I'm going to come out and show my support for Lips (though how would you do an info sheet for him on the package? Better get a message to Steve Whitmire pronto!:)), the Frackles, the Carrot, Annie Sue, Nigel, and the brown-haired doe-eyed girl Whatnot from Season One (dubbed by one of our own...
Re: Wayne & Wanda
Warrick,
Wayne & Wanda have come up quite consistently in the "Most Obscure character you'd like to see as a fig" thread. While this is far from a guarantee they'll be made, it may move them up a few notches on the possibilities list.

Tux Kermit
Hey where can you order Tux Kermit online? I've tried my local TRU and they haven't been much help so far; I give them the SKU but nothing shows up on their computer.
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Nope
The Keith Moon rumor was officially denied by the Henson company. They're just a compendium of musician types.
The only band member based off of a particular musical personality was Dr. Teeth, who was based off of and named after the blues musician Dr. John. The rest of the band...
This is just a wild guess, but I'm willing to bet there was a Lynda Carter/Wonder Woman figure at the time of the show's run.
There are also some companies (can't think of the name) who make detailed figures (of porcelain maybe?) of classic TV characters, so that could include Gomer Pyle (Jim...
correction
#111 is Carol Burnett, not Carol Channing. Also, in the Lynda Carter episode, Annie Sue plays Piggy's sister, not daughter (although later in the "Wonder Woman" series that would've made her Wonder Piglet or something like that).
I think you may be right about the Annie Sue...
$30 sounds fair. I'm willing to join (though it probably won't help me with VC Beaker, unless Ken needs another reference tape:)

Well, I think I'm sort of self-appointed chairman of the "We Want a Thog Figure" committee, but other than him I'd like to see Uncle Deadly, Mahna Mahna and the two Snowths, and for more obscure, my namesake Gorgon Heap (if he were big enough to fit another figure inside of him; of course, that...
I had thought of going to Chicago; my sister lives. But I am a college student and I am trying to save money (to go to Muppetfest 2 among other things) and I probably wouldn't be able to get the weekend off. Probably too late to plan (for my sensibilities, anyway).
So I'm asking anyone who...
Ken,
I think you may have missed the post (on page 57) but what do you think of the idea of Rizzo coming with talking food?
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
Rizzo accessories
I believe I heard this mentioned before, but in case I'm the first, I know something that Rizzo could come with (if accessories for him are going to be a trick): talking food! Rizzo eats and eats, talks about food and eating all the time, at least since he's come to...
Questions for Ken
I'll try to be brief:
If Strangepork is coming with MAMMA, is the Swinetrek model still on, and if so is it coming with Link?
Is it a certainty that the backstage set will be a regular one and not deluxe? I agree with the last person who said that the backstage playset...
Still haven't gotten mine yet
I didn't order Piggy until May 21st, but even so if they shipped on June 12th I would think I would've gotten mine by now. I'm in Michigan, don't know if that makes it any different.
When they ship your order, do they email you or anything to let you know it's...
MAMMA info for Ken
Ken,
In case you needed to know this, the robot MAMMA is spelled with three M's and stands for Music And Mood Management Apparatus. MAMMA appeared only in the Dudley Moore episode.
Is the small Swinetrek model still on, and does MAMMA's inclusion mean it will be coming...
EB Games has moved the Lab to July 1st. That was to be expected, and seeing as the playsets have only just left the factory, it's an acceptable switch.

Gumby-
The Robot Rabbit appeared in Muppet Labs in the Zero Mostel episode, which incidentally was the first show to feature Beaker. The rabbit wasn't actually a Muppet Labs creation- what they were advertising that week was magnetic carrots, which "sometimes tend to attract steel rabbits"...
Ken,
Quick question for my future reference which you've no doubt answered already: all future Piggys (First Mate Piggy, Nurse Piggy, Biker Piggy) will have the head sculpt with hair down, correct?
David "Gorgon Heap" Ebersole
I forgot about that. I wondered for a long time if they were the same character (since in "Hugga Wugga" the character never says "Sclrapp Flyapp", which is according to Henson.com all he ever says).

Re: Merdlelidop
You know, we never have found out how to officially spell those little guys's name. That does it, I'm emailing Henson.com and finding out once and for all.
BTW Ken, perhaps for the craters for the merdlelidops (sp?) you could scatter them around and put push buttons on the...
