I for one have NEVER said that i would not buy a Pepe Fig if he was made,He'd be great! in fact my first post i said i couldn't even deside on this!! all thought i said i really don't want a Milldred fig, and i still don't, i just mean Lips,Uncle Deadly,Mahna Mahna and Marvin Suggs i'm still secpitcal on Nigel and Lewis Kazagger but not complety ruled out in my mind.

what I'm saying is that pepe will be out of place look funny with the group of muppets in the set, and should be placed next to Rizzo,Bobo Jonny,Sal...What if ken asked about putting Cifford insead? NO!he would look WAY out of place, Pepe a great great great NEW Muppet,I would never say i would not buy him, but should be with the othet new muppets later on. Pepe wasn't around during vets H, the REAL Pigs in space and Bear on patrol, he dose not work with the line that early.



these ones i think should not be made
Annie sue(she may be confused as piggy by some)but i may
change my mind on just her being made.

Tatoo lady pig

Yeah there hasn't been much talk about poor cute bean, but i think he should be out later along with pepe, I'm still not sure what Rizzo is going to look like? up to date or what?

You would rather have Turmpet lady and Tatoo lady pig (characters nobody knows that have no names) than Pepe, Kazagger or Nigel (the host of the Muppet Show Pilot I might add)? It just doesn't make sense to me and I find them very unlikely. Ken did take a liking to Lewis Kazagger and I think he'd be a cool fan fave. He'd also sell better than Gladys or Hilda in my opinion. I could be wrong, but I don't see any gray-haired ladys being that popular with the public as a semi-characature of a famous sportscaster would be.:smile:

I just think it's it bizarre and at the same time intriguing how different everybody's take on this is. Where's Luke on this debate? LOL!

I just really think this whole discussion was approached rather poorly. It was made out to seem like Sophie's Choice with the Muppet characters when that really might not be the case at all.:smile:

AHHH!GOSH NO! please read it again Jamie! i said I don't want them! DON'T WANT THEM! LOL!! never! uck!, no! in my rowlf endding i said they where mostlyall boring human type muppets.

tis' alright though, i said i don't want them made, Please thougth Jamie don't think for a minute that i would ever want a trumpet lady fig!and that goes for the lot of them on the list, Annie sue was the only maybe

I also mean that Lew Kazziger and Nigle I'm thinking about for later but i'd like to see Uncle Deadly, Marvin Suggs and Lips before them.

oh Jamie you scared me when you said that i would want a tatoo Pig fig? no! never in a million years!Please understand me!

I've never been big on the Milldred fig. She just doesn't seem like she would fit in with the muppets anymore and she didn't really leave an impact on the Muppet Show.



Zack)Rowlf the, LOL!I'm still in shock from this!Dog.

zach-

Ah, sorry I misread it. I getcha now. LOL! I still think Nigel, Lewis, George and Mildred are interesting enough for their own figures, but they are longshots.

Kev-
Sophie's Choice? Meryl Streep is Sophie! A film made back in 82. I can't give away the ending, but she has to make a terrible choice in the end. One of those that's like impossible. Anyway, I liken my tough decisions to the film. LOL!

Sophie's Choice!!!

SOPHIE'S CHOICE!!! EXACTLY!!! I never thought about it, Frogboy, but you, sir, are correct! HAHA!

I'm sure that whoever said it was right, Pepe would look awesome if sculpted by Palisades! But I think what Rowlf said was an EXCELLENT point...he would look out of place so early in the series. Where would you display him? With Vet's Hospital or Pigs In Space?
Like Frogboy and I concluded the other day, maybe after the 25th anniversary wears off and most of the older stock of Muppets have been realeased, we might see some of the Muppets Tonight crew...I must admit, I would be rather partial to a Johnny Fiama and Sal *sigh*

Jim -- the purist no more :smile:
