Old Toys Return Muppet Style

[King Prawn]

Over at Forbidden Planet home shopping they have these new muppet products, i hadn't heard of them before. They currently have for of these (Kermit, Animal, Pepe & Beaker) I don't know how to explain what they do, here's what the site has to say about them.

These little figures are something you might be familiar with as a kid. The characters collapse - all loose limbed when you push the button on the underside of the toy and then jump back to attention when the button is released. Nice representations of the Muppets characters and a great cheap little toy.

And at £2.99 each i think they're great.

ps. I just love the Animal & Pepe ones

Here they are !

There's Kermit, Animal, Beaker and PEPE !!!!!

They all look pretty good, suspiciously like Palisades designs actually (especially Pepe - and all his arms are articulated) - i actually thought they were some secret Palisades product at first but can't be - the price is way too cheap for over here.

I agree. I don't think they are Palisades, though I think they used the figures and prototypes as models. They look pretty good.

I smell a law suit - that Beaker is SO exactly the same as the action figure version, right down to the crease lines in the jacket and the proportions of each part. Pepe also - the colors, the eyes, and the way the arms have been done. All they've done is change the hair and mouths.

They are pretty good though - and £2.99 is like $5 i think, not bad for over here.

The black T-Shirt Animal with a logo on it is the most suspicious. LOL!
