I just think a Pepe would be better than a 3rd version of a character and he would contribute to the longevity of the line. As for lesser known characters, Ken has expressed a liking for Lewis Kazagger and Lips is on the fence it seems, but certainly not with us fans. Most of us are for him, of...
It is my understanding (though I could be mistaken) that if 2002 is successfull, that there will be 4 waves in 2003 so there will be no "bumping" of any of those characters. It's not a big deal if Pepe doesn't get made, but I hope he does. On another thread some people are proposing third...

I understand your loyalty toward classic characters, but I think if people on the board had a choice between Pepe and a second..uhum...third version of Sam, they'd prefer Pepe. Why another Scooter too? I'd rather see Nigel, Lewis Kazagger or even Mildred before a second or actually...
Ken was talking about a possible Animal repaint this year.
Anyway, the reason I'm not hot on another Sam or Kermit is that they are unneccessary 2004-type figures. I'd rather see some characters that haven't yet been made at all - much less someone like Sam (who will have 2 figures already)...
I see that there is a way that Gonzo, Beauregard, Statler, Newsman, Reporter Kermit, Nurse Piggy, Dr. Bob, Waldorf, Lips, Exploded Beaker, Patrol Link, Patrol Bear, Marvin Suggs, Uncle Deadly, Rizzo, Motorcycle Piggy, Pops, Gaffer, Sweetums, Robin and Thog can all be included in 2003 and Pepe as...
Okay, I guess you throw the term " brillant" around too easily. I can understand that some people enjoyed the film, but calling if brillant is going a little bit overboard in my opinion. Citizen Kane is brilliant, MCC is a film you enjoyed very much. But I guess in the end it is all relative. I...

I understand that the sets are a little more expensive, but they will be easily available to all. The reason the characters are packaged with the sets is so that they will sell. If these cool characters were not packaged exclusively with these sets they may not be profitable to make. I...
I disagree. Brian has already directed two of the films and hasn't had much box office success. He reportedly had a lot of influence in MFS too. I think he should stick to producing and puppeteering. That's just my view. There needs to be some new fresh life breathed into the Muppets and I think...
Eeeek!
Rizzo, Pops and Marvin Suggs have been pretty solid ideas for a while as Ken has continually mentioned them that way. Uncle Deadly has been listed as a possible for some time now and I think there is a big probability for Lips seeing how popular he is around here so I don't see that any...
I didn't think anyone was funny in the commentary. Rizzo is beginning to grate on my nerves these days as he is over-exposed. I kept wanting Kermit to come back! I found the commentary to be skillfully executed, but there was no substance to it.
Brian Henson, of course, directed MCC and MTI...

But I thin that there will always be some classic character that could be made instead of Pepe, but there really is only one, Rizzo, would likely come after him. And Im sure more classic characters would be made after Pepe. People are treating this like Pepe would be the end of the classic...

Waldo, Digit and Leon aren't even in the public's mind anymore these days (well maybe Waldo). I believe active Muppet characters should take priority over forgotten ones, but I definitely think two of the ones you listed should be made. I think Leon is as likely and would be as big of a...
Drtooth
The idea of a Beaker exclusive has been mentioned by Ken many times and he they will likely make an exploded version of him. I think a different version of the Chef wouldn't have much value, but Animal is one of those that I hope will have an exclusive. I included it as a fave idea on...
What I don't think some of you guys are getting from the posts is that Statler and Waldorf would be out before/or at the same time as Pepe anyway. Furthermore, characters like Sweetums and Patrol Bear are not competing for a spot because they will reportedly be in sets.
The only major...
Ken
Yes, Yes, Yes!
I can easily understand everyones concerns about the inclusion of classic characters, but by the time series 6 rolls around it looks like all the big guns will have been representes except for Rizzo (and Sweetums & Robin in the Theater Playset).
Seeing how gung-ho...
