Series 4-7 Released!!!

Ken-

Some accessory questions for the announced (and pushed back) figs:

BOP Fozzie- well, you've already made him, so he's gotta come out sometime. My question is, what would he come with? My vote goes for the blue octopus from the best-remembered edition of BOP.

Marvin Suggs- how many Muppaphones? Will there be a table too? Would they be attached to it so they won't be lost, or perhaps magnetized?

Newsman- assuming that this is still on, how are you going about doing a backdrop for him?

Beauregard- which clothing scheme? The grey janitor's coat or the blue plaid w/suspenders?

Definitely going to get the Chef repaint and Vaudeville S & W. Great to hear they're on the way!

BOP Fozzie- well, you've already made him, so he's gotta come out sometime. My question is, what would he come with? My vote goes for the blue octopus from the best-remembered edition of BOP.

He'll come with a bunch of Cop Gear.

Marvin Suggs- how many Muppaphones? Will there be a table too? Would they be attached to it so they won't be lost, or perhaps magnetized?

Honestly haven't thought that far ahead. Probably a table and probably permanently attached.

Newsman- assuming that this is still on, how are you going about doing a backdrop for him?

He comes with a desk and backdrop. It was actually easier to work out than I thought. It is smaller, but I think it works.

Beauregard- which clothing scheme? The grey janitor's coat or the blue plaid w/suspenders?

Grey jacket. Not the plaid. Sculpt is freakin AWESOME by the way. One of my favorites to date. I think we are finally getting the Muppet style hair nailed. Time to redo some heads!

I'm not so concerned about WHO is in the line-- I know Ken & the rest of the crew will do a great job-- I'm just concerned about how to afford all these, and how to get them as quick as humanly possible!!!

I love all the Mega's- I hope they all happen & happen soon.

The arrangements of the PVC's could use a little work though. A common theme would make sense for each set (see the PVC wish list thread).

My main concern is where to PUT all of them!

If the Happiness Hotel is on "hiatus", where does that leave Pops? We gotta have Pops!!!

I can almost stake my life on the fact that Patrol Bear Fozzie is a shoo in very soon. Remember that we've already seen a prototype of him (it was very small, but he was in the picture). So that means that he's been sculpted and tooled (I'm sure), so that means they've already spent too much money on him to scrap him alltogether.

Staking your life on an action figure sounds risky to me, but they can hold off on him and have him come out a little later...Reg Rowlf was already made, and we don't see him in this line up. plus diffrent sculpts of figs and stuff, just because they made it does mean it will come out at all too, i mean i really hope BOP does come out, but it would be so much better with a BOP playset, and Patrol pig Link as well, so it should be held off for them both to come out in the same series.

and the bus and BOP wasn't Droped,just put on the back burner...but don't keep it there too long because they will melt;-)

Luke

As for Clifford, he had a few lines in 'Muppets From Space' and is apparently featured very little in the Christmas movie.

Hi Luke, where did you hear about this, i thought i read that he's not in the new christmas movie at all.

yes your right about the MT characters, i thought we would be seeing more movie charcters now in the action fig line, i am not talking about the PCV's.

Pepe has broke away from MT completly,so he should be made. I would think that maybe either Reg Rowlf or Sam should be in there. one or the other, i don't think you should hold on to them too too long i mean this line is not riding on just sam and Rowlf alone.
I think your right about a clifford repaint, how about doing a gonzo in a black tux insead? i mean we will already have the purple tux gonzo, it could be the same fig but maybe new items or camilla in some type of dress...if you can dress a chicken...and i don't mean after cooking it! plus it would match with kermit,Rowlf, busnen and beakers tux's, then leading to fozzie,sam,scooter and so on.

I think Bean would be a great seller! he got his break in MCC, even thought it was a small role he got many fans out of it, even if they don't know his name. I think henson should use him a little more, not too much as he might be the elmo to the kermit,piggy,fozzie, gonzo muppets, but give him a few line's, he was going to be a bigger character shown in Muppet vision 3D before Jim Henson pasing, i think Ma(Emily) bear and beau were working up that way too at the time.but about Bean, i wish he was used a tad more, i know that Brian said the Henson company loves to hate bean bunny, but Bean is getting the same treatment in the new christmas movie that he got in MFS, maybe they could do more then just one squishing to bean with a few lines as well.

Zachary,

The Clifford repaint appears to be a chase repaint packed in with the regular series six assortment. It isn't an exclusive. So, the figure in question has to be in the series. A Beauregard plaid repaint is more attractive to me, but Clifford is cool too. They couldn't make either Statler or Waldorf repaints here because you really can't have one without the other and their show exclusives will debut in series five.

I agree that a Tux Gonzo repaint would be attractive, but he is scheduled in series five with Janice. That would cancel-out her chase repaint. I'm sure we'll se a black tux Gonzo somewhere down the line because it would be lucrative for Palisades to get more mileage out of the sculpt and there is definitely a market for him. It really seems more like a club/show exclusive to me though. Like your ideas on Camilla. I'd also like to see a hat on Gonzo!

They have to save some surprises and choice figures for the rest of the waves. We should all keep in mind that moving the line up assortments around is easier said than done. It takes a lot of time to sculpt these figures and they can't just shift things around so easily especially when they have invested mega bucks into each sculpt. That's why I know it must be killing them to sit on the Patrol Bear sculpt for so long.

Hi Jamie!

I agree that a Tux Gonzo repaint would be attractive, but he is scheduled in series five with Janice. That would cancel-out her chase repaint. I'm sure we'll se a black tux Gonzo somewhere down the line because it would be lucrative for Palisades to get more mileage out of the sculpt and there is definitely a market for him.

Your rightJamie, sometimes i think of repaint's as the same as exclusive, when there are not, it really wouldn't mater if there was a repaint or not its just the same fig and not an extra one in the line or in the shippment like with floyd, if there are only three fozzie, gonzo's and harrys in a box then there are only three floyds one in which is the repaint, I'm thinking now;-)

yeah i wasnt really meaning a black tux gonzo for series 5, as of now we can get a janice repaint because she is not coming with the bust, i was thinking of an ex black tux gonzo but in a repaint kinda way...which doesn't really work...or may anysence.... i'd go with a club/show ex for that to now.

I'm hoping that the tux figs will start to come with hat's like kermit but with a magnet, i know Rowlf,busnen and beaker will not, but if fozzie comes out with chucky he's gotta have one as well as gonzo, because the purple tux is not going to, not that it should.

I still hope Bear on patrol come's with a playset though.
