Custom figures and dioramas

Was watching the Harry Belafonte episode the other day, and noticed that the straw hat which Fozzie wears as the 'Tally Bear' is almost identical to the one that Palisades included with Vacation Fozzie.

I didn't want to build a full diorama for one marginally customized figure, so I doctored some frames of the episode to remove Belafonte, Fozzie, Link, and the other pigs. I didn't worry over the parrot in the foreground since I knew I would be cropping it differently...

And then I bluescreened Fozzie into it:

Hey Dearth, I gotta say...Your movie Usher Scooter has a bit of Nigel the Conductor's frown going on...

Know what diorama I would love to see?

The showdown from TMM. All the muppets standing together around Kermit, with Giant Animal's head popping out of the top of the saloon.

Also, I would love to see the '4 ft. prune' prop, as well as the dancing rain barrel.

I am looking forward to seeing whatever dioramas you have created. They are awesome!
I personally would like to see a "Western Sketch"(The Day Kid Fozzie Rode Into Town) one.:embarrassed:

Fozzie: "Does this sound like John Wayne?"
Not really. You sound more like Fozzie Bear with a cold.

"Fresh outta the pan, Sweet Gingerbread Man!"

My younger son was eating some gingerbread men the other day, and it made me think of this sketch. As I was watching it, I realized that not only could I stitch together a cool backdrop and print it out... but in this particular instance, I could technically do the same thing with the five Muppet characters!

Ho ho ho!
