Max Goof, I'm also surprised no one has mentioned Bean Bunny!! Maybe he should come with Rizzo!

Other than the ones mentioned, I dunno why, but I'd love to see a Mickey Moose and Ronald Duck figure. I dunno! That bit stuck me as funny!

Actually, there is a Splurge toy of sorts. It was in the Jim Henson's Scary Monster KFC collection. It was something like a Bow Biter (that is an ornimentation designed to put laces on kisd shoes and keep them tyed) and another toy is on a color forms like set in the same promotion. They are hard to track down, but everyone would push for the action figure more!

bean bunny: Yeah, he seemed to be a major player in the late 80's. I personally WOULD LOVE to see a Clifford Muppet since any fan knows him and Pepe have been next generation big guns for awhile.

Yeah, thats neat how Splurge had his own side project in the Scary Scary Monsters project. Unfortunately besides Sesame and Cinderella, he was only in the briefly rumored test pilot for the SSM cartoon.

Im curious to see how Palisades will handle bgi guys like Sweetums, Doglion, Thog, etc if these get made.

Beaker,

I got the feeling from your post that you didn't know that Sweetums is set for the Deluxe Stage Playset. That won't be out until next year of course. And of course that all depends on the popularity of the line.

Clifford would be good-- probably a fun figure to work on in terms of the sculpt and all.

Pops is my number one choice for one not already announced.
Actually he would be an ideal Club Exclusive, should there ever be one. Behind the scenes and all....

I'm going to come out and show my support for Lips (though how would you do an info sheet for him on the package? Better get a message to Steve Whitmire pronto!:smile:), the Frackles, the Carrot, Annie Sue, Nigel, and the brown-haired doe-eyed girl Whatnot from Season One (dubbed by one of our own as 'Sexy Muppet', which seems an apt description).

I think the Carrot would be an awesome addition, especially since the Gilda Radner episode is one of the best-remembered of the series (whenever you read a book on the show a description of that episode will usually come up.)

The Viking Pig would be neat too, but it'd probably be a waste without the whole crew and the ship and the village to make it real, and that's too much to ask for.

I'm a bit surprised there isn't more support for Lewis Kazagger seeing as he was a Muppet with his own spot on the show, however rarely appearing those spots were.

BTW, I've made a tally of votes so far. Ken, listen up and make a note of this. So far the tally is:

Uncle Deadly- 7
Wayne & Wanda- 6
Mahna Mahna- 4 (I would think this should be Mahna Mahna and the two Snowths, correct? All in favor say "Aye".)
George the Janitor- 4
Lips- 4
Nigel- 4
Pops- 3
Annie Sue- 3
Hilda- 3
Mildred- 3
The Carrot- 3 (though I would expect this number to go up should he be announced as a feasible possibility)
A Frackle- 3
Bobby Benson- 2
Behemoth- 2
'Sexy Muppet'- 2

All of the rest are single vote-ers:

Zucchini Brothers (what'sa matter? How come we're forgetting about these guys so easily?)
Lewis Kazagger
The Bossmen
Viking Pig
The Houses
Gorgon Heap (sniff... it's all right... I'm strong... I can take it... WAAAAHHH!!!!)
J.P. Grosse
Miss Mousey
Fleet Scribbler
Astoria
Zelda Rose
Baskerville the Hound (though I might add my vote for him yet; we'll see)

So by the looks of things, Uncle Deadly and Wayne & Wanda are your top vote-getters to date for obscure characters into figures. You may want to consider moving W & W up the list a bit.

Later.
