how you rank the muppets tonight characters

[minor muppetz]

if you were working on the Muppets action figure line, what ranks would you use for the Muppets Tonight characters/ heres how I would do it:

big guns: Clifford, Pepe, Johnny Fiama, Sal, and Bobo.
secondary: Seymour, Dr. Phil Van Neuter, Nigel The Director, Andy Pig, Randy Pig, Bean Bunny, and Spamela Hamderson.
Fan favorites: Bill The Bubble Guy, Mulch (yeah, I know he was on the muppet show), David Hogsohog, Zippety Zap, Carl, Gary Chuenga, Mr. Poodlepants, The Bird Announcer, and The Muppets Tonight band.

even going by that list, it seems like all of the big guns except for pepe (and maybe clifford) are a little in between big gun and secondary status, while many of the secondary characters are more in-between secondary and fan favorite status (although I think Bean Bunny is also in-between big gun and secondary). and most of the characters I listed as fan favorites might actually be too obscure to have released in action figure form (and I know that many fans dislike some of those "fan favorites").

what are you're thoughts?

I never saw an episode of Muppets Tonight!, but because of movies like Muppets From Space I became familiar with the characters. I don't really know how I would rate 'em, but I DO know I would've taken a figure of Bobo or Sal over Dr. Phil van Neuter...

I would put most of those characters with the fan favorites, since most of them were used mostly for U.K. spots (which i haven't seen). Mama Fiama only appeared in three episodes, Ernest Spleth is probably moe obscure, captain Pighead and Craniac were rarely seen outside of the new Pigs in Space, and the elvises rarely appeared outside of Great Moments In Elvis History (a sketch that wasn't shown very often). because of Muppet Treasure Island, i think Clueless Morgan and Polly Lobster would be somewhere between secondary and fan favorites. Although I haven't seen any of the u.k. spots, I do wish that a Snooky Bloir figure was produced.

Randy Pig
Mulch

Series 3

Series 5

Bobo the Bear

[minor muppetz]

that would make a good five series muppets tonight line-up. maybe carl could be called Carl The Big Mean Action figure.

for the jim henson hour cast, here is how i would rank them: (yeah, i know that most of them would normally be considered fan favorites)

big guns: Digit, Bean Bunny, Vicki, and leon.
Secondary: Clifford, Beard, Flash, Lindberg, and waldo c. graphic.
fan faves: Solid Foam Drummer, Zhondra, Chip, Ubu, Anthony, Fern, and Jaques Roache.

a possible jim henson hour collection (including muppet show characters) could include:

series 1
kermit the frog
Digit
Clifford
Zhondra

series 2
Gonzo
Leon
flash
solid foam drummer

series 3
