See, I wasn't blown away until I saw the actual figures in my hand this go round, so maybe they will look fine when I see them up close. Don't get me wrong I love them, just those little fan nit pickings that everyone has. I love the pictures, I'm excited, but Scooter just looked a little "off". It was weird seeing Lew's full body too.

These are great!

I love the Kitchen and The Swedish Chef is perfect. I already invision putting my Camilla in the pot and the other coming out of the over. Lew Zealand searching in the freezer for his fish. The Lobster Bandits attacking Piggy as she tries to eat the cake and Rizzo somewhere with all his pack in cheese.

I was very worried i might not get Tux Rowlf before as he was an exclusive so putting him into the regular line, so now when i buy the case to make sure i'll get the Zoot repaint i'll have 3 Tux Rowlf's and i was worried i wouldnt have any. The only thing i don't like about Rowlf if him having shoes, i mean Kermit hasn't got shoes and he looks great, i thought i'd have Rowlfs feet and hopefuly Fozzies visible on the Tux figure. Also Rowlf's eyes should be in the middle but still he looks great.

Scooter is the head to big or is it just me, but apart from that it looks great.

Lew Zealand, a little more orangy

And Zoot, i don't see any faults in him, he looks great.

Keep up the good work Palisades.

I agree. His head looks too big.

However, other than that, I thought he looked great (and I can't wait for Zoot and the Chef. They are so great looking!)...

I hope they leave Rowlf as is. Please don't change a thing, Palisades. I love this Rowlf figure! He's my absolute favorite!

Something I've noticed in the kitchen; Notice how high the counter is next to the Chef. Supposedly he's one of the tallest, biggest figures. Kermit's going to need a (toad) stool in order to be high enough! Haha. :cool: Wocka Wocka

Seriously though. Will these guys even be able to reach the counter?

The kitchen is currently about 15% too large compared to the Chef. Expect a percentage reduction to occur in production to even that out. They were sculpted in two separate locations, hence the screw up. You are the first person to notice that though...GOOD EYE.

Although i don't have any playsets, which is a mere technical detail, LOL - one of the things that i most like about the line is that the playsets are large, chunky and more interactive. I've seen the Muppet Labs and it was just so much more than any of the Playmates sets - it actually looks like something that can really be played with and i don't see that in the Simpsons line. I looked at the Kwik-E-Mart and KBBL Radio playsets and theres basically enough room for the figure to stand and thats it, nothing much in the way of accessories - they look so flat. I'm glad the Muppet's didn't end up going this way, the interactivity of the Chef's kitchen is so cool - and the price points between Simpsons and Muppet playsets aren't THAT far off so it's quite an achievement !

I agree about the sets, I actually have all of my figs in Muppet Labs right now although Beaker is technically in the pressure tank, but he looks funny being sucked into it, so it's okay. Bunsen and Kermit are behind the counter. Piigy is in the backgorunf looking on and Dr. Teeth is on the other side (next to Bunesen) also enged in the conversation between the Frog and Dr. Honeydew. And I found and ordered the two rat figurines from the the MTI set a few years back so I have Muppet rats too who are just abotu to scale. I can' t wait to get the other playsets and put all the guys in where they belong!!! ;-)

LOL Sounds very errr 'creative' Matt ! LOL

Next year from Palisades :- 'Muppet Court Room Playset' - Marvel at real Muppet trials in your own living room. Watch Gonzo be tried for illegal Chicken love, the question whether Kermit and Piggy's marriage is genuine finally gets answered by a Muppet jury, and Pepe 'OJ' Prawn jailed for barbecuing his former lover - will the gloves fit ? All tried in front of judge Sam The Eagle. Accessories include Gavel, Flag and a ducking stool for Miss Piggy ! :big_grin:

Exclusive variant :- Crazy Harry with Electric Chair accessory !
