Ask Ken at Palisades

[kane31666]

Beaker, you asked what board Blinky was talking about. I believe he was indirectly mentioning the Simpsons Collector Sector, which many members here are also apart. Jara19 and Michael Crawford, and I moderate there(well I'm a deputy, like a junior moderator). It's mostly about the simpsons, but we have a thread about these figures, and it's gotten quite large over the past few days.

Cool! I wonder what else can be made out of PVC, Janice's hair maybe?

 

[ResidentLilly]

Hate to split hairs, but since I strive to be educational...PVC is polyvinyl chloride...and in fact most of the figure is made of that. The softness and hardess can be maniuplated to whatever effect you are looking for. SO while Teeth has a PVC 60 hat (the 60 is a reference to the durometer...density really) he has PVC 95 arms and legs.

But to answer your question...in S2 Fozzie will have a PVC 60 bow, and the chicken is also PVC 60. Floyd, Harry and Animal all have PVC 60 hair...Gonzo's hair tufts are PVC 60. Floyd's topcoat, moustache...think that's about everything. Vacation Fozzie's shirt and "floatie" also.

Thus endeth the lesson for today.

Rizzo accessories

I believe I heard this mentioned before, but in case I'm the first, I know something that Rizzo could come with (if accessories for him are going to be a trick): talking food! Rizzo eats and eats, talks about food and eating all the time, at least since he's come to prominence. Putting the living vegetables with Rizzo would be a way to recognize Rizzo's character by noting his food fetish, and also to include fondly remembered characters who wouldn't otherwise have a chance at making it in the line. I guess in this case they'd be quasi pack-in figures, although they are inanimate so it's a toss-up. You could have the singing fruits and vegetables, some singing/dancing cheese (he ate dancing cheeses on the Michelle Pfeiffer Muppets Tonight and ran away when Kermit asked him about the disappearance of the dancing cheese on the Andy Williams Muppet Show) and perhaps a cake. Only point against is that Rizzo's mother warned him "Never eat singing food."

What do you think, Ken? What do the rest of you think?

I like the dancing cheese idea - didn't they have some dancing cheeses on the original Muppet Show (though they didn't interact with Rizzo I don't think).

I'm thinking that they will have him with a pizza box. That wouldn't bother me. Since he will have a modern look do you think a headset would be cool? I'm on the fence about that. I am also thinking that they will put an extra pack-in to even out the packaging, but that's a wild guess on my part.

 

[Foreignman]

Ooooo, I like the pizza box idea. I'm picturing an empty box, sort of beaten up, that could open and close, and would have one slice left in it stuck to the box, that sounds ideal to me.

Ken-

I have been trying to email you for the past couple days. Is there sitll a problem with the Palisades address and if so is there another one I can send mail to?

 

[ResidentLilly]

Yeah our e-mail is WHACKED. Sad fact is, so is my home one. COMCAST SUCKS. I need to get another ISP.
