Dioramas

Yeah i might try it myself. Y'know Jamie that'd make a great article for MC with photos and things. Maybe some people's Muppet figure customisations could also be included as well as picture instructions on changing Piggy heads.

I have my Muppets set up inside the Colorforms Muppet Theater from the 80s. It's the perfect size and a good theater set until we get the real thing. The set comes in two layers so it's easy to create a stand between the background and the curtain frame for the cast to stand. Characters can also be placed infront of the set. This creates a tiered effect that works well.

Do you know where I could find a pic of the colorforms playset or where I coulld buy one?

I'd try ebay. They circulate every now and then. It's the colorforms set that has the famous Muppet cast poster (pre floating head Piggy) on the cover. I also use the Muppet Disco colorforms set for the repaints and tux versions.

You SHOULD post pics of that Colorforms set--I haven't ever seen it, and didn't even know it existed. And a DISCO set? Wow. Very cool.

I almost bought a little mirror ball the other day for my Muppets, but decided Disco was dead and should remain that way.

Quinnnnnnnnnnnnn

Ohhh. Poor disco ball. Well, disco is dead, but the disco balls are here to stay. I remember that recycling commercial about a beer bottle that became a disco ball. Always made me smile.

I'll take some pictures in a few weeks. The set up is really kind of cool. The disco set is pretty borng, but the theater rocks.

Colorforms

Quinn, here is a pic of the 1981 Colorforms set you were asking about. http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/muppets/toys_doll.shtml

Was there a seperate UK version of that Colorforms set too ? It's just i have it (i think) in the attic boxed away somewhere and i'm pretty sure that i had Gonzo as a character with it as well as the others. I'm pretty sure the box isn't anything like the one in the picture and they aren't called Colorforms here either so i guess it would have had to be redone anyway.

Gonzo could have been in another one, but he is actually drawn on the theater panels under Statler and Waldorf.
