I think it kinda is aimed at an all round market of adult collectors and kids. Looking at the list of stores selling the figs, it looks like there are some kiddie specific stores. What i'm saying is that i reckon they'd kinda have to appeal to both sides of the divide, there are only so...

As for the cars, it doesn't bother me THAT much but i don't particularly think its the right thing to do. It is just a picture but it kind of puts another nail in the coffin of the ol'chestnut that is 'the muppets aint what they used to be'. In Jim's day, and probably shortly after, i think...

Quinn man, have a good day, hope you get lots of assorted Schmoo !

Hey Jamie Thats fine if the whole packaging and 'Muppet Show' range does change to generic 'Muppets', then he'd be fine to seamlessly intergrate in, but i really feel him coming in the current packaging that would say 'Relive the classic action of the Muppet Show Yada Yada Yada' would be...

I Think the thing with Pepe is that he would be Absolutely 100%, Definitely, Totally and Positively Out Of Place in a 'Muppet Show' line of figures. It makes it look totally amateurish if you have a non Muppet Show character in packaging that tells you the line is about the classic 'Muppet...

So if your wife ever feels anything small and hairy in bed you can blame it on the Muppet right ? ;-) Hmmmm ....... interesting concept !

Ken Can you go into what would be involved in getting a Pepe figure commisioned ? As he's not a 'Muppet Show' Muppet, and you've said before you just have the rights to them, would it be a case of bending Henson's ear to make an exception, or is it that you would be prepared to purchase...

The fact they made a Little Mermaid still upsets me. :mad:

Yeah but lets put this in context, through the wonders of a little something called 'forward planning', if Disney were using 'Disneys Muppets' in that short a time after Jim's death, he would likely have known about it before he died. As for the Henson name remaining - i think its a little...

Yeah i agree, Disney would never drop the Henson Company name if they could help it. There would just likely be two 'sting' graphics at the end, Henson's first and then Disney's. There is the fairly unlikely exception that if EMTV were to go bankrupt and the liquidators split the company up...

Oh my gawd - so THATS why Elmo sells ! Personally i just wish Elmo would go take the place of the Roadrunner and that cunning Coyote getting lucky just this once.

Yeah i could dig Muppet pinball on something like the PS2 or Xbox. I think for a Muppet console game to work, it needs a lot of flashy elements and all that 'extra' stuff like masses of sound and video clips, and lots of characters and twists, like we saw with Racemania. The GBA game sounds...

I haven't played it myself, i'll have to download the *cough* Rom later, but to be honest Cory, i can kinda see where the reviewer is coming from - the Muppet license doesn't exactly scream pinball to me either, but seeing as it was Newkidco the other option was probably 'Elmo Pinball' so i'm...

Jamie To the best of my knowledge, nope, we did not get that show. I'm kinda glad too because it doesn't sound pretty ! I'm just thankful i can look back fondly on my childhood memories of the original cartoon - it used to come on before "Jim'll Fix It" - another show that would really give...

Ok well to get in on the other 'hot topic' - i completely agree that it was a travesty they made the Panther talk, but i kind of agree with Tweety being marketed to girls, but i don't just think its a girlie thing. Having a high maintenence girl myself i can kinda recognise the signs - cute...

Radionate, Yeah i kind of see it as a bit of an allegation of sorts, granted he doesn't make it blatently but certainly to someone in the business it's a bit of a slap in the face. If we look beyond your selective editing and look at the REST Jim Hill says :- It clearly suggests that he...

You want us to sing Warrick ? I'll be glad to - do you want 'Rainbow Connection' or something a bit more heavy rock ? ;-) Of course i'll be signing the petition - it's a great cause and i hope something can be done to save them.

Hey Daniel I get where you are coming from - basically, yes, i have given my own interpretation of the news before and in some people's opinions it might have been seen exactly in the same way as Jim's has been interpreted here, but i posted on the forum along with all the other joe's here...

Hey Jamie, Cool picture, i hadn't realised it was from you, or that in fact it was't some official picture from over the years - i guess if nobody notices then it's the best compliment right ? ;-)

Daniel, The point is that these 'conspiracy theories' are in a professional article about the Henson sale on the main internet site, and i'd also like to think i've spent a little more time studying this. Anything i've said has been on the forum and i have the same amount of airspace as you...
