Favorite Palisades figures

[That Announcer]

I'm conducting a survey: What are your five favorite Palisades figures, in terms of sculpt and character accuracy? As a bonus, you can include your least favorites as well. Mine are:

1) Johnny Fiama
2) Sam the Eagle
3) Dr. Bunsen Honeydew
4) Lew Zealand
5) Fozzie (original)

The worst is the original Piggy. What do you think?

 

[Harvey Towers]

Only working on the basis of what I've got, my five favorites are:

Sam the Eagle (S8)
Clifford (S6)
Pops (S9)
Swedish Chef (S9)
Rowlf (Backstage)

Some of the figures have never appealled to me:

From pictures:

Miss Piggy (S1)
The Great Gonzo (S2)

From some of the more recent ones I've seen in the shops (if I remember rightly):

Tuxedo Fozzie Bear (S9)
Dr Phil Van Neuter (S8)
Marvin Suggs (S8)

As far as likeness and sculpt, my top 5 would have to be, in no particular order:

Series 8 Sam, shifty more than regular

Series 5 Gonzo, though the nose paint wasn't perfected until later

Series 9 Pops. Perfect except for the lack of those tiny stripes.

Series 7 Jonny who just rocks.

Series 6 Waldorf is right on with the modern Waldorf.

There are no many others though!

Lew Zealand (S3)
Fozzie (S2)
Gonzo (S5)
Swedish Chef (S9)
Sam Eagle (S8)

Honorable Mention:
Sweetums (omgcnf exclusive)
Floyd (S2)

Least Favorites:

Miss Piggy (S1)
Gonzo (S2)
Dr. Phil Van Neuter (S8)

Dishonorable Mention:
Clifford (S6) (Only because we have him and not Sal Manilla)

What does Clifford have to do with Sal not being made?

 

[That Announcer]

I've got no idea.

Why is everyone ragging on Dr. Phil? I own his figure and find it to be rather well produced.

 

[MWoO]

Well he does suffer from sticky paint but as far as sculpt accuracy he's real nice.

 

[That Announcer]

Oh yeah, the sticky paint is... well, you know. Frog Scout Robin's accessories seem to have the same paint on them. And I just realized that Beau is not one of Palisades' better efforts.

 

[MuppetsRule]

This is like picking your favorite kid. They are all great. But if I had to narrow it down mine would have to be:

Jim Henson
Fozzie
Rowlf
Sam
and the Kermit mini-figure with him sitting on the log

 

[Docnzhoss]

What does Clifford have to do with Sal not being made?

Nothing directly. I just think that Sal is a superior character to Clifford and am disappointed that they chose Clifford as their second Muppets Tonight character and not someone more deserving.
