Hey Ken,
Just chiming in with a response to your response to my last question. Anyways, I sorta figured it maybe worked like that, you selling the toys in bulk to the stores, then them passing them on to the consumers, like us, but am semi-confused about that process. Ya see, in doing so wouldn't that mean that a poorly-selling line would do just as well as a good-selling line? With this being in place, couldn't you just make a so-so toy line, as opposed to say the excellence of the TMS line of yours, and then once they're sold to the stores, just laugh and shout "SUCKERS!!!!!" all the way to the bank??? Well, I can't wait to see your explanation for this, as it entices me.

One more thing, on a more general note, what's with the desire for stupid/disgusting variants of our favorite Muppet characters??? Piggy needing to pee, Zoot with a bong, and Fozzie being able to pick his nose??? To me, the last one just represents how the mighty bear has fallen in more recent years, not to mention all three being sort of out-of-place as figures from the start. I don't mean to offend anybody, but I just felt I had to express my opinion on this one. Take care.

Squig,

Fozzie being able to pick his nose???

people where just making nods at Muppets From Space.
Fozzie picks his nose just as his invisibility wears off, and becomes visible, for everybody see him pick his nose.


I was thinking about this Vet Hospital playset(since they mention it on the labs box)
I would like to have a speical dog patient figure(or some type of patient) come with it

What about a patient which is an anything Muppet, with a ripped seam in its back or something?? LOL!!

FOZ

It just takes a little common sense really, a poor selling line means no more orders for figures, and thus the end/cancellation of the line.

Toy buyers also aren't stupid - if they detected a line was of poor quality they wouldn't bother buying into it in the first place otherwise they'd be stuck with a case of figures on their hands that needed to be sold, probably at a loss.

Probably the same reason there are so many BEEKER figures offered on eBay

Ken: I know that companies order the toys from you before they ever even get on the boat... since Series 2 is due to be shipped to retailers next month, that Series must have already sold sufficient boxes to be produced... When will we know for certain that Series 3's production is a lock, stock, 100% certainty, not a chance they'll be canceled, good to go set? I would guess not until October or November...?
