This month the McDonalds Muppets have arrived in Holland too (Dutch, Quinn!). I already found myself a Fozzie and a Kermit. Luke's right, they're completely different from the UK series - for one thing they look like they're a product of elementary school's crafts lessons. Nevertheless I still want 'em all - they may not look great individually, but they look so neat as a series!
To compare:
UK had Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Swedish Chef, Rowlf and Beaker.
We have Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Swedish Chef, Rizzo and Sam Eagle.
Differences between the figures:
Kermit = ours is uglier with bigger eyes
Piggy = British one has head band and better eyes
Fozzie = ours has no hat
Gonzo = ours is wearing a bathing suit, the British one has a regular suit
Animal = ours has a black T-shirt and jeans, the British one has his TMS outfit
Swedish Chef = ours has no apron
I thought Rizzo's ears are a bit too large. Sam's probably the best of them all. He looks really serious.
Our Muppets have really long arms and legs, not sure what that's like in the UK. The arms are bendable.
What I think is a bit of a bummer is that it's not ten figures to complete a series, after all. It turns out to be two seperate series of eight... so getting an extra Rowlf and Beaker for us, or an extra Sam and Rizzo for the British doesn't mean ya have the gang complete - it means ya have two figures from another series!!
