Ask Ken at Palisades

[dhillman]

I'll have to disagree there... I think Andy & Randy Pig are hilarious!!!!

I look forward to seeing them in the Palisades line... It is simply a question of when...

After all, following Miss Piggy and the Swine Trek crew, the penguins are in an uproar for their neglect in representation

Andy & Randy Pig

I have asked Ken about Andy & Randy Pig in the Palisades forum (I am Dr. Teeth there). He basically said that they could be made but it depends on how long the toy line lasts and they might only make it to the PVC line-up instead of the action figures. It didn't sound promising.

I really hope they wouldn't do Andy & Randy, that would be two whole action figures in a wave of four, it'd be the slaughter house for the action figure line - what next .... Spamela Hamderson ? *shudders*

More penguins though - especially ones with beanie hats and spinning bow ties !

Wouldn't penguins qualify as obscure?

Ken, 2 questions RE: Series 5 TBA exclusive

Series 5 Exclusive(s):
Swedish Chef Repaint with Lobster Banditos (San Diego Comic Con/Collector's Club
Vaudeville Statler and Waldorf 2-pack - (Wizard World Chicago/Collector's Club)
To Be Announced Palisades Exclusive - Not a Previously Released Character

Playset
Planet Koozebane with Reporter Kermit

PVC Set #2
Kermit, Swedish Chef, Nigel, Rizzo, Seymour/Pepe, Dog Lion


Ken, two questions about the Series 5 TBA exclusive:

1) when you say TBA, do you also mean TBD as in it hasn't been decided yet, or has it been decided and you're just keeping it a secret so it will be a surprise?

2) if the answer to #1 is the latter, is it a TMS character?

One more question, actually: did you ever get back to me on what you meant by the Swinetrek being longer than the kitchen "when fully extended"?

Thanks.

Um...uh...they were always featured prominently, just never named...yeah, that's it. featured, not named, and always blown up.

exploding penguins, that's what we need.

Um Um (searches for answer) - Kenny baby, if you get out the contract you guys signed with Henson and a magnifying glass .... read down to the fine print under the heading 'This section not to be read until we have your money' and then the subsection next to the lines about 'at least four tutu figures a year'. Just to the left of it (by the grape juice stain) you'll find the 'Penguin Obscurity Exclusion' clause - quite clearly (if you use some kind of invisible ink re-appearing solution, or gorilla goo) you'll find it states that the more penguins the better be they PVC, exploding, spinning, tossing or tutu and they'll be guaranteed* to sell by the truck load. They were always on the shows but just never really credited, although Kermit (frog bless his little flippers) gave them a namecheck at the end of the Weezer video. Remember Ken, a penguins not just for life, it's for christmas too (if you run out of Turkey or Ham) - can you deny the Palisades penguins of their rightful fame ?

More penguins = Retirement home in the Maldives for all Palisades employees.

PVCs

How big are they?

 

[ResidentLilly]

Do have any action-figure or PVC plans for Andy and Randy Pig from Muppets Tonight?

They are the Jar Jar Binks of the Muppeverse. So yeah...eventually I think they would have to be made in some form. Meesa want to seesa piggy piggy!

What next .... Spamela Hamderson ?

I would dig doing her and Hogsellhoff. Well, maybe "do" isn't the word I was looking for...

1) when you say TBA, do you also mean TBD as in it hasn't been decided yet, or has it been decided and you're just keeping it a secret so it will be a surprise?

To Be Announced. We are holding off on the announcement until Toy Fair.

2) if the answer to #1 is the latter, is it a TMS character?

To Be Announced.

One more question, actually: did you ever get back to me on what you meant by the Swinetrek being longer than the kitchen "when fully extended"?


I don't think I did. There is a special section in the console that when you place a Viagra inside and add water the playset becomes fully extended.

Actually, the walls are hinged so that it ships in a smaller package and then VIOLA...open up the playset for lots more room to display the figures in.

Can you deny the Palisades penguins of their rightful fame?

I think, Luke, that you might kick my butt were we do do that! How about a Penguin/Spamela 2-pack!?!?

How big are they (PVC's)?

Varying sizes. Right now still playing around with how big or how small. Some of the sculpts need factory adjustments.
