Jim Henson figure box revealed

[rexcrk]

Does anyone know where it'll be exclusive to and when it will be available. My dad came in and told me that he really wants me to get it. Fortunately I do have 20 dollars so I'm gonna hold onto it for Jim!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I think it'll be available from the website www.palisadestoys.com in their online Direct store.

It looks very nice.

It's nice to see the red curtains background used on this box (I've always liked the curtains better than the current blue background). My one little complaint about the box is that it doesn't show Janice with the rest of the classic Muppet Show characters, otherwise the box and the figure are fantasic.

A Little Town Called Marrow

As I am sure you all recall this is the figure of Jim which appeared on the Muppet show with the Jerry Nealson puppet and sang a wacky song about a town call Marrow in the State of Ohio.

It is a great tribute, and looks really very good. I am not collecting the figures, mostly because I do not have the money or space to keep them or display them. This one I will want to get for sure, and with out question.

"I have never been much of a traveler and I really didn't know that Marrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go."

I love that song:

To Morrow
I started on a journey about a year ago
to a little town called Morrow in the state of Ohio.
I've never been much of a traveler, and I really didn't know
that Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go.
So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
for tips regarding Morrow not expecting to be guyed.
Said I, "My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return
no later than tomorrow for I haven't time to burn."

Said he to me, "Now let me see if I have heard you right.
You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night.
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today
for the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.

If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don't you see,
you could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three
For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right,
today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night."

Said I, "My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your hat.
There is a town named Morrow on the line now tell me that."
"There is," said he, "but take from me a quiet little tip.
To go from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour trip.

The train today to Morrow leaves today at eight thirty-five.
At half-past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive.
So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump,
can you go today to Morrow and get back today, you chump?"

Said I, "I'd like to go to Morrow but can I go today
and get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?"
"Well, well," said he to me, "and I've got no more to say.
Can't get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today."

Said I, "I guess you know it all but kindly let me say,
how can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?"
Said he, "You cannot go to Morrow any more today
'cause the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way."

I was so disappointed. I was mad enough to swear.
The train had gone to Morrow and had left me standing there.
That man was right in telling me that I was a-howling jay.
I could not go to Morrow so I guess in town I'll stay.

So the Jim figure is on pre-order at Toywiz.com for $34.95, to ship in December, listed as a Collectors Club figure. Haven't seen it listed at Palisades yet though...

 

[Whatever]

It'll be twenty dollars at Palisades, and they won't list it until it's available.

 

[mikealan]

Where can I look for the exclusive Jim Henson action-figure? I've been looking for that for a long time...

 

[Whatever]

Like I said in the post above yours, it will be sold at www.palisadesdirectstore.com when it is available in the US, which it isn't yet.
