    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Hey, I wanted to throw this out, because I haven't seen it mentioned here and it's been floating around in my head for awhile... If you wanted to do a Pigs In Space (hm... just realized it's not a good idea to abbreviate that...) Piggy variant, you could just paint the whole think gray, like...

    Custom accessories and figures

    I've got a couple Muppet characters in mind that I'd like to sculpt from scratch to go along with this line... one of which may never see the light of day from Palisades because apparently Henson won't allow it... ;) But I've got some other stuff I want to work on first, so it may be a while...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Saw a cool thing at the TRU in Warwick, RI today... they finally managed to get more of the figs on the ONE PEG they've allotted for Muppets figures (they had Dr. Teeth and Piggy now, where before they only had Kermit and Bunsen... still no Tux Kerm though). But as I was waiting in line to...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    That's awesome... the Kitchen sounds like it will be well worth a couple extra dollars! I'm also very happy that you guys aren't locking yourself into certain price points. Like you said, most playsets will be in the $20-25 range, but if a playset calls for it, you're willing to give it a...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Ken, Okay, that description of the Kitchen playset really blew me away... is the kitchen "on budget" or is there a good chance a lot of what you described will be simplified or cut altogether because of costs? I'm thinking of the Simpsons Arcade playset here, where the actual playset showed up...

    Ken! Hey, I got an extra Pin Pal Burns, MIB. I'd trade it for a VC Beaker if scruno doesn't have a PPB to trade. - R -

    Series 1 Arrives: When and Where

    Got EB exclusive Piggy at EB in the Rhode Island Mall in Rhode Island. (This sentence brought to you by the Department of Redundantcy Department...) The TRU nearby finally had some Muppet figures (1 Honeydew and 3 Kermits, that I could see) but no exclusive yet. - R -

    eb piggy review

    Hey! Now why *didn't* Miss Piggy come with "Karate Chop Action"? It's a very "action figure-esque" feature that fits her character perfectly! - R -

    Series 1 Arrives: When and Where

    Muppets in RI Got my Muppet figures today in EB in the Rhode Island Mall in Warwick, RI. They had two boxes opened on the floor, they hadn't been put on the shelves yet. I grabbed Kermit, Bunsen, and Dr. Teeth, gonna wait for the hair down version of Miss Piggy. It should be interesting to...

    More Time/Life DVDs soon?

    The Simpsons action figures didn't cause the recent onslaught of Simpsons merchandise, the action figures and everything else were started as part of a merchandising campaign to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show. But it would be interesting if the Muppet figures are a huge hit and it...

    Muppets and John Denver Christmas special

    Thanks for the info, Scooter. It's always helpful to know the reasons behind these things... Forgot about Rocky Mountain High, have the LP for that one, too! Guess the chances of these getting officially released are pretty slim... kinda sad to think that eventually these specials will only...

    Of Muppets and Men

    I got mine for $7... found it at a huge antique/junk shop last Christmas, just stuck in with a bunch of other books... totally lucked out, good thing I had some time to kill while my sister-in-law was looking around... I picked it up ready to pay cover price, opened up the front cover, and there...

    Muppets and John Denver Christmas special

    I'm pretty sure it has never been released on video, and definitely not on DVD. The big question is, does anyone know why? Or why the special has completely disappeared over the last 10-15 years? Does anyone know when was the last time it aired on TV? It seems kinda weird that the CD and...

    Do you want a Pepe figure in series 6?

    I thought I'd be in the minority with this, too, but I guess not... I definitely would prefer The Muppet Show line to stick with Muppet Show characters. I think Pepe would be terribly out of place in series 6, unless the Muppet Show line is going to evolve into an all-encompassing Muppet...

    Great Muppet Caper soundtrack

    GMC soundtrack If it's the tape with the artwork from the Disney re-releases from the early 90s, I could have gotten a bunch of those at this New/Used/Bargain bookstore for about $3.00. Didn't pickup that one, but I got the Rowlf tape and the Muppet Beach Party and Muppet Babies CD, for about...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    sitting or standing..? If the figures can't sit, I think just having chairbacks would be fine, and would work for the Swinetrek as well... after all, they must've just been the chair backs in the actual show! But seriously, you'll have the front of the booth to cover Statler & Waldorf from the...
