Figmental's Collection and Customs

[figmental]

Inspired by the threads of Dearth and J3h, here's some photos showing my (current) collection and some customs (for now, only the stage).

The Band. Lotta extra space for Animal, Zoot, Lips and Janice. (SOMEDAY)

The Stage with Kermit, Jim and Fozzie. I'm in the process of sprucing it up with posters and other accessories. I have some Indiana Jones accesories and random wooden boxes back there. It's kinda poorly put together... because the walls are a brick layout scrapbooking paper taped onto cardboard. Yup. The base, however, is styrofoam with dollhouse hardwood floor glued on. I'm eventually gonna give it a roof and maybe some lights... and maybe even replace the walls with styrofoam and that neat vinyl bricksheet everyone's been using.

The Kitchen. It's kinda dark on that shelf... but keep in mind these pictures were taken with a cell phone. Maybe I'll break out the digital camera and take some new ones. BTW theres another penguin behind that counter, with the singing foodstuff I have on the island.

Newsman with Popeye's pipe to make him look more news anchor-ey.



More pics to come.

Muppet Labs (or should I say Lab). This playset is kinda lame and pretty crowded with only 3 figures (and one of them isn't touching the ground.) Once again this shelf is pretty dark with the cell phone camera.

The rest of the guys on the Muppet Labs shelf. You got Rizzo, the Robo-Rabbit on the table thing, Patrol Bear, and the hard to see because he's behind Patrol Bear Invisible Fozzie (Well, he is invisible....) I kinda want to move Patrol Bear somewhere else and get a small figure (like Pepe) to go where he currently is. Or I could just move Crazy Harry there.

The random/outdoors-ish shelf. On this side is the Frog Scouts, with Sam Arrow and Captain Smollet in the back. This shelf is pretty dark, so I shined a light in there to make it easier to see.

The other half with the Rainbow Connection set and Rizzo, Gonzo, and Polly. I kinda like how Rizzo is sitting on a PoTC cannon. This shelf could use some more... I'm thinking an Adventure Kermit if I can get my hands on one.

I kinda ran out of figures for here.... but just got a Steppin' Out Uncle Deadly so he might take up some space. Here we got Piggy, Harry, Scooter, Tux Kermit, Stunt Gonzo, and Beau. This is my makeshift "backstage" because there's no way I'm getting the playset.



So, any suggestions as to what I could change, or what figures I could consider adding to my collection?

Also, isn't it weird that I have some pretty rare figures (Jim, Rainbow Connection, Frog Scout Kermit, Rowlf) but I'm lacking some common-ish figures? I'm appalled that I've never gotten Animal.

Anchor-ey? Ha! I love it.

I like the little pieces of news bulletins that he's got on the desk in front of him, too.

Thanks for the comments, Dearth. I'll probably post some updated stage pics tonight.

Anyone care to comment?

Nice collection! I wish the backstage playset wasn't so expensive. It's the only one I'd really want.

 

[Telly]

I like seeing other's collections

 

[figmental]

Yeah, I kinda am thinking that I'd trade half my figures for a MIB Backstage playset.

Also, I put up the stage right wall for my stage, expect pics soon.

Completed stage with posters. It still could use some touchups, however.

Looks great Figgy....

Personally, to make it more Muppety, I would put the posters at odd angles, to look more messy and thrown together....
But otherwise, I love your stage set!
I can't wait to see completed pictures!
