Ask Ken at Palisades

[Luke]

Most definitely the monkey writers, i'm suprised they haven't leant Ken some of them to make the figures, that'd explain the *cough* small amount of little teething problems occuring. J/K

This is whats so kooky about Henson - they write their site in Flash 5 but with a twist - its so confusing and annoying that nobody wants to access it, then instead of helping people by making it easier they go and recode EXACTLY the same thing in Flash 6 so that most of the population can't access it even if they wanted to. Y'know what i think they should do for Muppetfest - put the website designers up on the stage and we'll have a little friendly Q&A. You can hold them Jamie while i get the tomatoes !

Whats amazing is that there are now millions of little child muppet fans who think the only thing the muppets are doing this year according to their official website is upgrading to Flash 6 !!!!!!!!

ken i just noticed something,the muppet show series 1 probobly has the most figures in a series i ever saw.

kermit
piggy
bunsen
dr.teeth
beaker
invisible beaker
vanishing cream beaker
dr.teeth repaint
kermit in tux
eb piggy

that's alot isn't it?
now onto the questions

1)the muppetcentral figure guide thingy says lew,zoot,and others have accessories i never heard you announce,it also says they come with quite a few.never heard that.

2)awhile ago you said ww dr.teeth would be available again somehow in the future.could you refresh my mememory on that?

It's silly. The designer just needs to save out their work under the flash 5 setting. Talk about a case of laziness.

Ah, I think Ken's doing a good job with the figures. I'm sure such teething problems are normal with this sort of line. If their are any monkeys they went to China. Oh, no. Now I'm gonna get flamed. LOL!

It's ok we'll flame the monkeys instead - y'know it may have absolutely no relation to the monkey writer rumours but i'm starting to wonder if this is the reason why the Henson Interactive team are based out of a converted barn !

Now that's more like it!

Hey peoples,
Thanks for the support, finally. Sorry to push you around for it, though. Anyways, at Toys R Us, today, I picked up my Bunsen and Teeth, completing my series 1 lineup minus Beaker and Lab. Anyways, one thing I really am very impressed about all-around, is the texturing. Very well done in capturing the puppetty essence. Cool that it's lacking in Piggy, too, as I don't really think it'd work. Also, she does deserve special treatment (at least as far as she's concerned). My rabbit didn't seem to show any stickiness, so that's a good sign. I still think Bunsen looks a little too green, rather than the yellowish tint on the packaging, but I can deal. However, the biggest surprise to me is that I'm most dissappointed with Dr. Teeth. He's a really cool and cool-looking character, and the paint job is absolutely terrific. However, I'm dissappointed in a few other aspects. I guess it's mainly his accessories, but only the fashion ones, not the keyboard, that's just fine. For one, his glasses, though cool looking and the translucentness helps, I was really hoping for them to be able to go up and down, like he often does. Secondly, the biggie is the hat, or maybe should I say the not biggie. I really think that the top part should have been a little fluffier, as it seems to fall over and look small. Secondly, keeping it on is a huge pain. It makes me wish it was just a part of him. Though I appreciate the detail of his head, it was never really seen, and I would like to keep it on. I'm thinking of crazy-gluing it, but I don't want to ruin this fine piece of work. Anyways, that's it for now, Ken and the rest. Take care.

AGH! Someone save me from my completist self!

Here's what happened to the error "invisible Beakers"

I am glad Ken was able to do something with them, he seemed a little upset about the SNAFU.

I think this will sell for cheap, most people don't pay a lot for error products. There is one guy who was listing an error MOC Kermit, and it never even got the opening bid.

Keep an eye on it, you might get lucky.

 

[dr. gorry]

ken,has invisible beaker even been made?cause all i can find is vc in invisible beaker packaging.

Just to be clear and fair - its not Ken or Palisades that are selling it !

Thank you for clarifying that. It was not my intent to imply that at all. If you read the ebay item description, Palisades just sold these at the show, when they ran out of the regulars.

Sorry, I did not mean to imply otherwise.
