one deluxe theater set, a regular-sized backstage with snap-on facade upstairs and an irregular/regular-sized dressing room/prop booth. Each of them strategically click together. Breakdown: The theater is full sized and...

I think you'll find that many people have had that reaction. However, if we did celebrate both, as the maker of the menus, they would probably be identical except for the banner greeting. The maker of the menus...LOL! That just sounds funny. :p

Mishap with the dissolvatron again! But the fact that there's no Strangepork bust makes a space Link kind of strange when there could have been a Floyd. You know, when I asked Sideshow about that in a very nice email a while back, some disgrutled employee sent a rather rude response that...

That structure was in place when I arrived and it took me a minute to adjust, but it really does make sense. It is rather strange to celebrate the birthday of someone who is no longer around to have a birthday if you think about it. Personally I think we should mark both days. Heck, there are...

Matt You are absolutely right. I wouldn't have guessed she had that ugly guitar. Actually it looked a lot better in the film. Not as pastel easer egg colored, but here's a snap to show proof of the weird guitar. It was a lot more funky-looking and glittery. Maybe the paint will change...

Well it just goes better with the TMS branding for Harry to be wearing the TMS referenced outfit. I don't think blue jeans would really reflect his character as the brown army pants.

Crazy Hary has also been depicted in TMS era illustrations wearing the exact outfit that Palisades gave him. The outfit is actually spot-on.

I just find it weird they even got Fozzie's hat wrong, but I really think those are still in prototype phase. If they just fixed Fozzie, I'd be happy, but there's something weird to me about Janice. Maybe the lack of texture and bright colored guitar make her look cartoony. But most of these are...

Sideshow Toys has redesigned their site and updated the Muppet pages. Their new look isn't very attractive and there are some broken links, but it's okay. They have added new full pics of every series but the last one. We'll have to wait to see what they've done to the prototype Piggy...

Luke You must have been posting while I was. I think that proposal is dreadful. I have to be honest, I know that will help the price issue (some), but it won't win Palisades any acclaim. They'd probably lose face coming out with something like that. They've raised the bar so high, that...

I have heard that the theater has been postponed, but not that they ever would make one that (at least some of) the sets couldn't fit into. That just wouldn't make sense. There are easy ways to cheat the size so that doesn't happen. In actuality, they could make it under 2 feet x 2 feet and...

For those of you who can't wait, try locating a vintage Muppet Show colorforms set on Ebay. That's how I have mine displayed. It fits the figures nicely. http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/muppets/toys_doll.shtml

This info comes from the 2 years of threads on the old and new board. The figure talk didn't begin last fall. The Ask Ken threads have been going on for a very long time.

A set coming in pieces wouldn't make much sense either. The theater is an all-or-nothing proposition. If it comes, it will be huge, elaborate, much more expensive than the other sets and in one piece. It would probably come with a figure, but not any pack-ins. It would be costly enough without...

Theater talk history The theater has been discussed at length over the past couple years and Ken remarked that the theater (if made) would be huge. The cost of the decorated walls, the movable curtains and sheer size (has to be high enough to accommodate the tallest playset) will cause the...

Yeah, Rizzo is kind of big for a pack-in, but if Ken says it's possible that's cool. If that's on the radar, I wish other figure pack-ins (like frackles and penguins) would be. But I just can't imagine the price of something like that.

Thanks, Luke. Didn't hear that. I haven't kept up with the Palisades Board much. It would be cool to see them together. I'd imagine that the price of a 2 pack would be more. Was that discussed?
