On Master Replicas site, they have announced a merger with Corgi.I hope this wont effect any decisions/quality over the Muppet Replicas if the company becomes too corporate?? A lot of the Corgi cars dont look too accurite, especially the character figures.:frown:

Whos taking over who? Will Corgi be the one who has to move all their stuff or will MR be the ones making changes?

Muppet Corgi

Actually I think this could help improve the quality of Corgi cars. While Corgi has always done great miniture vehicles, when they have added characters to them is when the quality decreased.

And look on teh bright side, maybe we'll get a new updated Muppet car set out of the deal!

:big_grin:

Corgi didnt do much research when they put the Tom Baker Doctor in the Jon Pertwee car.But on Muppet cars, I would love to see a car(like a Taxi) or bus with the main Muppets on it or hanging out of it like a Disney Taxi I have.I am yet to see a Muppet car that has more than 2 characters on it.By that, I mean 3D figures not stickers or painted on like the 25 years Nascar. Not sure who will be the leading company.It sounds like they are buying each of the other's shares.

Wouldn't a scaled version of the Electric Mayhem bus by MR be awesome?

Scaled to fit the Muppet Replicas inside perchance? *laughs* Ooh, think of the expense.

Corgi have taken over Master Replicas.No one will be moving.It will still be seperate, although Master Replicas will now be a brand of Corgi.:concern:

One thing I hope for now is die-cast Muppet vehicles from the movies. I wanted Palisades to do that, but they weren't licensed for die-cast. Not necessarily scaled to the action figures (oh BOY that would be awesome). 1:18 scale would be schuh-weet!
