Ask Ken at Palisades

[The Count]

OK, here's a quick question. I understand why you're holding the deluxe TMS Theater Stage playset until a later date. But what will happen to the proposed figures of Sweetums and Robin? Will they be made and released separately? Will they be released with the deluxe playset whenever it gets released itself? Would a new character get the figure treatment should Sweetums and Robin's figures be released earlier than the stage playset? Just wondering in case we need to wait just as long and patiently for these two figures also.

Since Sweetums should be roughly 10-12 inches tall to be in proportion to the rest of the figures why not make him the series 4 Mega and include robin as one of his accessories?

Sweetums and Robin will have to find their way into an assortment. I think we can fit Sweetums on the new Series 4 cards, which are a lot bigger than 1-3 and I have something cool in mind I want to see if Greg is into for our hairy friend. Sweetums...not Greg.

BAH! Another body hair joke from Ken!


But yeah that Muppet Stage from Star Jars that Dr. Tooth linked to us is sweeeeet. I love that embossed "Muppet Show" logo. What's the status on it's availability? (Forgive me if this is a stupid question)

Oh Aerosmith I fudged a lie a little about the Maniac line.
I think I said that I wasn't really interested in that line or sort of figure which is somewhat the truth.... I would had have if I found one, bought the Jaws scene and I wish I had bought King Kong when I had the chance. So if that counts as being a fan of the line (somewhat) then I guess I am one. Do you know if they are expanding the line and adding more Legend characters?

I'll have to look for the Dark Crystal on DVD! Thanks for the tips guys. I did see Labyrinth the other day and Krull - a movie when I was a wee little lad.

They havent told whos in the nexy series yet they are about to release and Aliens and Predator box set and an Ash vs Evil Ash 2 pack. They usually release a series a year just a little bit before Halloween.

i want that Ash/Evil Ash so bad i can almost taste it. i'm a HUGE fan of the Evil Dead stuff. i actually have the Ash/Pit Witch from last year. it's one of my few "cannot bring myself to open" pieces. and i have like three of the original Ash release. and on all three, the right arm snapped off...which is part of why i didn't open the really hard to find one. don't wanna break it...

I think that stage picture is GREAT! That's almost exactly how I would picture a playset. It's got the box seats, orchestra pit, and curtains. Now just allow the back to either be removed or to use interchangeable backgrounds and that is all I would want. I don't need to fit my other playsets in it.

Gumby, are you talking about the sketch, or the prototype Jar?

I pitcured it that way, like the jar, with the orchastra pit, the curtains, the Balcony, etc. However, I can't see how it could be packaged. I don't know if Palisades would go for, "Some assembly required," and I figure it will cost more than 60 big ones for the packaging reasons. Maybe since it's on hold, Ken and co will think of a way to fix that.

Personally, I'd like to see the stage handeld at the end of the line. But that's just me!

I was talking about the prototype, though it was very similar to the sketch.
