Figure Ideas
OK, Ken! You asked for it and now you're going to get it! Here are my figure ideas for the Muppets. Please note that each is developed in the future hopes that some of these might actually be made.

3 Row of handcuff shackles lining the left wall.
4 Jail cell tucked into the corner and ring of keys just out of reach on the wall.
5 Chalk outline base that can be pegged into the floor or removed and placed along the wall.
6 Wanted posters lining the rest of the back wall.
7 White low-lying ramp with a police car resting on it and garage door just behind the car.
Series 8 Lineup: Summer 2004.

Clifford- comes with dark, wine red base guitar and strap.
Miss Mousey- She wears a white brimmed hat and matching white gown; comes with small spider and bowl of curds and whey.

Lover's Crossing Wayne and Wanda- both are dressed in their regular clothes; comes with collapsible chairs. Push one of the chair's legs outwards, and they all move outwards, straightening the chair. Push one of the chair's legs inwards, and they all move inwards, causing the chair and whoever's seated there to fall in on itself.
At the Dance Playset
Figure: Evening Dancers Wayne and Wanda- each dressed in their formal tux and gown respectively.
Description, from left to right wall:
1 Four white marble columns at the corners connected by a light blue back wall.
2 Vaulted ceiling, with two chandeliers hanging from it, rests atop the columns.
3 Tiled floors to both the left and right side of the dance hall.
4 Table and set of chairs on both sides of the hall's tiled floors.
5 Danceing floor, painted in a light slick beige, placed at the center of the hall.
6 Music Speakers and arched alcove for figures line the back wall.
7 When Wayne and Wanda are inside the alcove, pull the knobbed keystone out, and the rest of the archway's crumbling blocks topple crushing them underneath.
Note: The back wall is the only one in this playset, allowing unrestricted manipulation of the playset through the other three wall openings.
Series 9 Lineup: Fall 2004, Monsters set.
Regular Figures:
Uncle Deadly- comes with his exquisitely ghastly pipe organ.
Mulch- comes with a pair of garden clippers resembling a metal munching mouth.

6 Coffin chambers tucked next to the towers that reveal muppet monster bodies inside.
67Dr. Phil's diploma and medical license hanging on the right wall.
78Swivel chair and filing cabinet in the front right corner.
The monster bodies inside the coffins are composed of eyes, fanged mouth, torso, arms, and legs. Each of the pieces connect to each other by means of small magnets, thus creating the possibility for endless variations. The monster lying on the operating bed also has small magnets in his wings, which can be removed or reattached later. The baby bats can be removed from their shelf and brought down to the operating bed as if they were assisting in a new experiment.
