what accessories would you like for the series two figures to come with?

i would like:
bert with pigeon, bowl of oatmeal, spoon, bottlecap collection (on a board like in the sketch where bert shows ernie his bottlecap collection), paperclip collection (on a similar board) and a book (perhaps "bottlecap collection" or "collecting paperclips").
the count with number of the day organ, bats and a removable cape.
rosevelt franklin with chalkboard and desk.
the martians with floating base, telephone and coffee table.

I would rather see Bert's paperclip collection in the form that it is usually seen in--linked together like a chain. This is what I would like to see...

BERT: Bernice, paperclips, bottlecap collection, a book, an oatmeal box (because I am sure Baby Bear will already be coming with a bowl of porridge if/when he comes out). It would be perfect if Bert came with the letter W but since he is in S2 that won't happen.
COUNT: Bats, a few Muppet numbers, top hat, black cat.
ROOSEVELT: Chalk board, school desk, books
MARTIANS: telephone, rocks, tiny space ship.

I would rather see it like that too, but I doubt that would happen. The paperclips would be really small, and probably a choking hazard and it would be weird to see paperclips that small attahced. I thought it would be easier and safer to have paperclips the way I listed them.

Here are the accessories I'd like to see for Series 2:

BERT: Bernice the Pigeon, Bottle Cap Collection, Paper Clip Collection, Bowl of Oatmeal, Oatmeal Box, Spoon, Letter W (IF Palisades plans to release 'W' for Bert), Number 6
COUNT VON COUNT: Number Of The Day Organ, Bats, Black Cat, Top Hat, Counting Pinball Machine, based from the Pinball Number Count animation series, Record that features "Pinball Number Count" (I'm sure he'll have a record like Tuxedo Gonzo, three different Johnny Fiamas and three different Lips figures!)
ROOSEVELT FRANKLIN: Chalkboard, Eraser, Desk, Books
YIP-YIP MARTIANS: Baby Martian, Spaceship, Telephone, Grandfather Clock, Computer, Foating base based from the Koozebane Kermit figure pack with the Koozebanes

Mention of a book coming with Bert made me remember him reading (out loud) this first sentence in an old sketch with Ernie: "It was the best of oatmeals, it was the worst of oatmeals." The title may have been "Tale of Two Breakfasts." I'd like to see THAT with Bert.

The stone bust of Bert with removable nose is another possibility, but I know some people feel like that should be a separate figure later in the line--with a magnetic nose that can be shifted from Bert figure to Bert bust.

The paperclip collection could be a little wad sculpted to look like a pile of paperclips; or a long piece of plastic made to look like a chain. Palisades has done plenty of accessories that small.

I wonder about the Count coming with the organ. Personally I wouldn't be crushed if he didn't--it has been played up in the last few years of Sesame Street, but it isn't in my mind essential to the character. I only say that because of the size--it might not have to be as large as the piano that came with tuxedo Rowlf, but it would clearly take up lots of room in the package. I'd rather have more bats and more numbers than the organ.

A telephone is an absolute must for the Martians. I would be overjoyed to see a baby Martian come with them, too.

Well... If they couldn't get the organ released with Uncle Deadly...
Rully doubt they'd get it into the blister for my namesake. But if they could...
I'd rather see the classic organ he used to have, the one he played in the sketch accompanying the song "Eight Beautiful Notes".

BTW: The Count's black cat is named Fatatatita.
The paper clip would be doable for Bert, since Palisades has done the metallic chain for Animal. But of course, the one item I'd love for Bert to have would be his bottlecap collection on a pasteboard.

The school supplies seem OK for Roosevelt, though I'd like it if they could find something a bit more character specific for him.

The Martians would be sufficient fofr me with the floating base and telephone. Course, if they include Baby Martian I'll pick it up too.

these toys are not intended for children under 3. Besides, it would be no more a choking hazard than Ernie's rubber duckie or Kermit's mug. Appreciate your views though.
