    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...

    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...

    Ken, Is that a picture of the re-sculpted Animal head on the back of the VC Beaker box? He looks like he might be a little redder than the pinker earlier version, and I can see some wild hairs lower on his head. Could this be, or does he just look different because it's a head-on shot...

    Trade: Philly Teeth for VC Beaker?

    This is probably a long shot with the recent news of the Collector's Club, but I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to trade a Philadelphia Wizard World Dr. Teeth repaint for a Vanishing Cream Beaker from the Chicago show. I mean I will have the VC Beaker to trade. So...any takers?

    Bunsen Problem Hi Ken, Just got my EB Exclusive Piggy (way cool) and Bunsen Honeydew (he was the only one in the line I couldn't get at my local EB initially). Here's the potential problem: As soon as I turned his left leg, it came off! I looked to see that his lower half was not...
