Hey guys,
The Muppet LEGO project over at http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/11050 is my proposal. It's currently at 950 supporters. When it hits 1,000, it triggers something at LEGO HQ that has them do a sort of preliminary review where they'll give you "official comments." Sometimes that's just "you're doing a great job, keep up the good work," sometimes it's something like "this is from an NC-17 movie, there's no way we can do something like that." So it'll be interesting to see what they have to say when it reaches that point.
This weekend I updated the proposal with the following custom-made minifigures, including:
Gonzo (Purple Tux)
Gonzo (Stuntman)
Camilla
Random Chicken
Sam Eagle
Swedish Chef (he turned out the best!)
Statler
Waldorf
...keep in mind that these are just ideas to illustrate what the Muppet LEGO line could be like...not necessarily how LEGO would actually do it. There are some barriers for this to make it into production, but not nearly as many as some people think. LEGO and Disney already have a good working relationship, and they've made some changes in production that put more new pieces (hairpieces, heads etc) than in the past. So things like a new head for Kermit instead of a standard minifigure head wouldn't really be a problem for them.
Anyway. If you have any questions, post them here...if you haven't registered and supported the proposal yet, do it. Even as a frequent participant on the LEGO CUUSOO website, I don't get spammed by them or anything. If you're interested at ALL in seeing how LEGO would make Muppets, you should check it out and vote.
