I was wondering about that Luke--if they'll do it that way, or have the bus set up so from the outside it looks like they're sitting down, but inside they'd be standing up...not sure how it would work either way, quite honestly.

But it's probably WAY too soon to even broach that subject with Ken.

Breach?

Breech?

Beech?

Beach?

I'd better stop.

Once the playsets are sold out, I don't see anything stopping them from making Animal or Janice repaints after that.

Ken said a possible future Dr. Teeth variant would be Teeth in his tux with torn sleeves, if I remember right. But definitely no remakes of the Philly Teeth figure.

Yay, Ken's gonna post from China! :big_grin:

I have a feeling the bus won't be able to hold figures. It'll be like a giant HotWheels car, I could be wrong, but that's my hunch.

Absolutely...but I don't know what other things she might have other than a hat right now. Skulpt is done, so when the bus gets started we'll make the determination.[/B]
Heeheehee..."skulpt is done"...

I know, how exciting is that?!? Janice is the figure I'm most looking forward to! I remember when I was a kid, I sooooo wished for a toy Janice, now 20 years later, I'm getting my wish!

Oh gee - i hope not - that'd be like having a big bus PVC that does very little, we need it to seat the figures (or stand if really not possible), open out so you can put things in, maybe even a removable or hinged roof so you can play inside. Janice at least could be jointed so she could sit down and drive, seeing as she's the one coming with the set.

Maybe we need to get some comments and ideas on this playset, and maybe even a vote like the Rizzo so we can show what the fans general opinion is ? I know we don't actually know for sure yet, but some gentle fan persuasion might give a nudge in the right direction.

Most of these characters look like they can bend at the legs if not the knees (though I haven't seen Janice yet). I think they thought of a bus possibility all along. Dr. Teeth can sit, Floyd has "ball jointed" legs (not sure if his outfit prevents him from sitting, but he can bend), Zoot has knees and Animal's legs look like they can bend at the hips. No problems really. It may not have been how I would have planned it, but it certainly seems to work. No resculpts needed.

I am certain that if a bus is built (with the level of detail Palisades gives their playsets) all the band members will be able to fit. They only need two rows of seats and the driver's spot for that. Hmmm...me thinks this is the best place for all the repaints! Lets hope we get a Janice one too!
