Yes, but I haven't seen her on any of the proposed release lists.

She'll probably be a Miss Piggy variant of some kind, exclusive to a sex shop that can only be ordered from websites based in Amsterdam !

Not to mention clipboards! To quote someone from the Simpson's Collector Sector "Oh, to be a clipboard salesman in the town of Springfield!" :wink:

Wow, I take a half a day off of work, and I have 50,000 posts to read, oof!

Anyway, first off I didn't say anyone in particular was whining, it just seemed like the arguement was circling and circling and getting nowhere as everyone was saying the same stupid thing over and over. Either you like the idea or you don't.

Second, I went on a little shopping spree yesterday (its fun to take a day off and go shopping...it's just hard on the pocketbook). One of the things I looked at, and then was very disappointed in were the Simpsons minis. Pictures of these looked really cool, but in person I thought they were kinda crappy. The articulation wasn't all that, and half the joints looked like they were falling apart. The detailing for a Simpsons figure was good, but nothing spectacular. And the stickers looked kinda crappy. All in all I wasn't impressed, and they stayed on the shelf (instead I bought Muppet Labs!!!! :big_grin: )

Anyway, don't anyone get their undies in a bundie. I just stated it sounded like whining. If you think its childish, then I suggest you take your ball and go home. LOL! :wink:

I think there was a bit more to the debate than that. I just don't think saying what you did helped or provided anything to the thread. It was your honest opinion though and i respect that.

Sometimes it seems like people are jumped on here for saying anything that isn't 100% exactly what they think the Palisades rep wants to hear. It makes people feel more uneasy about contributing honestly and we get to the point where (in the case of the series 3 prototype thread) many people seemed scared to say what they thought and started apologising for 'nit-picking' when the whole point of the thing was for them to comment from a fan point of view.

*Sigh* Luke, I'm not going to go head to head with you. We oftentimes haven't seen eye to eye with merchandising. I remember when you were having a cow about Ken even being on MC and getting all this free consulting, and how you thought it was pretty poor business.

I think its the pot calling the kettle black at times.

Why do you keep repeating this? I seem to recall a great majority of people dissing the mega Beaker, and the wave 3 Scooter, Zoot, and Lew. Personally, I am dissing the idea of articulated minis (which I thought Palisades were leaning towards at the begining of this thread) as they are shotty and the "in" thing right now, which means they will be "out" before you know it. The nitpicking on stuff seems to outweigh the positive comments of late, not that it makes a difference.
