Ask Ken at Palisades

Hey Beaker, who's Phoobis? Is he the Koozbanian alien who started metamorphosing into a carbon copy of Reprter Kermit? If so, his real name is the Koozbanian Foob. Maybe Palisades will find a way to include the Koozbanian Spooble, the red liquid bottle, in the pack as well.

Ack, youre right, the Foob. I must have been thinking of the Land of Gorch guy. *gotta get my hardcore Muppet trivia straight!*

Wow...so Kermit will be coming with 3 articulated Koozebanians? That is just too cool! I guess the metamorphising Foob would have been cool...but hey, we even get the Mediloops! Hmmm...
(Now if only we can get a Sesame Martian Yip Yip playset!)

I'm actually kinda glad that Koosebane is canceled. In my opinion, it would have been an inevitable shelf warmer. Also, it being canceld has set a precedent: Koosebane Kermit will have the first character pack-ins. Personally I'll always take a pack-in over an accessory. My opinion is, and has always been, that we need less cannons and barrels, and more Penguins, Chickens, Frackles. Hopefully this will be the beginning of more extra characters. What do you think Ken?

Moving it to this blister format doesn't bother! But I consider Robot Rabbit to be the first pack-in...

 

[The Count]

Ken's right as usual, the robotic rabbit figure included with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew from S1 was the first true pack-in character. Hexcept for the fact that the character's name is "The Steel Rabbit".

It's the male and female, their baby (all three separate limited articulation "buddies", and a couple of Merdlidops sculpted onto the base itself, but non-removable.

And before anybody asks...I don't have it in the budget to make them go up and down...but believe me the thought has crossed my mind!

As long as I get the male koozebanian, you've still made my year, Ken. I remember when I was little thinking about that character as a figure, just in passing, but I hardly could have dreamed I'd ever own one.

And to everyone discussing the omitted Koozebanians, it's spelled 'Phoob', not 'foob'. Says so in "The Muppet Show Book".

question for Ken

Ken,

A while back I was thinking about the Favorite PVC poll, and it got me to thinking: could that be a gage for which PVC would best translate into a sellable action figure? I know Mahna Mahna led the list with almost half the vote, followed by Thog with a quarter. Does that have any bearing on consideration for a Mahna Mahna figure (or a Thog figure for that matter)?

You don't have to list sources, David; you're the guru of MS Knowledge in my book...even though I'm still unpublished...

loosing the koozbanian playset has it's ups and downs, but hte idea of getting a bunch of alien figures with reporter kermit sounds good to me! I can't relaly picture what they look like, but I always liked the various aliens on the muppet show, so it's all good.

hey ken i was wondering if you plan on doing a frank oz or jim henson muppet from sex & violence(i think that is what it is called).

Ken,

Series four looks great. I can only imagine how great the large Rizzo will look based on how dead-on the small one is. I remember this mentioned somewhere earlier or I could have imagined it but are you still planning on adding some"Muppet" texture to the Pigs or does Henson want all the pigs to have smooth skin. The detail job on Link's costumes is incredible.
