No chance of Fraggle Rock being featured in anything but a 'panel' unfortunately. All the puppets are in a REALLY bad state - dust coming out of them when you shake them, bits falling off everywhere. It just isn't going to happen, the Fraggles cost a heck of a lot to make and Henson have ruled...

I thought it was June 2003. We're only in early August 2002 now. It's TEN months away ! LOL !

Congratulations Sammie - not just a member but an original member ! You were here long before me !

Jamie The kind of size and articulation you mentioned for Rizzo is exactly right i think - i was just kinda expressing an opinion that the larger you go with these 'rat' like creatures, the more of the likeness you lose. Take ALF (another snouted character) - for years great plushes but they...

So this means that if something tragically happens to the other 63 people Mike gets to wear the dress and crown, and take a winners lap down the catwalk right ? :D Lovely to see the figures get a brilliant review from an outside source. Congrats all, and congrats Mike ! I agree about...

This actually puzzles me now looking back at that thread for the whole 'articulation' issue. As i pointed out, 'The Osbournes' mini's have 14 points of articulation at just 3 inches high. That's pretty much what the actual Muppet or Simpsons figures have. I know on a 3 inch scale this...

Yeah i agree. It's what i was kinda trying to say at the end of that mini's thread. It's all about responsible management, not censoring people. I Know Matt and Annika have been working voluntarily on the FAQ so we'll likely see that soon, but some kind of rule that collectors club admin...

Sorry i hadn't read that far back, Muppets1985 gets kinda over-enthusiatic about Disney a lot of the time. No, obviously we all know it was never Jim's dream for JHC to be owned by Disney, there are enough interviews where Jim says first hand what his 'vision' is. The whole Disney thing was...

Hey Artie, I know what you mean, but we have to maintain some degree of customer / manufacturer relationship here. They take the money, they (unfortunately) have to cope with steaming piles of doggy doo doo. I am most grateful for all Palisades has done for the fans but if it's come to the...

Just while we're on the subject of the PVC's - has anyone seen the Osbourne Mini's from Smiti ? 14 points of articulation and pretty high quality paint jobs. The price is high, and the hands are pretty messed up, but other than that - very nice ! You get a cute little doggy woggy too !

Go back and read it Jamie. The PVC info was the same, but Ken was saying (along the lines of) 'If i was going to do it, i'd do it that way' yet by the end you were saying 'they are doing this' - thats kinda how i figured they were doing it, maybe you did it by mistake but as a usually relaible...

'Pre-Production', 'Production' and 'Post Production' are indeed just industry terms for how the project moves along. You are right that doing a pilot is considered 'Production' in the technical sense but it's actually done in the period of 'Pre-Production' so officially it's that. It's kinda...

Annika, If you read Bernie Brillsteins autobiography, Jim's manager and one of his closest confidents does indeed say that Jim more or less agreed terms to sell JHC lock, stock and barrel to Disney. Jim even bought out Bernies shares in JHC to be able to do it. The figure was 100-150...

Baz - they announced they are doing PVC's but had been negotiating it for two or three months. It actually brings to mind that little 'spontaneous' Mini Vs PVC debate we all had in the mini's thread. All of the people who are Palisades confidents off-forum immediately jumped on the...

Hi Joggy, I'm not a member of the club yet (basically because my interest in beaker doesn't go further than one figure) but i had been intending to join once Animal was offered. I can understand what Ken says - yes thats about the right price to UPS a package internationally. However...

As Joe mentioned, mid-summertime is good. I think you'll be seeing some early clips or a promo during Muppetfest. As for how much further along - obviously not in prodcution till early next year, but it's not on the drawing board stages either. Inbetween that time they do pilots, sending...

Ok oui je le vois maintenant ...... err i mean ok yes, i see it now. As you say the glasses are too large, but it was the amount of 'skin' exposed by bunching them closer together that confused me. Normally with his glasses being smaller thats all more in proportion. So these protos are made...

Well to sum it up in plain English for you - he doesn't look like your avatar image. Maybe it's something else besides the glasses, thats all i was trying to say. The glasses look better and more true to the character, but overall, in your words - not perfect !

Jamie, From looking at your avatar i can clearly see that Scooters glasses should be closer together. I look at the new Palisades prototype and i see that change has been made, but somehow it's made the overall look less 'Scooterish'. As you say, we'll see once it gets painted, it's hard...

I think it'll probably air sometime around/after Muppetfest, maybe a little later than has been planned. Quite a bit of information has leaked out to trusted sources already, and it's a little further on in development than people might think.
