First of two posts to respond to the thread's intent and fellow member DMX's concerns.
1 With the exceptions of S1 Kermit, S3 Zoot and S5 Janice, I've gotten all of my Palisades Muppets products at the local Electronics Boutique stores. Those three figures mentioned were purchased at my local Suncoast stores. The S6 lineup was purchased at www.boxingcow.com, with Vacation Fozzie and an extra Statler at Suncoast.
My point is that I've been able to find almost everything here at my local EBX stores in Puerto Rico.
2 As for figure breakings...
a. My first Animal lost his left wrist and right foot, which I exchanged for a new one straight from Palisades themselves.
b. The cables from the lab table and Floyd's amp both broke off, the latter being fairly recent.
c. The microphone holder from S2 Fozzie's mike broke off, but it's easy to put back into its hinge.
d. One of the halves of the handcuffs from my S6 Patrol Bear Fozzie broke, and I'm looking to try to fix or replace it.
3 The paint flaking off from the shoulders of the S3 figures is quite common, since Ken said that it was a design flaw resulting from miscommunication between him and the factory.
But if you're looking for answers to join up and collect the line, do yourself a favor and jump fright in! You can get help from the other forum members for filling gaps in the collection, and if you want you could also join the Palisades Collector's Club to get the exclusive figures offered up at the conventions.
Hope this helps and have a good day.
