Ask Ken at Palisades

[Telly]

DUH@ME!!!! i totally didn't realize that Pepe was ontop of the Forum page above the "arcticles" section! But, yeah! That's how I'd like to see him! I just have to say Palisades is doing a bang up job on the Muppet toys! My roommate's even gotten into them a bit because of the Crazy Harry figure! He was always playing with my figure so I bought him his own! "Look at that crazy mofo!" - words of my roommate. He also wants to get Pepe. "When is that one coming out? 5 years?" I tell him - Good things come to those who wait!

Nah, he'll only have to wait until Series 5 due for release sometime in the middle of next year. Probably somewhen between July and September, if everything goes right and we get one series per quarter from here on out.

so Ken, how was the wedding???

(copied from a post elsewhere...)

The wedding was great. Everything went very well, and now I am officially a married dude.

It was great to have all the Palisades crew out there, and they were a lot of fun, both the day before and the day of the actual event. After I return from the honeymoon (which starts Thursday) I will try to get some pics up of the tomfoolery on the site.

The figure 2-pack was a HUGE hit. So much so that even the caterers and bartenders and photographers were walking off with them. I am frankly stunned I haven't seen one on eBay yet since some of those jokers had armfuls of them as they snuck out.

Probably the only real snafu was me going to the reception...without the new wife. Since we had arrived separately and since it was SO out in the middle of nowhere we didn't have a limo, I assumed we would each be going to the reception with the people we came with. The poor woman was wandering around the church with her bridesmaid and matron of honor wondering where the heck I was. By that time I had already left the church! Believe me, she told that story a lot that night! I didn't know...no one tells me these things!

All in all...couldn't have asked for a better group of friends and family to share the event with, and I gotta tell you that I am one lucky sum***** to have been so blessed with the new Mrs. Lilly. She's great. I owe her a lot. So much so, that you may see less of me on these boards when I get back from the honeymoon. I'll still be around, but may limit my time on them to spend more time on, well, my life. Maybe I will set some days where I will check the threads so you can still get some answers quickly, and certainly on the weekends I'll be poking around, but basically after last week I just sort of reached a point where I decided that I work too much, and spend too much time on the net. Know what I mean?

I have a question about Pepe. What clothes will he be wearing? I know the tutu is gonna be an exclusive or variant or whatever. But what is the standard one going to be wearing. In Muppets From Space he wore a hooded gray sweatshirt with a yellow-ish shirt underneath. In A Very Merry Muppet Christmas didn't he wear like a hawaiian print shirt? Anyway, I realized it wasn't the hoodie. I was just wonder

Yeah he will have the sweatshirt and T-shirt...but my understanding is that it is a blue sweatshirt and green T-shirt.

Question about Rizzo's boxing glove:

Will it be retractable, or is it permanently sculpted in the extended pose?

Y'know the other day in a shop here i saw a life size version of that extendable boxing glove, same colors and everything, it was way cool. Maybe i oughta get it and do the cheese test on a little cousin or something.

Permanently sculpted extended. Otherwise we would be looking at some real QC issues. Yeah I know...what else is new? But these would be WAY uncontrollable...

First, uh, Ken, I think the assumption is, when you vow to spend the rest of your lives together that you'll stay together for at least the rest of the day. Sheesh. Didn't you get your copy of the Husband Guidebook?

As to the other-- good for you! Enjoy....

Congatuations again Ken! I hope you and your wife had a happy new year together!

i have a question that i have been pondering for somethime if you can or anyone can answer it, why was animal's drums painted yellow in the final product rather then the red drums from when we first saw it?

I hate to admit it but i would have like the red drums better also how come the regular gonzo's cape is only colored red on one side and white on the inside when the photo's show a fully red cape? The ex gozno's cape is fully blue plus it is more cloth-like, was there a reason why the regular gozno was not like this with a fully red cape?


thanks!

Zachary

Ken already said that it would be permanently sculpted in an extended position. If you want, though you'd have to wait until the Rizzo figure is released in Series 4 during next year's summer to truly test it out, is get yourself another boxing glove accessory. For example, try the spring-loaded boxing glove accessory from the Batman Animated Series: Harley Quinn figure and slip it onto Rizzo's arm. If it does prove to be a perfect fit, then you can punch away at any other Muppets, or figures for that matter, who don't give Rizzo his proper respect.
