I'm gunna keep buying all the exclusives I can get my hands on. I love 'em. Ken's right, VC Beaker would never work as a regular fig-- and he is cool.

I believe, and I think most of us who read this thread believe, Palisades came up with the collector's club after we begged and pleaded for a way to get show exclusives. It isn't like you have to join the club to get your exclusive fix. You can go to the shows or buy 'em on eBay. There are ways.

There will always be people who predict doom and gloom and rain on our parade. Whatever. I love my figures. I don't have Kermit in the lunch box and I don't have invisible Beaker (hoping on that one still!) but ya know, I don't have every Muppet piece Sigma put out either and I still love my Gonzo sugar bowl. Do I want every Muppet thing Palisades makes? you bet! Am I gunna stay up nights because I don't have Kermit in the lunch box, nope. I'm gunna be glad I have WW Teeth and VC Beaker and play with my figures.

Had to trim that down a bit, but I wanted to know if that was just a phrase, or if the Muppets really are the biggest selling line.
If so- cool!
If not- well, it's only Series 1...

Uh.. yeah. Then we can get into a heated controversy and they'll never be released (except to Spencer's)

Really, Janice should come with a guitar and Michrophone, Zoot should have a sax (or horn). If you absolutly need to make these figures like this, Just make them yourselves.

But not a bad idea, other wise. Good thing this wasn't for Sesame figures. Lord on;y knows what you'd say Ernie and Bert come with....

So Ken, are you going to offically offer Invisible Beaker through the collector's club? I must know, or I'll end up being one of those suckers buying him on eBay for insane amounts of money.

Please, please, please say yes.

Can't find another Bunsen!

For some reason TRU/Amazon, EB Games and Sam Goody are all out of Bunsen! I need to get one MOC for my set but he's gone. Is there any chance they'll be making more? I have a sneaking feeling that there were too few of him to go around and the stores are waiting to move the other characters before buying more case packs.

Yeah that would be cool. If they did make her you would have to squeeze her and she would do her business.:big_grin:

Ok i am worried and distressed, absolutely NOBODY has asked Ken anything for the last SEVEN hours. Is everything alright in the world outisde ? - i'm kinda getting an 'Omega Man' feeling here !

In order to save the day i will ask Ken a question as follows :-

You see a blind Penguin crossing the road and it looks like he is about to get run over, BUT there is also a large crate of ultra rare exclusive action figures being sold at 10 cents a fig nearby, and they are nearly all sold out. You notice that the Penguin is proudly displaying his membership card from the Palisades Club on his lapel. Will you save the Penguin or go buy the last rare Action Figure ?

What would you do, just what would you do ???????????????
