Well, Wizard World offered (and is still offering) the Tux Kermit exclusive, so there's no reason to think that they won't have the Vacation Fozzie available online as well. Generally they don't like to give the online people a leg up on everyone, so they don't put their exclusives online until...

I remember that day when Pin Pal Moe sold out in three minutes online. It was unbelievable. It was also ironic that after Pin Pal Moe sold out, they still had the bundles up for the rest of that day, meaning they were "sold out" of Moe by himself, but it you were willing to pony up the dough...

I feel your pain. I did the same thing with Pin Pal Burns, and got shut out, even though I mailed my coupon the day the mag hit my comic shops stands. I wound up ordering mine through the UK allotment Forbidden Planet Sci Fi Warehouse got. Well, I guess that depends on if you want the...

If that's not good copy for an article or sidebar in Toyfare, I don't know what is! ;) Yeah, it was a pretty bad scene. And I didn't just take the guys word for it, I dug out my mags and checked the price guides, the screengrabs he provided for the online price change once Moe was bundled...

Hey Jon, Here's the thread where a few of us have been keeping track of the completed ebay auction sales for the two "Holy Grail" pieces from the Muppet Show line, the Philly Wizard World East Dr. Teeth variant, and the Philly industry party giveaway Kermit in lunchbox figure. This thread...

Nope, no change there. Floyd is a righty and Janice is a lefty. Done deal. :(

Re: Please don't flame me to oblivion... Frankly, it showed. ;) Welcome Jon, glad to hear that there's no pressure on you as far as pricing goes. Actually, I have noticed a difference, as I was shocked to see some of the Simpsons Toyfare exclusives actually go down in price! Here's a...

Yes, the unpainted version should be the approved release. If you look at the picture, Ken has signed "Lilly" and disapproved the packaged sample. Also, the unpainted prototype morea accurately represents the picture of the Floyd puppet, so I'm sure it was easy for Palisades/Henson to order...

It really, really bugs me that they made Floyd right handed. I know Ken said they had no reference from Henson, so they decided to make Floyd a righty and Janice a lefty, to give the band and the Mayhem playset balance. But every episode that I've watched has Floyd playing lefty, while Janice...

Yeah, wow, that's a big difference on Floyd's mustache! The pic of Floyd is a good closeup, and you can see the packaged "PPS sample" of Floyd in the background which wasn't approved, signed by Ken Lilly. *Sigh* I would have loved to bid on that disapproved PPS set they auctioned off.

No doubt they're following in the footsteps of those trend setting Osbournes again. ;) I just saw that there are going to be Osbourne bobbleheads.

Thanks heavens Reporter Kermit is such a strong figure that he can sell the set by himself. I didn't even remember what Koozebane was until I started watching the old episodes with my son. I'm sure many people will say, "Koozebane, what the heck is that?" but then think that the reporter...

Generally, I think that when you can tell that something is the "latest rage" it's already on the way out. I think the bobblehead market is in decline due to oversaturation of nearly every licensed character known to mankind turning up in bobblehead form. What was once a cute throwback idea is...

Here's my idea. DVD World in Brazil. They carry Muppets From Space and Muppets Take Manhattan, as well as Shrek. http://www.dvdworld.com.br 2001 Video in Brazil also has the two Muppet movies listed above. http://www.2001video.com.br No idea if either company ships outside of...

So that would have been a larger than normal figure I'm guessing? Didn't Ken say they use 1.5 times the size figures for their prototypes? I can't remember the size exactly, but I think he said they don't use twice up size models.

It may just be because of choice of venue. Star Wars is so big that they can do a convention all their own, they don't need to "tag along" with the comic industry conventions. For Palisades, which has no current tv show or movie to promote the Muppet Show line, I think they feel like they...

I love the fact that my six year old knows or remembers things about the Muppet Show from episodes that we've watched together that I don't. :)

Well said guys. Yeah, remember when all the "hardcore" Star Wars fans got into fist fights and trampled children at Target stores nationwide a few years back? Target flubbed and printed a Star Wars exclusive in their weekly flyer and people crashed the doors and got into fights over the...

What are you guys talking about? A few Star Wars exclusives? There are more Star Wars exclusives than you can shake a stick at! Let me grab a price guide..... There are 40 (count 'em, forty) 12" scale products that were single vendor exclusives alone for the Star Wars and Episode I releases...

Here's another example of low priced pvc figs. I went to my local comic shop this weekend, and they had the Rudolph "The Island of Misfit Toys" PVC sets for $20.00. There are twelve figures in the set, they look like pretty detailed sculpts with multiple paint applications. So, judging from...
