Wow--imagine his value in the future. I'm pretty sure there are less of him than Zoots!

Yeah, guess I got a great deal, cause I paid $17.99 for the signature White Shirt Lips from toyrocket.com back on 12/14. So, looks like Kev's taken care of. Sorry to those who I may have instilled with hope, but my local stores already sold out of the figures. Didn't think of picking up any extras for trading, was concerned with getting one of the other S9 lineup figures and leaving all three Lips for the rest of the crowds. Well, hope everyone has better luck haunting down the figures they need to complete their collections.

Rather than hunt for a white shirt Lips, I went for the brown shirt just because it seemed to have more of a "hippie" quality to it. I realize that the white shirt is from his appearance in Great Muppet Caper but based on pictures, the brown shirt looked better to me.

Well I bought , well tried to buy all 3, but white lips is just way too much, I know I should jump at it while it is $30, i mean look at Zoot! I Use my Brown lips as my opened Lips, I keep all repaints mint in box!

Well, the opened version I wanted to use was the proper one, not the repaint, although the repainted silver shirt will be opened for my tux versions. Still debating if the brown shirt will be opened or not so I can use the accessories with The Muppets.

Very true. Zoot shocked the heck out of me when I happened across a site selling him for $75 or something outrageous like that. And that's not even the repaint! To think I could have had both versions for about $4 a piece at Sam Goody at one point. Tsk tsk tsk.
