We didn't say that Henson wasn't allowing Palisades to make the figure. Frogboy also said he might have been mistaken when he said that Henson wasn't that supportive of the idea. What we DO know for certain is that Mahna Mahna is not covered by the current contract. That can mean several things (well, it means one concrete thing, but in the long run could mean more things.) I don't know how many series (how do you pluralize this word?) the current contract covers. I don't know if contracts get revised. I don't know if the contract will be extended if the series calls for a longer line than the current contract covers. I don't know if they'll draw up another contract when they've exhausted everything from the first one. I don't know how it works.
Ken has said Mahna Mahna would be a very challenging sculpt. This is probably true, and yet the other figures look good so it seems Palisades and its sculptors are capable of rising to a challenge, and if Mahna Mahna becomes a new challenge set before them, then by gum I think he could shape up to be one of the real prize figures of the line! They've done curly hair on Piggy's and Dr. Teeth's head, just like Mahna Mahna has on his body; they've done the 'hole eyes' on Floyd; they've done wilder hairs on Floyd, Crazy Harry and Animal. It's all there and they've proven it can be done; all that's left is to put it all together. I think just because it's not in the current contract doesn't mean it's out the gate. Remember back on the old board when we asked him about odds on various figs and he gave us those percentages? Well, many of those were not covered by the contract either, but he still put numbers other than 0.
Take it as you will.
One last thing to the others: nuts to anybody who tries to vote down the Koozebane playset. We'll get the necessaries- Muppet Labs, Pigs in Space, Vet's Hospital, the Swedish Chef's kitchen, a Muppet News backdrop, and there's still room for Koozebane. Just let it be. It's not like any of the other ideas one could replace it with would be much more prominent or profitable. Plus, you don't want to spend all the biggies in the first few series so you don't have any left for later! I've said my peace; I must go now. I've got leftovers from my uncle's barbecue in the fridge.
