I just think the whole idea of a Kermit puppet is so cute. :wink:

Hey Ken, just wanted to express some thoughts on the "Jim Henson Muppet" action figure. First off, I nearly cried when I saw the toy fair mock up. I was genuinley moved, it just seems so right. This figure will be the very center of my display, the obvious creator of all the wondeful Muppetiness that will surround him. The accessories are wonderful, I would strongly reccomend, however, a third accessory if there is any way, a director's chair with the name "Jim Henson" in white on its back. I have mixed feelings towards how old the Kermit he's using should be, but I'm sure you guys will figure out a happy medium. In terms of rods for Kermit, I don't think it's necessary, but if you did it right it could be cool. Well that's it for my say, hope it's helpful in some way.

By the way, will we be seeing anymore banjos in this line... hint hint wink wink nudge nudge know what I mean know what I mean *cough* Muppet Movie Kermit *cough cough*...

Gorgon Heap: It's cool with me so long as you got the piece you needed for your Muppet figures collection. Sorry for not contacting you in a while, just busy composing the S7 & Beyond Ideas for ken which is now finished. Also, I was waiting to get the cash in my hands and pick it up personally. Thanks for letting me know before actually plunking down the money. Hope you enjoy it and have a good fright.

Hey Ken

I tried posting this in a sepperate thread but no one answered it :mad: I was just wondering if you could tell me how the Muppets line is doing. Has it picked up at all since the first series? thanks

I had an idea similar to the one about crates, but mine was slightly different -- how about Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo coming with the crates from The Great Muppet Caper?

BTW, y'all should check out the new issue of ToyFare, where they have a better picture of Tuxedo Gonzo -- turns out that the nose is still purple with blue highlights after all. One thing though: is the tux dark purple with purple highlights (pockets, lapels, etc.), or are the highlights red?

Camilla looks much better as well.

I like the idea of the GMC Gonzo, Kermit, and yes even Fozzie even though only his hat is different, comming in the crates.

Also, is it possible for you to scan that Gonzo picture and post it? I'd like to see why that one is different. Was he repainted again?

Yeah, me too. The word is the nose will be very much like the Toyfare version. You do know the daredevil Gonzo's nose wasn't "purple with blue highlights" it was much more blue than that. Tux Gonzo looks about right.

Considered it...but then decided against it. Gotta try to stay in budget on this one.
