Re: Re: Re: Muppet Figures LOL Good one! :D

I picked up a new copy of Neat Stuff for about $10. No idea if that is fiar market value, but it was what the seller was charging and I was willing to pay it.

Come on, Luke, give me some credit. Just because I have been around a year or so doesn't make my views any less valid. I'm glad to see you have experience on the subject and I respect your opinion. All I ask is you respect mine. After all, you don't know what experience I have.

If I get a Pepe plush that looks remotely like Pepe, I'll post pics. But don't hold your breath or anything. ;) I'm actually adapting a monkey pattern for Pepe, I know that sounds absurd, but there are some similarities....

Re: Muppet Figures Can you clarify this for me? As far as I can tell, the difference between action figure and doll is the label on the box and which side of the toy store it's on. If it's near stuff in pink boxes it's a doll and if it is near cars it's an action figure.

I've been working on a Pepe plush. My first attempt was, umm, trash heap material, but I have plans to improve the next one.

No offense intended here, but a degree is not the same as the experience that comes from working one's way up in the industy and running a company. I expect Mike Horn has studied the toy industry for quite some time. Ken as well. Plus, they've put out product before, and successfully. I...

Ah, but who says they are rushing out three lines? The mini line is pure speculation at this point. If Palisades takes on a mini line, there is no reason they have to rush it out the door right away. Development takes time. It would be interesting to know when Palisades began working on...

Umm, I know this was not posted to me, but I'm gunna jump in here. Maybe I'm misreading, tone does get lost in typed text, but it sounds like you're upset, ZootandDingo. I don't think anyone expects an apology for bringing up a valid concern. Just because some of us aren't worried about...

Luke-- two Ns, Annika. Thanks for asking. But it is pronounced like Monica without the M. Can't explain what my parents were thinking. Good point on the mini line articulation. Topping the other products out there, getting attention for the line, selling it to outlets-- all quite valid...

Yep! That's what matters.

I am very enthusiastic about the Minis. However, I do NOT want them to be miniature versions of the regular figures. That's fine for the Mega figs, as there will not be that many and making them bigger allows for more detail and more articulation. But Minis would have less articualtion (if...

I think there was speculation about giveaways and merchandise to sell, but we never got confirmation on it from Dennys or Henson. The only Dennys where I live doesn't even have the posters and standees. *sigh* Check eBay for a Kermit plush. The Nanco Kermit sold at eBay was small and...

Anyone get Starz? Anyone feel like taking pity on those of us who don't? Please?

It's all good, Luke. I do think you've stated your views quite clearly, but I still disagree. :D Just don't think it is cost effective. I think cutting a couple extra joints into an existing sculpt is a lot cheaper than licensing voices. Plus, I have a bias toward toys that need to be played...

Congrats on the job! Hope you find it enjoyable as well as profitable.

Okay, I think I'm finally caught up here. Gotta jump back a few posts and add my two cents to the PVC mini line debate. I don't think it needs articulation. I wouldn't turn articulation down, of course, but it would definitely up the price and require a different grade of PVC (is grade...

Personally, I think it is too soon to tell. This is really early in development. We'll have to wait a while and see what information leaks out to us. Hopefully this show will be fresh. Not a rehash of TMS or MT. TMS is, of course, amazing and wonderful. But this isn't going to be TMS...

Okay, this might not be the best thing to admit, but I have a Muppet room. Does that count? The bottom half of the walls are painted green and there is a pale purple 'wave' that is about 6 inches high that goes all around the room (right where the green stops). The lyrics to Rainbow...

Ditto everything Buck-Beaver said! It is interesting to read about the struggles involved in putting simple stories together. The issue of Israeli children being taught not to pick up objects on the ground because they could be a bomb-- what a frightening world for a child (or an adult)...
