Jim Henson Figure....When? How?

[frogtownhollow]

Hey guys,
Has anyone heard anything else about the Jim Henson figure release date, other than just "in September"? Also, will it only be available through the Palisades Direct store?

 

[Luke]

There is no specific date yet other than September. You can only get it via the Palisades Direct Store or possibly by attending a Henson Legacy event later this year. Collectors Club members may get a discount on the Henson figure, possibly free shipping.

Inorder to get the possible free shipping you have to order through the club store.

I don't evn think we'll get it this month...

 

[Whatever]

The scedule dates it in October.

 

[homerthegreat]

Yeah. I'm really looking forward to this figure. It looks to be the must-have toy of the year.

 

[frogtownhollow]

It always seems like the actual release date is a month later than the original posted release date.

 

[Luke]

Yeah thats the Palisades special code. When they say one month it really means the next. I don't think we'll be seeing S9 till a bit later either - they are still being finished at the factory. EB are saying early November for both that and backstage which is probably about right, and maybe much better for the line considering the holiday season.

 

[homerthegreat]

EB always has their stuff late.

 

[Luke]

Yeah but it's mid september now. They are still being finished at the factory. It takes around 3-4 weeks on the ship once they leave China to arrive, make it through customs and get distributed. So last week of October, first week of November sounds very accurate to me.
