Are people implying that the line is in trouble because the accessories have been cancelled? I'm not sure about you, but my priority is the Muppet characters themselves. The only pack I would get would be Animal's chains etc. I think it's just good business sense. I'd prefer Muppet product to be moving off the shelves and hence lead to more. There would be people who would buy accessories but not every Muppet replica owner would buy these so your market is smaller anyway. Just my thoughts on the topic
Mind you, it would make getting Animal's chains and manacles that little bit easier. Might have to investigate some "alternative" leather selling shops - lol
