Hey Ken,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!!

It was £4.99 - translated into dollars that's $7.74, although there is a buy two, get one free deal going right now which i would have taken up if there were some better characters on the shelves. The regular voice chip Simpsons have always been available here in specialist comic shops (at around about $17'ish) but these laryngitis one's are being stocked in a lot of the regular chain stores and things so more easily available and selling like hotcakes.

Some news, it seems the Muppet line is being carried by the chain 'Virgin Megastores' here in the UK at what i hear is £7.99 (usually they are around £10.99-£15.99 in comic stores) so you are starting to break out of the UK comic stores and into the mainstream mall type stores like in the states. I gave Travis all the details for the buyer at Hamleys when you were away, and Woolworths (a massive chain here) have also started to move into action figures in a big way with display after display of the Simpsons mime artists, and also WWF and stuff like that so i'm hoping they might pick up the Muppets too.

Hope you have a cool day, and that anything Keith, Travis and Greg does to you in way of celebration isn't physically or mentally scarring !!!! :big_grin:

Happy Birthday to U, Happy Birthday to U. Happy Birthday dear letter, ah Ken. Happy Birthday to U! Many happy returns on this, your one day of glorious joy. I just have a quick question about S3 Tux Rowlf. Is he coming with candelabra or Bust of Beethoven? The only reason I ask is because the Palisades Figure Schedule here at MC still lists Tux Rowlf as having the baby grand and candelabra, though others may now better than I do. Well, I hope you have a great time at that crazy tea party planned by your demented co-workers.

I have been collecting toys since Star Wars New Hope came out in 1977 but never in my entire life have I seen a company, espically someone as "high ranking" as Ken be so helpfully and open. It is VERY, VERY cool, and frankly makes the Muppet line that much more enjoybale to me.

Thanks again to Ken and all the great staff!
I just wanted to echo that thought! Even other toylines that have reps answer questions are nowhere near as open and helpful and friendly as you! I couldn't beleive it when I first joined this board! Thanks so much for all your info!

Oh, and I'll add in another HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
