oh wait are fozzie kermits and gonzos signitures on it.
Is it a guestnook or just pops book?
because if its just pops boook he would have wrote it not the actual muppets.
I like the signatures. Fozzie, Gonzo and Kermit's are in the book, and it looks as it should-as if right out of TGMC! However, my favorite figure is Swedish Chef. This one was a surprise. I took him out of his packaging and realized how absolutely awesome his new paint is compared to his playset version!

I finally got to see Fozzie's "google eyes" for myself and have since fixed them (it actually just meant fixing the right eye). Of course Lips (I got the Brown Shirt version) and Pops are freakin' awesome and I love my Lips' accessories (Electric Mayhem album cover baby!) and Gaffer is just sa-weet ! My vote did go to Swedish Chef because I felt he actually added the most clout to my big Muppet figure grouping (my one shelf that has most of the classic figures looking out at you kind of like a group poster). Plus his accessories were nice, too.

None of the signitures in Pops' book are the official ones used by Henson (now Disney). They were done using various computer fonts and don't even come close to the signitures used for the characters. Nice thought though I guess.

Yeah, that bothered me, the fonts they used were standard fonts to top it off too, I felt that after the intense flood of magnificently creative things Palisades has done, the cheap font trick was a real let down, as subtle as it may be.

I'd have to say Classic Swedish Chef, but that's a bias thing since he's my favorite character. Also, he looks much better to me than the new Chef with the blue stripes on his shirt. Second favorite is Pops, great detail, however you guys are certainly correct about the signatures in the guest book.
