New Light Shed on 2004 Palisades Figures and Playsets

[Fozzie Bear]

OH BOY! Wow! I'm too excited about this!! I agree, even if the doors open to a drop off it'd be cool if they opened up so we could at least build dressing rooms for back there!

I don't remember there being the pole in the middle next to the stairs going down. Of course, I've never seen the stuff Palisades is likely able to see.

This thing is just too great.

I hope I live through the whole time to collect all these things and play with them before I kick the bucket.

Not that I plan on it, but you know...

Back at ya, little buddy!!

You should start a whole thread for that!!

The pics are also on the Palisades forum. Also there's the final of PIS (on the forum, not in a Daily Bit).

As to the questions:

Ken recently told me that Nurse Piggy won't come with Foo-foo.

Ken still wants to do Lips, eventually. I couldn't think of anything Lips would come with, except maybe an Electric Mayhem album. Ken said he couldn't tell me what Lips would come with, but it'll be sweet- um, that is, it would be sweet.

My own guess is we'll see Lips in 2005 but don't hold him to that.

Well, now wait a second there Gorgon Heap.

If the contract ends at the end of 2005, and we can't or shouldn't hold Ken to an actual release of Lips in either 2004 nor 2005, then when would we hold his release for? After 2005? The contract would be over by then and Lips still wouldn't have been made. That is, unless he does get made and released in either 2004 or 2005, or the contract gets renewed and Lips gets released in post-2005 terms.
Hope this helps, and sorry for the comment above.

Thats pretty cool(thebackstage playset) Its going to come with gaffer cat right?

Uncle Deadly; very cool. I hope we see more ornately obscure characters like that.

To be honest, I wish Palisades or another company made a smaller line, so it would be like Star Wars line...where we got a whole mess of characters. If I Was rich that's what I'd do...instead of 4 characters every few months, like 12 characters every few months!

Also I am saddened: no announcement on the theare?

 

[The Count]

Well, to tell the truth, it seems like as if Ken's waffling on whether or not to include a figural representation of Gaffer with the backstage. Before closing down the "Muppet Questions 3!" thread over at the Palisades forum, he said that Gaffer wouldn't come with the backstage. But then in the "Muppet Questions 4!" thread, he said that nothing had been decided one way or another. Gaffer might be included with the playset, as well as being included with a designated figure, as well as be saved for some other release opportunity.
Hope this helps and have a good day.

Don't be so upset over the theater! Remember when there was no announcement about the Backstage?

I don't want the action figures smaller than they are, but I did have a desire for them to appear in the size of those Star Wars Action Fleets, with the moveable arms and legs! Just imagine how the playsets could work THEN...you could fit the entire theater, backstage, dressing rooms, etc, in one box. That would be cool. Of course, smaller characters like Rizzo and Pepe and Robin would have to come as a little piece with no movement on them at all, y'know.

At a wild guess.... a trumpet?

At a wild guess.... a trumpet?

And theres always the suggestion I made about a tiny EM Bus model like the Swine Trek.
