Now it's my turn to clear up one of my posts.

Uh-oh. I understood it as a joke. Sorry, guys. Usually, I take everything as a joke anyhoo--so had he meant it as being mean, I would have thought it was a joke. Thanks for the back-up though, Count. Harry has a good albeit very dry sense of humor which is hard to catch sometimes, but very funny.

But, then again, I like Fozzie Bear-type jokes and and his jokes so...well, sorry Chris. I think I just likened you to Fozzie Bear and myself, so please don't bomb me.

Crazy Harry just doesn't understand, 50/50 LOL!!! (Inside joke).

And, darn it, I missed the part where we all put our hands in our pants! Can we do it again?!

Ask Ken at Palisades...

If the Muppets get bought by Disney would there be a possibility of a Walt Disney World Exclusive?

Something like...

Waldo/Bean
Sweetums
Chef and Cannon
Rizzo in a Mickey Outfit



Thanks

If the Muppets do get bought by Disney, and Disney take over the licensing and assuming they don't purposely be completely evasive to Palisades because they might be a bit P'd off they have to wait till 2005 to make cheap PVC's in their sweatshops, you could bet they'd make Palisades pay through the nose for yet another seperate license to cover the Walt Disney World Muppets !

Luke,

Disney dont hold no license for Waldo or Bean.
Unless they put the Muppet Vision 3D sign on it, Thats pressuming that Disney owns some of the license to that... Which i think they do.

But otherwise Bean and Waldo could be made without Disney's say so right now.


see ya

If you are talking about costumes that are actually seen in MV3D or anything to do with the Disney shows then it'd depend how the rights are between Disney/Henson for any of their co-productions but i really doubt they could do it without another license. I thought Disney co-developed that show so it's pretty much guaranteed they have a stake in it. Palisades don't have the rights to Waldo whatever - he was Muppetvision 3D/Henson Hour but they could make a request for him and do it in some non-Disney related fashion so they just got permission to do 'Henson Hour' characters and didn't have to bother paying 'The Mouse' although as you say, if Disney bought Henson maybe it might be easier to get some kind of permission but i don't think Diz are shy asking for money. Maybe (remotely possible) they might want a seperate 'Muppetvision' themed figure line to sell in the theme parks though ?

Luke,

Yeah, thats what i thought.

Seeing as Disney seem to spend alot on there in-park Merchandise.

When Disney buys the muppets I'd like to see some Palisades figures in the Disney stores with a Disney store exclusive such as Rizzo in the Mickey out fit. And an Alice in Wonder land muppet set would be perfect as a Disney store exclusive PVC set or something.

 

[frogboy4]

Yup. That could give the figures a big boost. I wonder if Disney would try to buy out the contract.

 

[WiGgY]

I hope not. I would hate to see Disney take over making the action figures.
