LOL! Nate that was a hoot! stuff like that is a blast!

as for the holiday topic's

(the Egyptians and pre-Spanish Mexicans, for example) celebrated this as a festival of the dead.

I guess i was part right about halloween, holidays are diffrent to people all over, i think that's the best way to put it.

Foz! your right! whoopi worked her way up from a Nun to God! she even played Santa Clause once too;-)



Zack,

Vell then, I'll tell my little fiends to see what they can do about fixing up the Palisades board by the crack of dawn. Hey Luke, guess I'll post my questions here as well.
First, just how did you gain access to the UK Toy Fair? Is it open to the public unlike its American counterpart? Second, how does the new packaging's appearance differ from the original from S1-3? What's this I hear about a new green and golden art design? What's this I hear about a new Muppets logo? Please describe what both the new Muppets logo and packaging art design look like. Third, did the prototype of Dr. Julius Strangepork have all of his accessories included in the mock-up packaging? Was the smaller figure version of MAMMA shown off as well? Please describe what this figure looks like. Thanks in advance for your response.

Count,

As Jamie said, pretty much all of the answers can be found in the updates in my Toy Fair thread. However some answers to questions that weren't. The UK Toy Fair is a trade and press only fair and not open to the public (however some people manage to sneak in). I work in the UK Media and so i qualify as press and can get in. The UK Toy Fair is a lot more kinda British stiff upper lip stuff - i think Travis would have brought a Tux if he'd known so many people would be suited and booted. I know i felt that way ! LOL !

The new Muppets logo is the one thats been on a lot of recent merchandise. It's been around a little while now actually - probably over a year. It's a green 'Muppets' with a pale blue background. The new packaging differs in that the old design was traditionalist (to celebrate the anniversary) and the new one is a very modern and brighter look now that they have expanded into a general Muppets line rather than just the original show.

The prototype shot of Julius in packaging did not have his accessories, however i believe some of them were included in the official shots that Palisades released on their site a while back. I can't really answer anything on Wave 4 better than you guys as i've seen exactly the same as you really, just in mock packaging.

Hope that helps, continue to check out my UK toy fair thread as i'm going to try to post about waves 5 and 6 now.

I don't know if this is what you ment so not to put words in your mouth, but Halloween isn't about worshiping the devil, it's not really about dressing up in a costume and go trick or treating either, i mean that's not what started it. I know i'm not 100% right but i thought it had to deal with the day of the dead which is celebrated by spanish people who look back at the loss of their loved one's showing they will always be rememeber, only it's like a big celebration, "not that they are dead" but a look back at there live's and how much they are loved and missed.

there more to this though, but if i go in to detail's i'll never come out of it.;-)


Zack)Rowlf the, i just keep going, and going, and going, and going, and...Dog


And going too!

Sorry to bring this up again, but, Zack, Halloween may have started out that way, but has been twisted into a devil worshiping holiday. Dressing up as ghouls and semons to be rewarded with candy sounds kinda nasty to me. I also know for a fact that's when people come out to sacrifice black cats (I worry every Halloween about that). While it may have started out just a way to honor the dead, it turned into a demon worshipping holiday. Sorry, it's just the way I look at it.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled questioning.
