    Statler Figure ?

    I don't think it looks really bad - i really dunno what people are seeing that they state it as 'terrible' or 'bad'. It looks fine - it could have looked slightly better in some areas but it's great.

    Henson Article In Broadcast Magazine

    1. First two are not still in production. Hoobs is very succesful - i think it's the most succesful pre-school genre around at the moment so wouldn't suprise me if they do commision some more. 'Construction Site' is still in production. I would guess they have deals for some other new stuff...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    LOL - hey, you're the one who Ken will take to the Virgin Islands from the proceeds of his 'pay off' - get your lycra hot pants at the ready ! :smirk: Seriously, if i was Mike Horn right now - i'd be laughing my backside off and retaining a decent lawyer !

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    From what i've heard there is definitely something being picked up on in the articles and it is factual, but i don't think it's all that decided what the final deal will actually include. I tend to think that Disney are hanging in there for the entire JHC for $70 Million but would take just the...

    Yet another Henson/Disney article - LaughingPlace.com

    That's the correct date - Eisner had originally turned down ALF when it was just a character concept (CAA/Ovitz sent Paul to Disney/Witt Thomas before Bernie Brillstein). NBC made a pilot in late 1985 i think - it was shown to the industry and test audiences who loved it and Eisner wanted back...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Yeah that is what i thought a long time back - i'd think they'd want the PVC rights a.s.a.p, they might be the best thing Palisades bought in a long time. I can't see Disney making Muppet Action Figures though but then i can't see them letting Palisades make em after 2005 either ! I checked...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    If you are talking about costumes that are actually seen in MV3D or anything to do with the Disney shows then it'd depend how the rights are between Disney/Henson for any of their co-productions but i really doubt they could do it without another license. I thought Disney co-developed that...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Yeah but if the people who are going to be behind the Muppets don't want the Henson Company to exist as anything but 'Muppets' then it's exactly the strategy they are going to take. We have yet another article where it states Disney are only interested in 'The Muppets' and ideally don't want...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    If the Muppets do get bought by Disney, and Disney take over the licensing and assuming they don't purposely be completely evasive to Palisades because they might be a bit P'd off they have to wait till 2005 to make cheap PVC's in their sweatshops, you could bet they'd make Palisades pay...

    Henson Article In Broadcast Magazine

    Warrick, Try any of the really big WHSmith stores up central London, it's the edition with a Barbie sponsored cover. Trouble is, i'm not sure if it's the new one and it came out today, or whether it's last weeks and the new one comes out tommorow so you might have a problem getting it, not sure.

    Statler Figure ?

    So basically Henson are the people who are making decisions that make the figures less accurate likenesses of the puppets ? Wierd ! LOL I agree, it's not a bad likeness. The upper lip is quite a bit too big, too much space. I also have a space problem with Pepe - the features are too...

    Henson Article In Broadcast Magazine

    Hi Guys The current (and just about to go out of date) edition of 'Broadcast' - a trade magazine/newspaper for the UK Television Industry features a double page glossy feature on TV formats - what makes a good one, how you sustain it's success and how they develop. It focuses on shows like...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    I don't think Disney would use Henson to diversify beyond puppetry much - why bother - they can do it themselves in-house and they aren't going to have the Creature Shop to do effects or animatronics, which if they had, things would be way different. I pretty much see Henson being stripped down...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Really ? Oh jeez ! Yeah i knew the plush was good, i used to see snowglobes and teapots and clothes and things here that looked ok. I did see some awful looking little PVC things recently that came out egg shaped from machines one time - they were bad. I don't hang out in the Disney store...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Yeah i have been thinking about that these past days - the area where Disney will be strongest is the merchandising and i think it'll probably make a lot of people very happy. Ok, we might not get the quality and depth of Palisades/Sideshow that we are now used to, but tons of stuff is...

    Muppet Figures Display Racks

    Yeah that sounds cool - it's a very interesting idea how to display the figures, i would never have thought at metal shaped and made like that - kudos to your dad. The hot wheels display or whatever it was looked great.
