Excapt for the ernie, they all look great. Too bad that they can't sell them. I hope Hot topic picks them up, though!!!

I didn't like Pepe - doesn't look much like him. More ugly, cartoon like and with too many colors. Bunsen and Beaker were ok though - although Beaker's nose is a bit dodgy.

Fear not though - a license has been sold to produce another different style of plush which will feature these Muppet characters and more hopefully in time for this year. Not sure if more can be said about it yet though without stealing the thunder of the company announcing them.

That Pepe is hideous! The smallest one looks like it could be okay. It's hard to tell. I'm surprised that people aren't being harsher about it. Maybe there are different rules for plush. I’ll hold off getting one, but ugly as he is, I’d need him to complete my collection. All this time and that’s what we get? How did it get approved?

The Bunsen looks better than Igel's version. His glasses are thinner and his head is round, just like they are supposed to be.

Oh my god - what HAVE they DONE to ALF ? His hair looks like he's been electrocuted and he has flowers in his Hawian shirt. ALF always used to look good in plush -- until now - the new ALF plushes and figures at Comic Stores are much better !

The medium one's not THAT bad though but sheesh - is there no end to this companies disregard for popular cult television icons.

The smaller ones of all of them don't look too bad... but what do you expect for something that's impossible to win?
