Fully aware that I probably won't get a response on this till Monday morning, here's my question. Ken, what do you think of the proposals so far and what are your ideas for the possibilities from Series 7 to 11? Of course, it wouldn't be anything already set in stone, but it would be very interesting to get the take and ideas of the one person who's in charge of making these things a reality.

 

[Luke]

Guys again, you need to remember that for an 'exclusive' in a wave it needs to be a character they already have in that wave or at least around it - so for instance in Wave One we had Regular Kermit, and then we had Tuxedo Kermit as the exclusive. In Wave 2 we had Fozzie Bear and then we had Vacation Fozzie as the exclusive. In Wave 3 we have Scooter, and the exclusive is Super Scooter. The exclusives are just modified versions of a regular sculpt in that wave. Hopefully people get it now.

 

[frogboy4]

I'm not sure if that's the case anymore. The character sculpts just need to exist in order for them to be made. That's why I think there's been a pattern so far.

 

[Luke]

Well yeah you could go back and use a character sculpt from an earlier wave character, as long as that sculpt design can be adapted to the variant you want. Some people have like Clueless Morgan or Emily Bear listed as an exclusive though. Personally i think it's better to use a character from that wave so people might go out and buy the regular version.

I have concurrent proof why Mahna Mahna *needs* to be in wave seven...and why I can think of a few Muppets he could easily take the place of in that still undetermined line...

As Ken pointed out to us today...

Ok, now tell me a Mahna Mahna with 2 character packin Snowths wouldnt be the (insert modern slang word for the bomb)

 

[frogboy4]

Gonzo is beautiful, isn't he? Great likenesses all the way through. A good mixture of classic and contemporary styles.

Love the Piggy sculpt. A major improvment over the series 1 figure.

Why does Sam's torso look like a honeycomb?
