Ask Ken at Palisades

Ken,

I've got another question that is serious this time.

I've started to use Crazy Harry's barrel to store some of the smaller accessories in.

Have you guys considered packing in crates with some of the characters that you are unsure of what accessories they could come with?

This really would only work with characters associated with being backstage in the Muppet Theater, but it might be a nice little touch, plus give them something to sit on (like Gonzo). Plus I could open them up, put in the accessories I'm not displaying, and not worry about losing them.

Just a thought!

P.S. Series 3 is great. They just put them out this past weekend and I picked most of the series up!

I keep bringing up the idea of Sweetums coming with a crate labled PROPS that would be so big that only he could lift it.

Nate, where did you pick up your S3 figures at?

Kevin,

Didn't you get my email?

They were at Suncoast at Hickory Ridge Mall. They had just opened the case when I got there Saturday!

They had mega Beaker too!

Hey, Nate!

I haven't checked my emails since last Wednesday night. I was ill on Thursday, and Friday after work (I posted while here) I was picked up and spent the weekend in Biloxi, Mississippi. Thanks for telling me, tho. I'll have to get by there tomorrow!!

I NEED MY S3 FIGURES!!

Crates labeled props would be a great idea for say Robin or Sweetums. Scooter should have some with one I think. If another regular Kermit were to come out then he should come with a few of them as well. That should be enough to store all the props.

Completely off-topic here, but I thought the guy deserved an update on our dealings. Gorgon Heap: The EM Stage playset you asked me to pick up is already reserved in my name at my mainstay EBX store at the Monte Hiedra Mall here in Puerto Rico. I'll pick it up tomorrow afternoon after my university classes are over. Then it's just a simple matter of weighing it and asking the post office employee how much it would cost to send up to your neck of the woods. Once I've got a price check, I'll let you know so that we can proceed in finalizing our transaction. Hope this helps and have a good night.

I saw the design for the proposed Jim Henson figure and I love everything except the design for the banjo. I wondered if the designer actually looked at a banjo before it was drawn. The neck of the banjo has the wrong head-stock and the design indicates 6-strings. The Muppet Jim's banjo (and most other banjos) only have 5, four tuners on the head-stock and a fifth string that runs a little over halfway up the neck. Also, the design suggests a sound hole on the head of the banjo, which is also wrong...banjos do not have sound holes.

It's a concept sketch only. The technical drawing for the banjo is a lot different.

Will there be figures of the Frank and Jerry puppets to complete the Country Trio?

No.

Would be cool. Maybe somewhere down the road, who knows?

Does Reporter Kermit come with a hat? JUST KIDDING! I just had to say that to make it an even 100!

Now for a real question. Have you considered including arm rods on the Kermit puppet?

Thanks for all that, but I'm sorry to say that I just ordered one today from the Palisades website. I hadn't heard from you in a while, so I went ahead and ordered one. Sorry for all the trouble.
