    Boomerang Fish

    C'irdan Great stuff. Hope to see more articles up in the future! I must have played with that fish thing for 5 minutes! :) BTW - you list MC as having no opinions. We have many fan written articles, reviews and editorials and a forum to express opinions. Anyone can submit an idea/article by...

    All Cast Christmas Menu

    I tend to agree with you. The original concept was rather crowded too, but with more foreground/background differences. Wish I had time to complete that one. I hope we can move on to the next menu tomorrow. It will definitely go up by Saturday, but I'm anxious to get it out there. And don't...

    Disney Set to Bid for Muppet Parent Henson--Sources

    Oh, I think some of y'all are over thinking this. Ultimately Disney wants the Muppets. They are being smart, but they'll get them. 95% sure about that. Not that I agree with a Disney buyout. Just feel that's the way it's going to be. The long term benefits outweigh the price tag. It will...

    Your Wishlist for the Coming Year

    1 Success of the new Fox Muppet Show. I hope it comes out this spring as we have figured. 2 Success of the figures, the busts and more products. No magazine is possible without a big success of other products. 3 Pre production on a good Muppet film. 4 I hope Jerry Nelson comes back...

    I'm working on a client project right now so its late hours until I complete it. Nothing fun.

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Christmas Kermit is not an official part of the line. Look on Ebay. It's Tux Kermit with a red tie and no hat. Palisades sends it out to their clients as a holiday card. If anyone wants a Kermit like this, look at the picrure on ebay and buy the tux Kermit. Paint the vest green and the tie blue...

    Gee, thanx. (Blushes) The Crossbreed will get off the ground when I get some time for myself. These menus and my internship work have eaten up my time. There's still a lot more to do with MC. Part one has been storyboarded, but I'm bringing in another writer. I'm now waiting on her...

    Article On Disney Animation: Is It Fading?

    I will remain silent about Fantasy (except to iterate that it was a spectacular technical achievement. Hanna Barbara-style animation has always sucked. You are very right. However, they do have a wonderful stock of characters. From Huckleberry Hound and Snagglepuss to Scooby Doo and the...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    The spring release was pushed back to summer and the port strike held up the fall release of series 2. They should only be 3 months apart because they are scheduled quarterly, but it depends on when stores want to shelve the figures. TRU is notoriously late in shelving anything that isn't a...

    Article On Disney Animation: Is It Fading?

    You can't specifically hate Beauty and MCC or say anything substantial on the subject unless you see it. I am willing to see Spirited. I'll try watching even the crummiest film and I always find something good in it (if I can get through it). Just closed-minded to say some blanket statment. I...

    Article On Disney Animation: Is It Fading?

    I'm skeptical but I will check it out. I'm pretty open minded, but I have seen many anime films people have told me are different and I just couldn't make it past about 10 minutes. Just crap to me. Can't remember the names of all the films, but I am trying to forget some of the images that came...

    Old Stick Puppet Gonzo

    I agree. They were good for the 70s and I love my set very much, but they are not up to the same quality of today's figures. Why release them again when there are great figures from Palisades? They can't anyway. Not for several years. And with how picky Henson seems to be, I don't think they'd...

    Article On Disney Animation: Is It Fading?

    The closing scenes of the Mermaid bit. But the rest was grade A. Just looked like they slapped the ending on it. I just don't care for the anime style. Oversized eyes, purple spikey hair and pencil thin figures don't do much for me unless I'm clubbing. Just don't like the japanamation style...

    Article On Disney Animation: Is It Fading?

    I don't care for 6-12 frame japanamation. Don't like the animation quality, the style or the plots of "anime". Don't even like the elitist term, "anime". It's all japanimation to me. Just with better PR. But I'll definitely watch it to see what the fuss is about. Can't promise I won't turn it...

    Figure Popularity

    I was talking about series 2. Miss Piggy and Kermit are disqualified because the others were short-packed in the box and there were twice as many of them. The lab...well, from constant delays to them being difficult to display at eye level, the sets have a difficult time. Animal may have been a...

    All Cast Christmas Menu

    Look closely by Sam on the right of the current holiday menu. You will see Rowlf there. I had other ideas for this menu that featured Rowlf a lot more, but didn't have the time to make it. :( This menu was born out a solution to include a bunch of characters. You won't see Rowlf in the next...

    Article On Disney Animation: Is It Fading?

    I'll make a deal with you. I'll suffer through the anime styled Spirited Away (and possibly even Lilo and Stitch) if you see MCC and Beauty and the Beast. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. No, they are not perfect films, but key films in Disney and Henson's history. They are also...

    Figure Popularity

    I just passed by several stores today and noticed which ones seem to be selling out. I was wondering what it looked like in other places. It seems that Gonzo is the most popular so far. I think the cannon really sells the figure and Gonzo is very high profile these days. I thought for certain...

    Gonzo is wearing a nose warmer. The picture has been around for quite a while. Thought it was cute so I used it. :)
