Muppet Movie Studebaker toy?

[dpurves]

I saw that Palisades Toys was making a number of figures and playsets based on The Muppet Show and the various Muppet movies, and I got my hopes up that finally they might put out a scale replica of Fozzie's Studebaker. It wasn't listed anywhere, so I emailed them and asked if there was any possibility of them making one, and they just replied that nothing in their database matched my request. I find it so frustrating that they never made some type of toy version of that car, at least not that I've ever heard of. Why won't anyone make it?

Too complicated.

I asked for Muppet film die cast vehicles, but that was a different license to purchase. Besides that, they'd have to get licenses from the companies who own the rights to the likenesses of the vehicles to make them, I think. I forgot the details.

It's too bad that there are so many problems with producing this toy. I'm willing to bet it would be plenty of people who would buy it. I sure would.

I actually managed to visit the original vehicle at the Studebaker Museum last month. I was sad to see that it wasn't in very good shape. If anyone wants to see a picture, email me.
