Right on about fixing Mutant Beaker. They put the Pal in Palisades. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole (I just wanted to make that joke.)

EB Games has moved the Lab to July 1st. That was to be expected, and seeing as the playsets have only just left the factory, it's an acceptable switch. David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Gumby- The Robot Rabbit appeared in Muppet Labs in the Zero Mostel episode, which incidentally was the first show to feature Beaker. The rabbit wasn't actually a Muppet Labs creation- what they were advertising that week was magnetic carrots, which "sometimes tend to attract steel rabbits"...

Ken, Quick question for my future reference which you've no doubt answered already: all future Piggys (First Mate Piggy, Nurse Piggy, Biker Piggy) will have the head sculpt with hair down, correct? David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

I forgot about that. I wondered for a long time if they were the same character (since in "Hugga Wugga" the character never says "Sclrapp Flyapp", which is according to Henson.com all he ever says). David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Re: Merdlelidop You know, we never have found out how to officially spell those little guys's name. That does it, I'm emailing Henson.com and finding out once and for all. BTW Ken, perhaps for the craters for the merdlelidops (sp?) you could scatter them around and put push buttons on the...

Re: Koozebane playset Hey Ken, I had an idea today while at work (in Toy dept. at Meijer, though I'm only in Toys one day a week and Sports/Auto the rest). I love the fact you're doing a Koozebane playset and am thrilled that it will (at least as of this moment) include the male and female...

Re: Gonzo's cannons Ken, a question on Gonzo's cannons: you said they would be colored differently between the regular and the repaint- how is that going to look? Is one going to be silver and the other brightly colored and patterned (like a circus cannon) or are they both going to be painted...

Re: Gene Kelly episode The 'end of the world' running gag was written with that in mind (that is, it was written as a finale). Also, we see the announcer and Pigs in Space reaches the end of the universe, where they will be given the meaning and purpose of life. Here's how it ends- Bo...

Yes, they were in "Muppets Go Hollywood" but not in the 30 years celebration. Never saw "Here Come the Puppets". David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole

Beethoven's Bust- another great fan Easter egg. Gotta hand it to you Ken. Too bad about tux Fozzie being nixed (particularly since he was slated to come with Chuckie). Maybe it'll come up again if/when the series makes it down to where you're making second exclusives of characters? As...

Smiley- the Mutations were those pink/purple dancing triplet monsters with orange hair that appeared on the Muppet Show; they were named as such in the Connie Stevens episode Philip Kippel- #2 Connie Stevens- they're Connie's backup group for her number "Teenager in Love". It is in this...

Questions/comment for Ken Ken, I kind of agree with the last person who said it, that Floyd's nose looks too big. Maybe when it's painted it will look better. Guess I'll have to wait and see about that one. Questions: 1) Are the tux exclusives planned for Rowlf and Fozzie still on...

Sorry! My apologies Ken. Didn't mean to call you out- just thought maybe the stuff was being sent by a low priority postage. It was more an inquiry about the speed at which it was being (or to be) sent than if it had. Once again, I apologize for any inconsideration on my part. David...

I was wondering the same thing I remember you telling me two weeks ago that they'd ship out next week (which is now last week). Not trying to sound impatient, but I was wondering how long the shipping is proposed to take, be it 3-5 or a week or a few weeks. Just the general idea. Thanks...

Well, as I heard it from a Henson company archivist, they do that because Jim himself preferred the later version. The first season credits look kind of rough and low-budget. Since they always try to stay true to Jim's vision, the first season credits have been omitted ever since. David...

Full list, TMS appearances #3 Joel Grey: "Comedy Tonight"- sang line "Something appealing, something appalling, something for everyone a comedy tonight!" and is then clubbed unconscious by Beautiful Day monster. "Sherlock Holmes sketch"- called Fielding the butler- accused of murder, eats the...

Just so I don't have to search through all 512 messages in the Ask Ken at Palisades thread, what's the SKU number for the Series 1 set? I'm planning to call Toys 'R Us some time this week. Thanks. Dave

Thanks everybody I was afraid no one had remembered. Then I remembered there's a feature on the board that tells you whose birthday it is. I have the misfortune of having a birthday the day after Jim Henson's death. Heck of an irony. 20 was one of the best birthdays I've had in a while...

Re: "Let a Smile be your Umbrella" Well, my best friend and I created some characters and it's really something I had in mind for one of them, but it was Muppety inspired. I got the idea from Link's "I Talk to the Trees", a musical number cut short by something unexpected that fits with the...
