THE CUSTOM: I have been wanting to do this since I got this thing, and finally pulled it off. I need to get a switch to make it easier to turn on and off. Right now I have to take a battery out every time which you'll see is a task. Basically just drilled out the backs, added LED's, wired them up, and PRESTO! I thought they'd do a bit more to light up the stage, but they are fine for what they are. Sorry for the blurry pics, I was shooting in "night mode" to try and catch just the lights and it's hard to focus when you can't see 
NOW ONTO THE COLLECTION: I need more Detolfs, that's a fact. I still have some Muppets waiting to be assembled in this thing, but I ran out of time today. The bottom shelves are just holding the boxes for now, I will be removing them, all but Scooter 8.5 graded. I plan a lot more for this display. I bought some LED spotlights and while I got them in, the company failed to send the power supply..DUH! So each shelf will have more lighting. Also, I will be getting some fabric to hang across the back of both cases to hide the wires and wall. AND...I am thinking of building a balcony to place in front of Statler and Waldorf. Any comments are welcome.
Top shelf: I wanted this shelf to be Jim with the Original crew, but I am missing Scooter and Piggy(believe it or not, I just haven't bought her yet). I would also like to add the "naked" Rowlf, but we all know what that means. So this shelf looks bare right now and a little out of place:
Second shelf: The Kitchen. I wanted this to seem like a "set" and Sweeds was waiting to film. I might take the second chef out of there because it kind of looks silly to me.
**** penguins!
Third shelf: Pigs in Space playset. I can't for the life of me figure out how those machines go together. Also still need Link and Julius
Bottom: Again, not staying here
SECOND DISPLAY
Top shelf: 2nd tier characters
Second shelf: more 2nd tier characters. I will eventually create a forest diorama for Robin and whenever I find Frog Leader Kermit
Third shelf: The band, man! Need Lips still, but I don't see where I can fit him
Tried to show how the lights work in the cabinet
Bottom: Again, not staying
Full shots:
Cool stuff so Muppies don't take a tumble:
FELT LIKE CHRISTMAS!
Well, that's it for now. I plan on doing a "Steppin out" shelf, a "movies" shelf with Adventure Kermit, Treasure Island, and Pops and Usher Scooter. I also want to do an exclusives and multiple character shelves.
I am boycotting the "Muppets Tonight" figures. I was never really into that show. I own them, and may will probably up put them up someday.

. Its also funny imagining Marvin Suggs trying to play along with a band. I'm working on my collection now, and when I get a sensible collection together, I'll post some pics as well.
