Hi all -
Is anyone as frustrated with eFX's neglect of their license for 'The Muppets' as I am?
I can understand Corgi/MR not continuing with the photo puppet replicas because of low retail demand coupled with high production cost. I get it.
However, eFX must have known all about this before acquiring the license.
Further, what really drives me crazy is that the time to have successfully marketed & sold these products was contemporaneous with the release of the new film. It seems to me that if this line was to be produced the time to have done it was when demand was at its peak. Now that the movie is out of the theatre (and with the Blu-Ray/DVD release due next month), interest in this product will surely wane.
Which leads me to my ultimate question: is there any hope that we will see more Muppet replicas?
Is there anyone from eFX that can address these issues? The site hasn't been updated at all relative to the Muppets.
I am still searching for an MR Animal by the way....
Regards,
Sean
