Jim Shore's Muppet Tradition Statues

[Bellygrub]

I just got an email from Cherry Lane that these are up for Pre-order. The link goes to the Disney Pre-order page but if you scroll through you'll find Animal, Kermit, Fozzie, Piggy, Statler and Waldorf.

I've always loved his work and thought it would be great if he did the Muppets. Apparently, my wish came true!

Guess I'll be spending some more money. I have to have these.

Anyone know how big the statues are?

Are these ceramic, size?

I believe they're a resin material. Definitely not ceramic or "glassy" at all. The Mrs collects various Disney Jim Shore items and they can be a tad fragile.

Piggy will be 7.5" so I think it's safe to judge the line from 5" to 8" or so.

Those do look pretty cool. Jim Shore does indeed do some pretty good work. I wouldn't mind seeing the Muppets get intoduced to the "Walt Disney Classics Collection" line either, though that might be a bit of a stretch. Still it would been one awesome statue of Kermit and Mickey shaking hands like that awesome "Welcome to the Family" pin (which is a prized one in my collection). Like I said, it's probably a "stretch" but it sure would make a neat collectable that I would be willing to pay top dollar for.

Anyhow, speaking for myself here, I don't think I'll be able to buy these unless I'm FINALLY able to find some study work where most of the pay WON'T go to my schooling or if they're given as prizes for buying a ton of Disney DVDs though the DMR website.

Thank u so much for the info, they look great.

The figures are now available on ebay. I have ordered my set, although I had to buy from a few sellers to make the set, as nobody who ships overseas had the full set.
