Maybe this could be the start of a cuddly but grotesque Muppet line! You could have Uncle Deadly, Scred, and the Chamberlin Skeksis! LOL

I wouldn't be jazzed about a Scred figure (not that it's covered or a desirable license to Palisades). Deadly is definitely on my list.

After viewing Palisades Alien vs Predator statue in a comic shop yesterday I really feel that high scale Dark Crystal statues would be a good idea. If Muppet Busts go for 60 bucks a pop, I'd pay twice as much for a detailed Skeksis vs Jen statue. I know Palisades would do a great job and it could work in limited release of a few hundred pieces. I think if those items took off, then figures would be next.

From what i can remember Camilla does indeed have wings for whoever asked that. I agree she might have been a little fat but i think they got the whole Muppet chicken look down quite well. The 2D photograph i think is the problem here, if you swivelled her head a little it'd maybe look a lot better but obviously in the photo you can't do that.

As for Pepe, i liked him a lot when i saw him, i agree that maybe the eyes need work but overall he's excellent - nobody has said much about the hair which is i think one of the really strong points. Shame his mouth can't open and close - i had been thinking that so yeah, a Mega would be cool.

I want Deadly more than Marvin Suggs-- definitely.

I agree with Jamie, Palisades could do an amazing job on Deadly....

Yes i agree too, although i have come round to the idea of Marvin over the last week or so too, but Deadly would definitely be a fantastic sculpt for Palisades to do .

Okay Cory, I gotta say this: it's great that you have figures you passionately want to get made, we all do. But just say the figs you want, don't dump on the others. Personally I'd like both.

I'm also a fan of the Uncle Deadly in series 7, not to push marvin out completlely but deadly's got more presonalty and a cooler looking sculpt.

does anyone think Pepe's neck looks a little too long with looking at jamie's menu above, but if his neck is shorter the figure becomes shorter and i don't want it any smaller then it is...I want it bigger! heck, forget to scale! make pepe as big as gonzo or kermit!;-)

i hope a little work is done on Camilla too!
