Ask Ken at Palisades

[Kye]

SIZE=3]Hey Ken, I would love to find out if there is going to be a Display shelf or large muppet theatre playset .. I already have so many muppets...And i want them all....but where to put them??? How about it... A Theatre Display Shelf... Man, I'd even dish out a few hundred for a great one!!! be sure to have a little Balcony for Waldorf and Statler! Whaddaya Say???![/SIZE] [B

 

[Luke]

Yeah a surf board would be cool - she has that line about 'i just took 3 months of surfing lessons for zip !'. The chase figure could have a different color surfboard design - maybe they could have like a Muppet relevant logo or isignia on it like Vacation Fozzies suitcase had the stickers.

 

[The Count]

Spens: Clifford is already planned for release in S6, so that frees up one space in your schedule.
As for Emily Bear, how a bout a framed picture of either Fozzie or Fozzie's Dad, and a banana cream pie ready to throw at Fozzie for any bad jokes.

 

[WiGgY]

Maybe "Pepe's Surf Shop, Ok?" could be on the board. or maybe not

Drumroll please...

Series 7
Rowlf The Dog (TMS): Includes a regular figure of Robin the Frog; brown upright standing piano, candelabra, and a glass filled with root beer for Robin to hold.
Open Slot: Depending on what Palisades decides, I'm leaving this space open for Lips or one of the variants.
Johnny Fiama (MT): Includes a regular figure of Sal Manilla; microphone for Johnny, record or disc player for Johnny's albums, and a stool and bunch of bananas for Sal to sit down while Johnny's singing.
Marvin Suggs (TMS): Includes a long countertop table, at least two mallets, and pink and orange Muppaphone heads placed on small rounded white discs all along the table.

Exclusive-- Patrol Bear Fozzie (TMS): Includes all the policeman gear seen over at palisades' daily bits.
Lips Repaint (TMS): Wears a bright orange jacket, flowers over his arms, and beaded necklaces.
This series makes allowances for probable Palisades' plans. Should Lips be released along with S5, then one of the exclusive figures takes his place. If Patrol Bear Fozzie gets released along with S5, then Lips takes his rightful place in the series and his repaint version becomes the S7 exclusive.


Series 8
Dr. Phil van Neuter (MT): Includes a regular figure of Mulch; brain sucker device and eggnog cup for Dr. Phil, miniature gargoyle to keep Mulch company, and Mulch's brain inside a jar.
Nurse Piggy and Nurse Janice (TMS): 2-Packed figures to prepare the way for Vet's Hospital. Includes wheelchair pushed by Janice, thermometer, nurse's bag, and jar of lollipops held by either nurse.
Link Hogthrob and Dr. Julius Strangepork (TMS): 2-Packed figures in their regular attire. Includes the Punching Bag from the Sylvester Stallone episode, water cooler with cups, and shrinking raygun.
Pops (TGMC): Includes a regular figure of Gaffer the Cat; soft plastic opening newspaper, desk booth, hotel luggage, flyswatter, and toy rubber mouse for Gaffer to bat around.

Exclusive- Tuxedo Scooter (TMTM): Includes 3D glasses, popcorn maker with light bulbs around the frame, silver tray with large soda drinks, and an usher's flashlight handy to find his way in the dark.


This is just an appetizer to get you guys ready for the rest of my glorious ideas. Have a great weekend.

 

[Super Scooter]

I finally figured out who Mulch is. It just hit me.

*Mulch enters and smacks me in the head*

Duh!

 

[kansasteen14]

Phil Van Neuter is a good idea dont know why I didnt think about that, and instead of Clifford how about Bobo the bear?

 

[Super Scooter]

Because Clifford is a much better character than Bobo, and has been much too ignored since Muppets Tonight.

 

[The Count]

Another drumroll please...

Accessories include a cold flaming death torch, a tombstone topped by a marble dollar sign, an ancient ledger book containing the Muppet Theater's bank accounts, and a copper or bronze treasury pot containing about three or four coins.


I'll limit my efforts to developing five series from S7 to 11 according to Ken "Resident" Lilly's instructions.

lol Why do so many people insist on cheating the 4 figure per series rule with 2 packs?
