Wow... http://www.mwctoys.com/sdcc2010/images/sdcc2010_hallmark_20.jpg

Thanks for posting this! Now if only Disney could start making Muppet figures in that style!

picked up mine yesterday... would it be "wrong" to put out a Christmas ornament in July?

Not at all. Christmas all year long!

Does Animal's hair look more red in person? He appears very pinkish on-line.

Unfortunatly not, it's very pink-ish in person.

Not if you actually want one. If you wait until Christmas, chances are, it's not gonna be there anymore. These tend to sell fast.

More tidbits about Beaker from another forum...

Beaker's mouth has motion! Yup, he will open and close his yap and sing, as only Beaker can, "Ode to Joy." The metronome on the table also moves back and forth. Sounds like a winner!

It appears that Disney has pinned down a pink PMS color for Animal's fur. We know that some of it is pink, but the overall look of Animal's wild plumage is much more red in hue. I have a feeling this will be the permanent color of Animal in all non-puppet appearances.

At least they have decided on a particular purple PMS for Gonzo's nose, even though it's a little too purpley. I guess the Muppets are going to look a little more candy-coated in color in drawn or product form. I can't disagree with them becuase the Mouse is the master at this sort of marketing.

I'm tickled they're adding motion to the new Beaker ornament. This is the kind of figure many fans have wanted for years and what a perfect song for an ornament!

My guess for the 2013 ornament character after Beaker will either be Rowlf playing at his piano or they'll go to some sort of classic heavy-hitter like Fozzie or Gonzo. I do wonder what they'd do with Pepe.

But it seems like it was always the case. Animal was always some pink fuzzy (as opposed to furry, which denotes more and longer hair) lollipop. But a Purple Gonzo nose sounds fine, since I'm used to seeing Muppet Baby-esque light blue noses.

Oh... Seems like, instead of archival recordings, they got Eric Jacobson to record new grunts and shouts. Not that it really matters for me, but in case anyone is wondering.

Wait, you saying Beaker won't come out til Christmas of 2011?

I was hoping he'd be released this year. I actually greatly prefer the look of Muppets in figural form with this aforementioned style(as Hallmark has been doing) than the Palisades look; but then again Im a big fan of bright and cartoony.

I usually wouldn't pay $20 for an ornament, but I would for that Beaker one. Sounds amazing!
