Bryan probably may not have time to read it.I have had to ring him and he has often said he hasnt had time to read the emails.I've contacted them via their website. Here's the message I sent:
"Greetings! I'm James, the staff graphic designer for fan site Muppet Central, freelance artist (formerly with Palisades’s line of toys among other companies) and I currently manage Action Figure Freddy, a collectibles toy shop in San Francisco. I'm wondering about the state of the Muppet posers since eFX Inc. took over for Master Replicas' wonderful series.
I understand the demands in bringing these art pieces to market can be remarkably challenging, but I've lost much enthusiasm for the Muppet posers lately due to lack of follow through in updates and the recent silence. I'd really like to promote you guys in every way at my disposal to help get this line started and keep it going strong! My MR posers will be displayed in the store and if I'm able to purchase your Rizzo, he will join them!
Fans aren’t entitled to every bit of information, but I’m just hoping for some straight-shooting updates, good or bad, concerning the state of things in order to build some good faith and confidence in eFX Collectibles. Is there any way you can announce such things to fans in an official capacity?
Hope all is going well! Thanks for your time and consideration!
-james"
We'll see what happens.
if he is attempting to run a business, he needs to make the time. Such blatant disregard for his possible customers can be harmful to any future business he can expect from us.Bryan probably may not have time to read it.I have had to ring him and he has often said he hasnt had time to read the emails.

Just to clarify, I wrote it SEEMS Bryan has another main job,as his full attention/time management is not completely with eFX, as the website is not kept up to date, limited email response, not in the office,limited PR,etc.I think it's time for us to all take a deep breath and live life with the info we've been given directly from the company (no matter how sparse that might be). I appreciate the second hand info but I think it's time for it to stop. I doubt some of these things (like Bryan's taken a second job, he's too busy to read your emails, etc.) were ever meant to be repeated, so a filter on what is passed on may be best at the least.
I'm not going to get excited to hear things like "a newsletter is coming" anymore – I'll be excited when the newsletter actually comes.
As for the fur being the holdup, if the fur was truly the holdup on Rizzo, then wouldn't they have moved on and released Kermit by now?
