    Muppet merchandise invades Barnes & Noble this November

    We just got the white Kermit in today (I work at B&N). And I must admit, I wondered for a minute if it was a manufacturing error...Anyway, we've been receiving Muppets stuff the last few days. So far we have Corgis, UNO, Dominos, plush Kermit, puzzle, the Muppet Christmas mini-book, and the...

    Ken, picked up the Swedish Kitchen/Chef on Friday. It is soooo great! Unbelievable, really! No problems, everything included in it really rocks. But I can't figure out what the little white "shelf-looking" thing is supposed to be. Could you tell us? Thanks a bunch!

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Hi Ken, I've been picking up all the Toy magazines with nice pictures of all the Muppets figures, and I can't help but wonder what in the world you're going to be showing in these magazines the rest of the year? You've already shown so much, is there anything left for all of us to look...

    Hey Ken, People have mentioned Floyd's ponytail being missing...I am just wondering, is the ponytail supposed to be removable or permanent? My Floyd repaint's ponytail came out as soon as I turned his head the first time. No big deal, it's quite simple to stick back in, but I was just...

    Mahna Mahna...I never knew. Did you?

    Hey, get this everyone... I'm an avid listener of "The Dr. Demento Show". It's a nationally syndicated radio show dedicated to comedy/novelty music and sketches, and related things. ANYWAY...Dr. Demento played a double dose of "Mahna Mahna" this weekend when he played The Muppet Show...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I'm wondering if regular Rowlf will be the figure included in Vet's Hospital playset?...Ken was toying (no pun intended) with the idea of having Nurse Piggy and Nurse Janice with nurses uniforms and including scrubs as an "alternate" outfit that we could put on them over their nurse uniforms...

    grail, Very interesting to hear your take on Luke Ski. Your honesty is refreshing. I must agree with most of what you said. To Luke's credit, his work has been getting consistently better. But, yes, he is a very "dedicated" self-promoter. Still, it's nice for me to see people who are...

    Hi matleo & grail, Sean Morey also did a song with the same "joke" called "The Baby Song". (grail: Da Vinci's Notebook is great! I tried to book them at my college campus before they had received any airplay on Bob & Tom, but nobody knew them-I'd heard them on the Dr. Demento Show. My...

    Denny's Commercials

    I live in Chicago and I thought I recognized the waitress in the Piggy/Kermit Denny's commercial. Turns out...I did! There's a local tv show over here called "Wild Chicago" in which the funny and talented staff showcases quirky area businesses, celebrations, conventions, etc... Well I swore...
