Well, to noone's surprise :mad: was revealed as Entry #70, finishing off this Muppetational character spotlight roster. That leaves three from my list without having been included, namely Clifford, Dr. Phil van Neuter, and Jim. It's been a great run for what it was worth, wonder if there'll be some massive artpiece showcasing all seventy entries together under the iconic arches or if some collector will show off the character magnets on something similar.

A-ha, I knew it! Come to think of it, so did many other fans. The fan stuff featuring MP, including Dave Alvarez’s, has already been uploaded, and it’s still going.

As for the other Muppets who didn’t make the cut, this might interest you: Jim Henson 90

Yeah, it’s a fan made thing, but not only will it celebrate Jim’s 90th B-day, but it’ll showcase not just the other missing Muppets, but also characters from Sesame Street, The Dark Crystal, Fraggle Rock, Labyrinth, and Bear in the Big Blue House.

I would love some type of physical trading card set.

@Blue Frackle, you can always print out the digital trading card set released by Disney.

@C to the J, have the 90 entries for that Instagram project been revealed? Or will it be revealed next September? If it's already been revealed, what's the list of characters? Just curious for my "nowhere man" plans.

Nothing has been revealed yet. I have, however, recently discovered that someone calling himself ribbitrhettsmuppets is looking to do 30 more weeks showcasing 30 additional Muppets/Muppet groups, bringing a total to 100, and users have until Thursday at midnight to pick those 30.

Here’s the post

The fun coda to this was the post (from Joe from legal) "explaining" why some characters were omitted from the 70, including Clifford for being too cool.
