Ask Ken at Palisades

Sounds great! Trading cards would be cool too, but I'm glad that the packaging is growing to include other things. Very glad about invisible Fozzie too! I mocked up a pic of all the figures together that I use as a screensaver. The Beakers aren't in it yet.

Frogboy4!!!

Hiyaaaa!!!!!!!!

Hey, the "Tin Man" Fozzie really wasn't the Tin Man...it was a suit of armor for the Pearl Bailey episode; Rowlf the, Zack, Dog said it right: The WizofOz medley was for the Muppets in Hollywood (?) or Muppets Go To The Movies show and Fozzie was the Lion. I don't recall him in any other outfit than those.

At the old boards, Scarecroe created that FOZZI3B3AR sig for me because I didn't have one, and where his screenname came from playing Scarecrow in the stage production of WizofOz, he took that pic of FOZZIE in the suit of armor to match my monicker after the fact that I got stuck with the role of the Tin Man in the stage production of WOO. He and I had discussed our Ozian Histories at MFest.

I just WISH Gorgon Heap would verify that the information in the first paragraph here would be correct, cause I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong! HAA!! (Yes, I am.)

I also agree with Rowlf the, very good, Dog that more Fozzie is very cool. Like a rubber chicken on ice.

Ken, I've turned on 2 of my friends to the Muppets Figures!! They're most impressed with the Dr. Teeth, and everyone who's seen the figs displayed in my apartment say (tho) that Piggy looks too tall and too thin--they're thinking of Old Piggy, and I explained that JHC wants the look of the New Piggy, but they hated that idea. They DID love, however, hair down Piggy, but said she's still too tall and too thin. I'm having fun playing with them!! LOL!! So far, Kermit's been karate chopped 3 times, and Bunsen's rabbit once. BTW--My rabbit keeps popping apart, but I like that since he IS after all a Muppets Labs creation! LOL!!!!!

While I LOVE the idea of the trading card info and coming attractions on the back of the packages idea, I still really dislike the Invisible Fozzie figure idea.

I already have an invisible Fozzie. He's right over there on my invisible shelf with all the rest of my invisible Muppets.

 

[frogboy4]

It's an exclusive, what's to hate? If you don't like him you can pass because he's not in the regular assiortment. You'll be able to see part of him I think. Not my fave, but a clever idea - and a save if the animal can't be done.

 

[Luke]

So is the invisible Fozzie actually totally invisible, or in like half-vanishing mode ?

This is probably a FAQ question by now but looks like i've missed it. Anybody knows, just jump in ...

 

[SuperGrover]

Oh, I don't hate. I just think it's a been there, done that thing that will only take away from Vanishing Beaker. And we don't need that any more than we need a Kermit with a banjo for an accessory. j/k.

I just think it's a movie thing. If a Muppets From Space partially visible Fozzie can be done, why not a Kermit with a banjo?

I'm still hoping for the Animal.

I'm with you. Although I am glad we are finally getting a series 2 figure, I would prefer the Animal, or a Crazy Harry repaint.

It might get to the point that with every series people will be expecting a clear variant.

Personally i am looking more forward to the rubber duck rather than Fozzie, but then thats just another of my peculiarities. I agree that an Animal would be cool but if not possible, then what can an action figure maker do than provide a quality alternative.

Actually if it was just a question of time, i would have liked another Kermit repaint but like Artie's custom one where the Kermit Tux was painted to look like the Muppets Take Manhatten Kermit with the purple/silver suit. To be honest - that looked better than the regular Kermit tux version from Palisades.

Hey, if we had time to make a banjo in steel molds in three weeks, I would have gladly done that. Problem is that we had to come up with a solution that required the simplest of simple solutions because of our Factory Beefing of the Week. Looks like there is always at lest one Beefing each week.

So anyway, yeah Invisible Spray Fozzie isn't the best of solutions, but it is the best of the AVAILABLE solutions. And I have NO idea why but people love clear figures. Bottom line is we needed to get an exclusive in three weeks...and I'm suprised we'll have something that is at least a "real" thing from one of the characters...something that actually happened. Thank Warrick for that...it was his suggestion, and it was a really good one.

 

[ResidentLilly]

Oh hey...Luke that TMTM Kermit would be very cool...Mike even had a good suggestion of a companion VC Bunsen, but we really think we have done enough Series One variations, so Series 2 seemed to be a must for us to make, know what I mean?
