Oddly enough, none of the banjo players have complained though. I have my Henson playing the banjo right handed. The banjo design is a right handed banjo (fifth string on top). However, the hands are sculpted (and the Palisades photos) show Jim playing it left handed... Michael MWC

The last four weeks have certainly seen a tidal wave of Muppets merchandise - the Backstage play set, the Jim Henson figure, the Santa Chef, Sweetums, three versions of the exclusive Animal, and now series 9. This series, perhaps the last regular series of figures (although rumors abound of a...

I have a review up tonight over at MPS of the new Jim Henson Tribute Muppet figure - you can find a link off my main page: http://www.mwctoys.com THanks for reading! Michael MWC

The full set of figures from EB contains all three Lips versions. And if your worried about getting a Lips from one retailer that isn't the same as other retailers, don't - while the pictures might be different, they'll all get the same figures. Michael MWC

A couple points - - you want tight joints, not loose ones. He's a big figure, and any loose joints means he won't stand. You can move them if your careful, or use the old freezer trick. - the ankles turn, so there's no reason for him to be duck footed if you don't want him to be...

Thanks for the compliments, folks. As always, it's appreciated! Sweetums is going to be one of my top three best figures this year, no doubt about it. I'm just starting the process of putting together the voting lists for the People's Picks of 2004, and I never publish my picks til after...

How sweet he is - Sweetums, that is! If you're a muppet collector, you've been waiting for this figure for what seems like an eternity. Thankfully, the wait is over, and the omgcnfo.com exclusive is now shipping. He's one of the best figures of the year, and he might be the best figure in...

You can pick up the Santa Chef on ebay: Santa Chef ebay exclusive This is actually the second listing. They sold about 105 in 40 minutes or so, then closed that auction and started this one with another 500 BIN. Michael MWC

Oh, and no - the Musicland family, which includes Suncoast, Media Play and Sam Goody - aren't getting in this set or series 9. Michael MWC

Yep, this review had to wait a few days because I wanted to get the Invader Zim up first. I figured I had time :) Michael MWC

It's a huge month for the Muppets, with Sweetums, Jim Henson, Santa Chef, series 9 and tonight's review, the Back Stage play set all hitting. The set is a tad expensive at fifty bucks, but it's huge with lots of pegs for hanging tons of older accessories. It also includes the signature version...

A shipping snafu seems to have slowed their arrival at the Palisades store, but I'm told we should see them up there by the end of the week. Michael MWC

The mini-muppets might be cool, but sales through bricks and mortar stores were only meh. Palisades took them to their own on-line store to release series 3, and if sales of the series are strong enough, they'll most likely do the same for series 4. Series 3 consists of Kermit, Doglion, Beaker...

Well, tomorrow night's review says the 12" rotocast Incredibles are weak, so that should save you some money...but the photos are still good :) Besides, you knew you were going to get all three of those Animals...who could resist? Clearly I couldn't! Michael MWC and if I'm broke...

Wiggy - you honestly don't think there's much difference in the heads (even looking at them side by side), but you noticed that the silver was a little bluish? You have a unique eye for details :halo: Michael MWC

What's better than a Muppets Animal action figure from Palisades? How about a resculpted version, with added articulation and new accessories? Better yet, how about three versions of this new version, each with a different paint scheme? That's what we got this week! Tonight's review covers...

EB Games moved their ship date forward today, rather than back, from 11/01 to 10/28...we shall see. Michael MWC

Just a wild guess, but I'd say it seems like we won't be seeing S10 in stores. I've been down this road many times - once a retailer loses interest in a line, regenerating it is almost impossible. Is is possible? Sure, but highly unlikely. I think a much more likely scenario is that we'll...

As you might guess, I get a lot of packages. But yesterday was a record day, all due to Palisades. I came home to find THIRTEEN boxes on my porch. I can only imagine what the mailman thought. See, my club order showed up - two of each of the new mini-muppets, two of the tan pants AK, and...
