Hey,
I think that if you just made Sweetums at like 11" and then Thog at around 13", Aslong as Thog is a little bit bigger than Sweetums.

Sweetums is obviously not going to be to scale to the rest of the set like Kermit and Piggy, So making Thog smaller doesnt make any difference.

I would really love to get a Thog figure !
Maybe he could come with a material made pink jumper with a red heart on it ?

Seeign as he couldnt really come with anything else !

And that would bump him up in the Cuteness factor, So more people and "Teenage Girls" would buy him!

See ya

The Pigs in Space playset will be released late December/ early January. Miss Piggy will come with it while Link and Dr. Strangepork will be sold seperately at the same time. The figures will be around 8.99 a piece and the set will be around 24.99 with Piggy included. A deluxe Muppet Theater playset will come out at the same time, containing Statler and Waldorf. Hope this helps. If you would like to know any more info - www.jamesvier.com/muppets/figures
This is the running list. Nothing is final, but series 1-4 are relatively firm. Series 5-8 are projected if the Palisade's line makes it that far (cross fingers), but series 5 is pretty close to the mark too. 6-8 contain many guesses. Remember - things have been known to change. Hope this helps.

YES! NO! MAYBE?

Okay...let's have some yes, no and maybes here if at all possible. I have been out of touch for a while...


1) Nigel the conductor*

2) George the Janitor*

3) Hilda from wardrobe*

4) Gladys from the cafeteria*

5) Mildred, from wardrobe?*

6) J.P. Grosse, owner of the theater.*

7) Lewis Kazagger

8) Lips*

9) Uncle Deadly*

10) Wayne & Wanda*

11) Boppity Frackle* (Blue) and Gloat Frackle* (Green)

12) Mary Louise (maybe her name?)...the human muppet with long brown hair and "sexy" eyes? She was in dance sketches a lot and always in one of the arches at the opening of the show.

The ones I put asterisks by (*), in my opinion, should definitely be made...looks like Lewis is S.O.L.!

So help me...if there is a figure of Angus Mcgonwhatever or Lewis Kazagger and some Koozbanians...BUT NO LIPS, NIGEL OR GEORGE...you WILL see a grown man cry!

Warrick.

I still think that Sweetums should be around 10 inches so that he is easier to display and I still have concerns about him fitting inside the theater. I think Thog could be 1 to 1.5 inches taller than Sweetums including the horn. As long as he is noticably taller than Sweetums and Sweetums is twice the size of the Muppet gang - I don't see a problem.

As for things coming with Thog - I wouldn't likely dress him in the outfit you propose, and I am sure he will likely come without accessories due to his cost and size.

Alex-

One's I'd prefer in order:

Lips (could be likely)

Uncle Deadly (very likely)

Nigel (not likely)

Blue Frackle (and maybe even Green too)

George (not lilely)

Mildred (least likely, but I like her)

Lewis Kazagger

J.P. Grosse (he owns the place, but I'm not that wild about him)


Ones I don't care for:

Hilda

Gladys

Wayne & Wanda

Mary Louise

(all very unlikely

BTW Angus has been scrapped - at least for 2003 (if that happens).

A note about the selection. Some of these would likely have to wait until 2004 because the slate of projected possibles seems filled. Check my chart of reports and guesses (all guesses are noted and not necessarily preferences): www.jamesvier.com/muppets/figures/

frogboy-

Sorry if I misquoted you. I don't need a huge Thog figure either, but I would prefer him to be slightly larger than Sweetums, as you said Sweetums clocking in at about 10" and Thog 1 to 1.5" taller. That'd be peachy.

Hello Ken, and congatulations as well, I wish the best!

That is what i thought in regarding to Rowlf and a piano stool, I didn't think it would come with one.

I have a question on the Rowlf tux, is the reason why it is not being made because of fan's not being able to get him easliy? I think that's what i heard? but then Rowlf will get jipped in which he will be one of the only main characters not to get an exclusive.

I mean i personaly would perfer a Rowlf tux before a Scooter Super hero. Not saying that Scooter shouldn't get an exclusive, I'm just saying that a Rowlf tux could be used more then just a scooter super hero, because a lew,link,fozzie,gonzo,piggy super heros outfits are not coming out. so a Rowlf tux would work better. athought as long as a dr Bob fig come's out I think that's fine, just to at least get two Rowlf figs, and a dr Bob would be more inportant to the set then the tux.

Zack)Rowlf the, I think Rowlf should get an exclusive before Lips(if fig is made) would get a repaint,Dog.

I have to agreewith Jamie (most of the way). My priorities are a bit different but Unle Deadly and Lips are my two top choices forfor characters not set in stone for next year. then Kazager, JP Grosse, and George and acatully I think I would like to see a Blue Frackle. I think Palisades could do a real neat job with it. I'd like to ee Wayne and Wanda although don't xpect to see them (same for George to be truthful).

Mildred, Hilda, Gladys, etc. I don't care if I don't see them. I have ha;f the seris ontape, I haven't seen one with Mildred (besaides seeing her in at the Dance) Only seen Gladys once or twice and frankly find her a little frightening and I don't thik enough people would remember Hilda or Nigel. And who is Mary Louise? I don't rememebr her at all!

Also, nobody has mentioned Pops who is my other main choice for a character to get made.

Yes they have but not on this new board. People were hoping for Pops as the figure to go with the backstage playset. If there was one.
