we've already said in the past, and I've forgotten, but wasn't Rowlf in a tux in the 30th celebration of the Muppets?

Nonsense - being able to carry off a Tutu is the sign of a real man, i bet those guys at Palisades walk around the office in pink Tutu's all the time. I can just imagine Ken pirouetting into Mike's office to seek advice on the Janice 'boobage' issue. :eek:

I would date someone in a tutu.

As long as they don't smell TOO fishy.

Sorry I spelled Rowlf wrong. I am home sick today. I guess I feel worse than I thought.

As for TUTUs.... gender nor macho have anything to do with it. As I said I am a girl. I just think that people will be over it about a week after they buy it. Plus, I like the idea of a little magnetic (or elastic held on elevator op. hat. It just make better memories for me.

I would dig a sparkly Pepe in a tutu and magic wand. I'd really dig it. I would just like the bellhop-type outfit first. He wore it a lot more than 7 seconds and it means more to me. I could go for a Pepe representing each day of the week!:big_grin: I'm glad a lot of people want the bellhop version too. I guess the hat would be permanent on him because of the hair.

Why do people think that sweater vest Gonzo is modern? That's so mid 80s. I wouldn't mind it, but would prefer a more modern look with an interesting pattern like the yellow shirt he wears these days. But I would go for both.

Tux, smux, who cares? The figures need to be carefully sprinkled throughout the line or it will die an early death. If you are worried that Rowlf or Sam wouldn't come out with a nekkid version, may I remind you that they already had a standard Rowlf sculpt? They are trying to improve it, but if the line started to dive, I know they would release it somehow. Same with Sam. They practically have the whole thing made. Patience, people. They are solid. I think the tuxes are regal looking and very appropriate.

Tutu is manly man form of expression! Haha! Prance around take much courage!

boobage. Hehehehehehehhehehehe!

I agree totally, Jamie. I would like to see bellhop Pepe too, but I just loved when Pepe came prancing out in that thing! I think that was one of those steps that had to be taken for the Muppets. Like they said on the Beauty and the Beast commentary, "No movie is complete without a drag gag."

I would love to see Gonzo in the pattern suit, yellow shirt, adn red pepper tie. That is ninties Gonzo. Hopefully, that look will stick into the 2000's. But, then again, Gonzo has that turtle-neck, button sweater look now. That's pretty neat. But the suit really reflected his crazy side. Something that has been lost in recent years, other than a few one-liners about exploding socks and such. (There's one scene that will forever stick out in my mind that represents what Gonzo should be. It's in the Muppets in Walt Disney World. Gonzo sings a song about "Love in a laundromat" where he and Camila go through a wash cycle. That was the best thing for Gonzo since The Great Muppet Caper when he jumped in front of the taxi.)

Umm, Ken...Guy's? i don't know if this idea has been said before for items for pepe, nor if people find it a good one but...

How about some Loose Jello okay?

It would be kinda pointless, but maybe one thing more to come with the door and jar?

I wonder why the bugle for Gonzo will look diffrent..yet again...how can the bugle look diffrent??

I kinda would rather have Pepe in a tutu for now...the bell hop suit is something that Seymore and pepe should both if not come together then on seprate card in the same series later on or ex's. we are living in seymore-less days now and that 7 second Pepe Tutu bit has run on longer...

I still would like a seymore fig, but right now that's not on the radar so i think bell hop pepe could wait in the elevator a little longer...

Zack,

That list was tentative anyway, as none of the accessories had been finished. Even as late as today some changes were made to that possible list, so remember that until the final sculpts on the accessories are nailed down it's anybody's guess what they will come with.

At the factory stage accessories shift and change too. At first there weren't going to be bases in Series 3, then at the last minute that changed and now there are. Even Rizzo may not come with the Pizza Box...may hold that back for Pepe depending on whether we can make it work the way we need it to.

Anyway...just FYI...the S5 accessories are still in development.
