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!
), 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.
