The Fun Of Crossovers

[beaker]

It would be interesting if Palisades started following Japanese Disney trends.

Take the Japanese Disney Kubricks for example: They get OUT THERE!
One set will have Peter Pan, 1920's Mickey and Donald, the skeleton reindeer from Nightmare Before Xmas, Christopher Robin, and Timon...It's like 'whoah!' Also, the new TOMY Disney Japanese mini figures are so cool...its the same deal...except very expanded, detailed, and psuedo articulated(about 3-4") in the TOMY line you get virtually every Disney character from the last century til now...a very nice cross section.
Were talking not just classics both golden and silver age, but modern Disney...*AND* "extended" franchises like Pixar and Nightmare Before Christmas(franchises which true fans disassociate from Disney)

Recently we saw the ultimate wacky crossover:
Square's anime RPG characters from Final Fantasy, meets classic Disney meets Nightmare Before Christmas in a figure line called "Kingdom Hearts"(based off the hit video game) Heck, Nintendo's famous Link character and Todd Mcfarlan'es Spawn are in the new Sould Calibre 2 game for GameCube. So these days anything can happen.

...and word has it Muppet Show will be joing the Sesame Kubrick linemaking for a very interesting crossover...who would have ever thought Muppet Show and Sesame Street characters in the *same* series? But this is a new era...and who knows, maybe Fraggle Rock Kubricks are in the works, given Kubricks likes to base stuff on obscure stuff like indie films and anime.

Just imagine...Palisades replacing the Muppet Show 25th to the current Muppets label, to someday "Muppets Universe"...you could have
Muppet Show, specials, one offs, Sesame, Fraggle, even Creature Shop.
I wish Palisades could take a look at the Tomy Japanese Disney line,

Could you imagine a line like this, only Muppet universe characters?
Someday...someday

No Link is in the Game Cube version. Spawn is in the X Box version. I cant remeber who is in the PS2 version. McFarlane created a character for all the versions and is also making the figures for the game.

His name is Heihachi, from Tekken

I love Kubricks. I just finished my Early Bird and Series 1 collection of Star Wars figures (including chase figures, ouch). These are some of the most interesting and innovative figures around right now. Muppet Kubricks would be great! But, only if Kubrick actually made them, the Kubrick knockoffs and bootlegs all stink, in my opinion.

A Muppet Universe line would be great. It's almost there right now. If only those darn retailers could have seen the Fraggle potential we'd have a fraggle in every series!
