The Muppets line is winding down to a quiet end in 2005, but the ride isn't quite over yet. Like a roller coaster with one last, hidden hill, there are several great releases this year. One of those is the Muppets Treasure Island versions of the Cabin Boy Gonzo and Rizzo, released at the Wizard World LA show as an exclusive and now available at the Palisades Collector's Club. I love this set, and they have quickly become my favorites of the many Gonzo and Rizzo variants.

Great review. I particularly like that Gonzo head :wink: he he.

One thing I've noticed with the past two Gonzos is the lowered eye focus. Still looks good, but the first two releases had it spot-on (classic and black tux). Did you notice any difference? :concern:

Can't wait to get these guys in my hands!!! :flirt:

The eyes (pupils) do seem to point down more. My pupils were dead on straight, btw, but I've heard some folks say theirs were crooked.

The figures look awesome. I hope that they at least do a few Muppet figures a year. I dont want them to die.
