The review for Monday is the new Muppets Busts from Sideshow Toy. It's fairly rare when I actually say 'wow' when I open a box, but these just blew my socks off. While all four aren't perfect - there's a minor nit or two of course - they are some of the nicest busts I've ever seen. Check out the review, with lots of pictures, at the usual:

Very nice -- you say that you've included a picture of one of the busts compared in size to a Muppet action figure, but I don't see it -- how tall are these guys?

Oops...

I meant to shoot one - I obviously forgot it. I'll try to get one up tonight.

well, the Rowlf bust looks awesome, but the other three seem to be lacking something in my mind...

Looks like you've got the wilting Kermit syndrome.

Somehow despite stating the dimensions, I keep envisioning these as larger than they really are. It looks like the Beaker bust is about the same height as the "Mega Beaker" will be.

Great review Michael! Thanks for sharing it with us.

The comparison shots really help. Some people may be disappointed at first of the size of the busts, but once they realize the incredible detail in the sculpt it makes up for it.
