Are there any figures that you think should have been made that would have been mostly repainted, without very little-to-no resculpting done? Things that could have been a 1-per-case repaint, a give away, or an exclusive? Here's what I think could have been doen for the muppets line:

*Scooter in his blue jacket from the Elton John episode (maybe it could have been an exclusive that came with an uptight piano).

*Scooter in a black jacket and white shirt (yeah, I know, not show specific, but still a cool idea).

*Dr. Teeth in his leather vest that he wore throughout the 1980s (the only rescultping that would have been needed would be on his jacket. Everythign else could have easily been repainted).

Also, are there any repaints that you think could be in the Sesame Street line? Here are my ideas:

*An orange Oscar The grouch.

*Oscar in a different colored trash can.

*Ernie in his purple and orange striped shirt from the first season.

*Green Grover.

*Big Bird as the "bluebird of happiness" (although that would probably require getting a license to make figures based on Follow That Bird).

*Guy Smiley in a silver or gold suit.

Cool, except the orange Oscar wouldn't just be a repaint, it would be a whole resculpt too. The two Oscars look very different aside from the color.

You must also remember that the figures made by Palisades are not based on any one specific puppet. This is because the characters have had a lot of changes and Palisades has several reference photos of each character.

I think the funky clifford repaint should have been done. Too bad there was that mix up.
