[King Prawn]

Okay so without counting the industry giveaway's here's a list of the ammount of figures we have so far, i'll be counting Series 4, 5 & 6.

Here it is:

Kermit
Piggy
Bunsen
Dr. Teeth
Muppet Labs Playset w/ Beaker
Dr. Teeth Repaint

Tuxedo Kermit
Vanishing Cream Beaker

Fozzie

Invisible Spray Fozzie
Vacation Fozzie (Red)
Vacation Fozzie (Blue)

Tuxedo Rowlf
Scooter
Zoot
Lew Zealand
Swedish Chef Kitchen w/ The Swedish Chef
Zoot Repaint
Super Hero Scooter
Palisades Animal

So far we have 27, i decided not to count the steel rabbit as an extra figure, I also didn't know if to include Invisible Beaker (was he an industry giveaway)

Anyway by the end of 2003 we'll also have

Rizzo
Sam (MTI)
Link Hogthrob
Dr. Julius Strangepork
Rizzo Repaint
Reporter Kermit
Tuxedo Bunsen & Beaker

Tuxedo Gonzo w/ Camilla

53, that also includes the Camilla Pack-in, so there you have it 53 figures in by the end of 2003, this gives, this gives Vacation Pepe or the repaint Clifford the privillege of being the 50th figure.

So you decided to enter my arena, huh? Vell then, velcome to my vorld!
(*Evil laughter starts as thunder can be heard in the background.)

First off, as the oficial figure counter around these here parts, I must call Foul after you violated one of your own rules. You said that you weren't counting the Steel Rabbit as an additional pack-in figure... But then you turn around and count Camilla with S5 Gonzo the Great as a duely recognized and accounted for extra character figure. Please clarify your position on this issue. If you decide to count all the added pack-in figures, then here's what we've got:
S1 The Steel Rabbit
S4 MAMMA
S4 Baby Koozbanian
S4 The Female Koozbanian Creature, named Martha
S4 The Male Koozbanian Creature, named George
S4 The Merdlidops
S5 The Lobster Bandidos which would count as 1 group entry, though there are three distinct lobster figures included with Culinary Catastrophe Swedish Chef.
*The Lobster Bandidos were entered as S5 extras cause that's where you placed the Culinary Catastrophe Swedish Chef in your list in the post above.
So that would jack up the total of figures to a grand total of 60! Yes, an even 60 Muppet figures!

Secondly, I just forgot about the following addition for the pack-ins
S3 The Bust of Beethoven.
So that's 61! 61 Marvelous Muppet figures!

Thirdly, I'm arranging all the characters that I've got in my collection according to a nicely ordered form that I hope to present this summer with their accompanying castle ghost ideas.
Hope this helps and have a good night.

Well do Lew Zeland's Fish, Fozzie's Rubber Chicken,
The talking cake, Statler and Waldorf's Veggies and vacation Fozzie's floaty cound as #'s too because they have faces?

Zack)Rowlf the, kidder, Dog.

well Camillia is an action semi main character. She just doesn't warrant her own figure, but she was an actual character. Therefore, I think she counts as more than just a cool pack in.

The rabbit was on the show, but wasn't like a main character. The rabbit was a bit player much like M.A.M.M.A was. So, that doesn't really count as an actual character, more like a cool obscure pack in.

The Koozebanes should count as characters, I think, because they are a part of a famous skit and the whole Koozebane thing was a reoccuring bit I think. But, the merdilodops (sp?) shouldn't count because they aren't actually figures, they are sculpted into the base.

The lobsters were bit playsers in one skit, though a famous one. I'd say they don't really count because it only happened once.

The bust shouldn't count, IMO.

That all being said, I'll consider all the pack ins that have articulation as action figures which would give us 60. I won't count the bust, though. It's not an action figure. It is, however, an awesome acessory with great detail.

Count,

I knew you were going to be the first one to comment on The Steel Rabbit Pack-in.

Anyway I agree 100% with Wiggy, although i'm not sure if we should count the Lobsters or not.

I was board and did this in Microsoft word so i figured i might copy and paste it here so you'd all know just how many figures will be getting.

You know what something we could do for fun, guess the 100th figure, if the line gets to that.

I say the one hundreth is either Andy or Randy pig or if a variant then one of the MTI characters.

 

[The Count]

Well, in that case, thanks for the outlet to vent King Prawn. The thing you're all forgetting is that kermitage.com lists all of these as actual Muppet Show characters: the Steel Rabbit, the Koozbanians, the Merdlidops, MAMMA, and the Lobsters. If that website didn't consider these as counted characters then they wouldn't have listed them. And consequently, I wouldn't have added them as individual entries as counted characters in my master Muppet Listings, nor would I be counting them as characters who have had their likenesses immortalized as part of Palisades' action figure line. So in my black hearts of hearts, these guys will still get a vote as actual Muppet characters and will each get counted as such. Hope this helps and have a good day.

 

[The Count]

Oh, and Zack, that's the same reason as why I'm not counting any of the ones you mentioned in your post as actual Muppet characters, cause they're not listed as such on kermitage.com. Though I'm going to wait to get the Muppet Show episodes I bought frrom Justin Faulknor in a massive deal to pass judgment on Lew's fish, the ones that were included with the S3 figure made by Palisades, to decide whether they are in fact the ones mentioned by kermitage.com and counted as such in my Muppet Listings.
Again, hope this helps and have a good day.

According to my master release list, if you count every single figure, variation, give away...EVERYTHING except MEGA and MINI, then Clifford is the 50th figure release. (Hard to really quantify this, since technically ANY figure from S6 could be called that. He just happens to be first on my list).

If you take all that stuff out and only count regular retail and retail exclusives for purchase, then Tuxedo Gonzo would get the slot on that list as 50th figure.

Hard to really say what it TRULY is, because of the nature of give aways, stuff like that.

Thanks for the info Ken but it doesn't really make sense, you say that if we were to count all the figures produced, this includes White Tux Rowlf, Invisable Beaker etc... then Clifford would be the 50th figure.

Then if we were to only count the retail and ratail exclusive figures, which the number would be less than if we counted Give away's and such that Tux Gonzo would be the 50th figure.

I'm not sure if I've explained myself properly so here it is once again, if industry give-aways and such are added then that list must be greater than the retail and retail exclusives list then how come Gonzo who comes before Clifford can make the 50th figure in the list containy all and Clifford the 50th in the list not containy all seeing as how Gonzo comes before Clifford.

Have you maybe mixed up the names?

 

[ResidentLilly]

My bad...must have flipped the names
