Since palisades has the rights to make Sesame Street block figures, I was wondering what you would like to see. I know that Palisades doesn't currently have ayny plans for block figures, but here is my wishlist for the first four series:frown:note: if Block figures were released in two three-character boxed sets, I will put a 1 by the figures in one set, and a 2 next to figures in the other box)

series 1:
Big Bird(1)
Ernie(1)
Bert(2)
Elmo(2)
Sherlock Hemlock (1)
Lefty The salesman (2)

series 2:
Oscar The Grouch (1)
Bruno (2)
Grungetta (2)
Grover (2)
Fat Blue (1)
Herry Monster (1)

series 3:
Cookie Monster (1)
Count Von Count (2)
Countess dahling Von Dahling (1)
Zoe (2)
Biff (1)
Sully (2)

series 4:
Telly Monster (1)
Baby Bear (2)
mr. Snuffleupagus (1)
Alice Snuffleupagus (2)
Countess Von backwards (2)
Prarie Dawn (1)

Block figures are like lego men. Some have sculpted parts and some are just painted up block figures.

Personally, I would rather not see block figures. There really is not a need for them. I would rather see mini PVC figures. I bet those would make it into a lot of stores and sell well since they could be bought by young kids too.

Thought I'd help you out Bear. Do you know about "Kubriks"? They're the same thing as block figures. If not, then are you familiar with Palisades Toys' "Palz"? If not, then the most approximate thing to block figures would be Lego human figures.

Block figures are these small 2-inch figures, maybe bigger, whose body is made in the shape of a rectangular or squared block. The figure attempts to retain as much of the body of the particular character as possible, but making it in blocky form. The thing about these figures is that their heads, arms, legs, and even moreso in other more detailed figures, pops off and can be reassembled. The fun thing is that you could have a pair of blue jeans on a torso that has an overall and a goofy red cap on the head. Or you can mix it up to switch the parts amongst figures.
There was one series of Muppets Kubriks, and at least two series of SS Kubriks. They were made by a Japanese manufacturer and sold in the US through import comic shops.
Hope this helps.

Oh yeah. Hmm...I actually don;t like thos things one bit. I have seen what you are referring to over at the PT site. In my opinion, ugly. I wouldn;t want them to make Sesame versions of those. They need to focus their time on the Big Bird sculpt. lol/

Yeah, I would rather have mini PVCs, too, but palisades doesn't have the rights to make Sesame Street PVCs.

Too bad indeed. I never managed to pick up any of the Mini-Muppets (living in a smallish town really kills me), but the pictures that I've seen always looked really good. So, a series of SS minis would be nice.

I think the mini muppet line had some wasted opportunities. Series 1 was ok, but series 2 was awful. If series 2 never happened I think the mini line would have gone on longer.
