Nate, I believe to know what kind of figures you're talking about. My PVC collection started with Sesame but branched out into Disney. There are the smaller, regular-sized figures and the larger set pieces. Amongst the larger pieces, I have four: The Lion King, Mufasa and maybe Simba perched above a giant rock; King Triton seated upon his throne with trident in hand; Prince Eric standing above a couple of barrels with his dog, Max near to him; and Princess Ariel in a downwards diving pose ready to recover a sunken treasure chest. The largest single figure is one of my fav characters, Lord Hades. (Though I never really knew why they started to leave the bottoms of the Hercules PVC figures hollow.)

I have those Count, but actually these are bigger then those. The Disney store had a great set of larger PVCs, but the ones I talked about in a prior post are even bigger then these that we're discussing now.

Hmm, it seems weird that 3 will cost 15 being more then one muppet figure costs, i wish they where all still coming togther, but they still seem very worth it, yes they are still in the works and i have the same feeling about honeycomb sam, and too dark thog, his ear's seem a little short...i don't know...i just drew a picture of Thog today and gave it to some one as a valentine;-)

i have to say and i must be the first...i don't like the gonzo...it's too...too...too PERFECT! LOL! i'm kidding!!! it's great!!!!

but really, i don't like the piggy for some reason...i don't know why, i think the ex action figure looks better.

Who brought up the subject about lunch?

Nah, then these weren't those PVC's Nate. These had a base of approx 4" across and about 4 or 5 inches high.

Depends on whose melons you're matching them up to.

DOH! :eek:

My grandfather raises Watermelons AND cantaloupes AND Honeydew melons. Based on those, are you talking about those sizes, or the size of a large red Washington apple?

Well, nevermind.

I just want the Muppet PVC's..and I'm in a hurry for series 3 now.

I will most deffenitely buy them. Hopefully, by that time, I'll be rich and famous and will be able to afford to buy them! :stick_out_tongue:

Dream on, Scoot.

Either that, or I'll be working at EB Games and get a major employee discount! So, again, I say::stick_out_tongue:

Gonzo, the Weirdo of my dreams!

Hey gang,
Just thought I'd let you all know that I dreampt (is that the right spelling?) that I'd picked up the purple suited Gonzo at a store, that there were a rack full of them, but each had the nose pointed a little more to the left or right. Luckily, I found one just about in between. It was really cool to get this long-awaited rendition of my favorite character. However, later in the dream, this dark-bluish/purplish paint started coming off the nose, all over my hands. However the painted toy was just right on the nose. I guess it's just seeing that great rendition of the PVC that finally got it right, as well as talks of him coming out on the newsletter, which I sadly miss out on. Still, Ken, please tell me the figure's face more closely resembles that of the PVC then the Series 2 one, not that he's bad, or anything. Just the way it should be. Thanks a lot. Take care.

Hi Luke! yep i just saw them! Painted Pepe is really cool, but i feel his neck is too long looking up at the pepe in menu up top this page. his arms are amazinlycool and will look really cool holding a group of items. he's coming with a lot of stuff inculding the hair dryier i said before, plus flip flops, a beach chair, beach umbrerlla, and i think a beach ball. maybe one or two more thing i can't think of now.

Purple tux gonzo, well i still don't like the face, the hair on him from the front view looks great, we will have to wait to see the back. the tux is great,but camilla i feel needs some work.


oh and a few MCC unpainted PVC were shown too, kermit and robin look great! the ghost of Chirstmas Present looks cool too, and skating penguins are fantasic! Statler's marley face is shown too! I think the MCC is perfect for the PVC line only.
