Digit

[The Count]

Yes... Digit is a great character, like his voice cause it sounds somewhat like Christopher Lloyd in imitation.

BTW: Of the Muppet figures released, what would be a good base figure to use if turning any one of them into Digit?

I would think Beaker

Rully? Wouldn't the figure need to be a bit bulked up to look like Digit? I understand Beaker's hair maybe being along the easier lines for customization into Digit... Guess I thought of Bunsen's head for the head shape, coloration, and glasses... And Dr. Teeth's arms and jacket, since after all Digit was also the keyboard player for The Solid Foam, which is the custom figure project I'll talk over with my one-man customizing master.
If there are any other opinions... *Looks at Von Michael aka The Jim Henson Hour, please feel free to LMK.
Thanks.

I'd say muppet new mans body. and sculpt a new head.
thats what I have planed to do at some point.

Thanks... Will talk it over with my customizer when the time comes... But what about the suggestion of Beaker's head for the hair and the Newsman's body?

I'm going to be honest: I probably don't know as much about figures as you guys do, but I think Ed's suggestion for Beaker's head for the hair and the Newsman's body makes a lot of sense.

From what I've seen of the characters, all three of them, that would make sense. And you could probably take the newsman's head and shave it down some to emulate Digit's head I think. XD

Thanks Sara... Like I said, when the time comes I'll discuss it with my customizer. Though the Newsman's tie would have to be sanded off... But first things first, gotta gather the extra figures and collect and pay off the project he's working on now.

beakers head is to thin for digits head..I will post a shot of them together.
along with the muppet news man so you can see why I say to use his body.

your best bet would be to just have some one sculpt a new head for digit and use cliped peices of real wire for his hair.

Thanks VM... Will show it to him when we get there... Hoping he's finishing the current figure though.
