    Would like to see the Lew custom. Got any pics?
  3. Muppetaz Member

    yes, I posted it, maybe it's having trouble loading on your computer. I'll try again.

    I gave my Steppin' Out Lew a little rose on his ruff collar, to make it a tiny bit closer to the way he looks when dressed like this in The Muppets Go To The Movies. If I come across the little bag of fabric roses from Hobby Lobby, I'll mail you one for your Lew.

    I was doing a search just now for a particular Muppet image, and found some doctored images done by Greg Whitehead, aka GWGumby, a few years ago when the Palisades line was still available. Thought you might get a kick out of this one, Taz...

    Only problem is, where's Kermit?

    Trying again...

    And for some reason, when I did that, the previous post's image works, too. Sorry for those reading this in the future who don't understand why it's on here twice. If we could only go back and edit our posts after the first hour expires, I'd have just fixed the one above.

    Wow!
    Incredible work!
  14. Muppetaz Member

    It looks like it was made at Palisades!!! :) :wisdom: :)
  15. LamangoNumber2 Active Member

    Hey, Muppetaz, can we see your whole collection? Like, near the stage?
  16. TSSD Active Member

    Wow, that's an amazing Big Bird custom!

    That's so cool, but at the same time it makes me really sad, lol. Ah, what could have been. RIP Palisades, we still miss you terribly. :(

    Hey Dearth, is that GWGumby, of Tink & Gumby? One of my favorite 'boardie' Muppet couples from the old days. :) Sigh. Were you Dearth on those boards too, or did you go by another name? I can't remember my name on there anymore, but I was a regular. I wonder if that 'way back machine' site still has the old boards and figure-pics archived? Hmm...

    Also, I'm still trying to track down a Link to hopefully have you make an awesome custom for me someday! :D
  18. Dearth Active Member

    I didn't join the Palisades forums until close to the end of that era, so I'm not sure if GWumby is the same half of Tink & Gumby, but there's a strong likelihood that he is. And, yeah, I think I was Dearth or possibly the full "DearthNadir" on there. I was gonna be DearthNadir here too, but had a glitch with my email account when I first signed up, and then couldn't ever access that screenname, so I had to re-register with a variant name.

    What outfit are you desiring for Link? Email me at Ploovo241@aol.com and we can discuss it.

    Wow, Christian, I wish you lived closer to me so I could get you to make me some of those wonderful hand-sculpted figures. I think you just keep getting better and better.

    So, has anyone seen Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode III? I bought it the other day and was watching it last night, and I kept spotting Palisades Muppet Show accessories.

    When Palpatine is looking at the damage to his face after Mace Windu deflected his Force lightning onto him, he's using Miss Piggy's hand mirror.

    And it's Palpatine again, in the cafeteria line with Vader, with one of Scooter's soft drink cups on his tray.

    I think I found my loose Starhog magazine last night, at least the box it ought to be in. Do you still need a better scan of it?

    If you were going to sell that broken Zoot, how much would you want for it? I need a 'beater' Zoot to customize into a purple tux Zoot, but the prices are way too high to cut one up.
