Mikealan, a few questions for your ideas if you please.
1 When you say Big Bird in necktie as an exclusive from S1, do you mean to have Big B in some sort of formal attire to serve as a counter to Tuxedo Kermit from Palisades' S1?
2 Why are the series planned to include either five or six figures as the regular lineup? Are you planning to have some of these added to the series lineup even though they're not released as an official part of the line like Koozbane Kermit from Palisades' S4?
3 With regards to the question above, shouldn't your fourth, sixth, and seventh series be fragmented into halves either as different waves of the same series or separate series thus totaling 10 series? And why so many exclusives planned for the series characters?
4 Now let's see what we can do about bringing some of these ideas into development. Been mulling this one over for a while tonight to get you started on the rest.
S1 Big Bird: If the plan is to release a figure version of Big Bird of the same quality as Palisades' Muppets line, and if this figure were to be made in scale with the character itself and the rest of the figures in the line, then it would have to be along the lines of the proposed figure of Sweetums and also measure either 11.5 to 12 inches tall including the three head feathers individually sculpted. Very few accessories could be packaged with this figure, but there's one that might help its sales. The figure of Big Bird would take up the space in the center of the plastic tray and bubble placed on the cardboard backing. However, there could be a long cylindrical space to the figure's right occupied by the Sesame Street lamppost. The Sesame Street sign is packaged below the figure in its own blister similar to the bases from Palisades first three series. The sign would have two little connector rings at the edge to help it connect around and onto the lamppost. The upper left hand corner could also hold a smaller figure of Little Bird.
Articulation: Little Bird could have an articulated head which allows for some side-to-side motion, flapping winglike hands, and fully swiveling feet. Not sure if a figure this small could contain such points of articulation and still be included in the overall packaging.
Big Bird would have fully rotational head, neck, opening beak, shoulders, arms at the elbows, torso, and legs with pegholes in the bottoms of his feet.
Hope this gets the creative juices flowing.

Let's keep on with Mikealan's proposed Sesame figure lineup.
S1 Tagline: Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?

Ernie: Mikealan already said that the Twiddlebugs would be packed in with this figure. First off, the figure of Ernie would be moved over to the right of the plastic tray. That way we can fit in the accessories to the left of him. If Scooter from Palisades' S3 and Reporter Kermit from S4 will have a ton of accessories, then I don't see a problem with packing a limited number of added pieces to the figure of Ernie. Next to Ernie, there's a shiny brass bugle made to fit into Ernie's hands and Rubber Duckie in an upper portion of the center of the plastic tray. The left margin of the tray is filled in with a window sill flower box for the Twiddlebugs. A small beige or ivory white soap dish is pressed into the plastic under Rubber Duckie, and the four Twiddlebug figures are placed in the remaining space of the tray. The Ernie figure should probably have the same build as the figure of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew from Palisades' S1. Of course, it would have Ernie's black hair above his head rather than leave the figure bald. He's also wearing his classic red and blue horizontally striped shirt, blue jeans, and red sneakers. The shirt's neck and wrist cuffs are yellow, and thin stripes of gold and white separate the red and blue stripes of his shirt.
Articulation: Ernie would have head swivel, neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, legs, and feet. The Twiddlebugs would have limited articulation in their heads, necks, arms, legs, and wings. Not really sure if their hands and feet should be articulated as well. All four: the tall violet mommy, squat blue daddy, the older and taller red daughter, and the smaller orange son, would be able to maneuver into their flowerbox home and fly around the other figures when played with. A smallish classic house could be built into the flowerbox for the Twiddlebugs and a set of patio chairs could be built in scale underneath a few blooming flowers. Rubber Duckie can either fit into Ernie's hands or be placed on his soap dish.

The rest will come to me as I give them some further thought.

Here's the next figure part of Mikealan's proposed Sesame Street Action Figures s1.

Oscar The Grouch: Mikealan said that this figure would include a figure of Slimey the Worm, Oscar's pet worm. Well then, how's this? The figure of Oscar shows his fully furry body, reaches just a little bit taller in its height than the Ernie figure, and is placed to the right inside the plastic tray. A tattered umbrella stands to the figure's left and serves as a walking stick. There are two trash can lids stacked together towards the lower left corner of the plastic tray, which both fit either inside the figure's hands as clashing cymbals or underneath as miniature flying saucers. Three rusted tin cans connected by a thin plastic strand lines the top of the plastic tray, ready to be clutched by the figure and rattled at any rude onlookers. The figure of Slimey the Worm and an apple occupy the remaining space inside the tray. The apple has a hole near its top just snug enough for Slimey to crawl into.
Articulation: The figure of Slimey has limited articulation thanks to its swivel head and the joints near the center of his body, allowing him to bend around any branches or obstacles in his path. Oscar's figure has articulation points including a swivel head and neck, torso, legs, ankles, shoulders, wrists, and elbows. The combination of the shoulders and elbows helps bring the umbrella cane into a more natural walking position at the figure's side.

The rest will have to wait for later, but at least now we're halfway through with the regular lineup proposed by Mikealan for Sesame Street Series 1.

Hey about those sesame street action figures, I have an idea for palisades. Palisades with the big bird playset, this is how I picture it. So there is the doors to big bird's nest. The doors are able to open and close . Then inside there are all of the accessories that are on the tv show. So then there is a big nest about 4inches wide,2 inches high. Then the playset should be big enough to fit Mr.Snuffleupagus. Then with the exclusive big bird with a tie, the action figure should come with an assortment of ties. Another playset shold be the sesame street live stage. The stage should be at least be 20-25 inches wide and then the circular stage should be 8 inches wide. Both stages should be able to conect together. When you put it together,there is a clicking sound. The stage has the logo and has a backstage kind of like the muppet show backstage. But the stages should be able to have up to 20 characters. The stage is about 25 inches or 35 inches high. Which means that it is able to have about 2 big birds standing on top of each other. Those are some of my ideas for some collectors items.
