So, as far as I remember, DST labelled their Muppet figure run as follows.
Series 1 (S1) included:
Kermit The Frog, Robin the Frog, and Bean Bunny 3-pack (Anchor figure due to Kermit).
Fozzie Bear and Scooter 2-pack.
Gonzo the Great and Camilla the Chicken 2-pack.
Series 2 (S2) included:
Animal (Anchor figure).
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker 2-pack.
Statler and Waldorf 2-pack.
Series 3 (S3) included:
Miss Piggy, Foo-Foo, and Muppet Penguin 3-pack (Anchor figure due to Piggy).
Floyd Pepper and Janice 2-pack.
Rowlf The Dog, Crazy Harry, and Mahna Mahna 3-pack.
Then Series (S4), though they've been released as individual exclusives, included:
The Swedish Chef (Anchor figure).
Dr. Teeth and Zoot 2-pack.
And I believe Sam the Eagle and Rizzo the Rat 2-pack would complete the line-up.
We know the next release will include Uncle Deadly and Pepe the King Prawn as a 2-pack. Does that mean this 2-pack is:
a. to be considered as continuing S4?
b. a stand-alone 2-pack thereby abolishing the notion of duely denominated line-ups for future releases? or
c. the first/anchor figure for what would/should be named S5?
Also, on the subject of future figures... Besides speculating which figures DST hasn't made yet that are missing from the Palisades era like Newsman or Lips or Pops, I'd hope that DST got to making figures of characters Palisades never included like George the Janitor or Mildred Huxtetter or Annie Sue or Hilda. I'd add other names to that list but I don't know what exactly DST's contract covers in terms of Muppet franchises. Do they have rights to only classic TMS characters? The Jim Henson Hour? Muppets Tonight? all eight theatrical movie releases?
Just some little things to think about.
