The back of the collectors set also has the cards;
They were both.Were the Rock n Roll Elmo and Ernie TYCO or Fisher Price? I wanna say Fisher Price
The variant was Elmo. When TYCO released these, Elmo was holding a toy boat, when Fisher-Price rebranded them under their name, Elmo was holding a puppy instead.Since Palisades never came to fruition this is probably the best set of figures. They scale nice on the 123 playset from the '70s.
I never had this package, but got most of them individually (I don't have Ernie since I didn't want him in his robe roaming the street lol, Prairie or Snuffy) and have at least 5 of the 6 additional figures (Herry, Honker, Mumford, Rosita and Two-Headed Monster [can't remember if I have Natasha... don't think so]).
The Muppet Wiki page says one of the 19 characters had a variant making a grand total of 20 figures... who's the variant of?
Eventually I acquired an Ernie giving a thumbs-up with sunglasses on... better than nothing.I'll admit, I kind of don't really see why they wanted to make Ernie in a bathrobe - he could easily still be holding Rubber Ducky while wearing his normal clothes . . . nevertheless, I'll agree, it seems a tad strange to see him out on my scale model in his bathrobe, but I still had to have him anyway, lol.
Amen. Some of my earliest memories are getting the individuals carded at CVS.I'm bummed that the box for the one I ordered (pics shown above) isn't in the best condition, but all the other listings for this set in the box were anywhere from $60 to $100, so I'm glad I got mine complete for about $40. Can't wait for it to arrive, I've been after the set for years ever since I saw a picture of it many years ago. It came out the a year after I was born so that's kinda neat to have a relic from that time period.
I think I had that!I'm glad we finally have a thread for this. I have A LOT of Tyco ss toys but I'll start with the one I got most recently. I got the infamous Rock and Roll Grover at a thrift store for 3 dollars
He is in great condition, still has his tags and everything but I had to give him new batteries
