OK, so the online blurbs for the backstage playset say that it can house up to 15 Muppet figures, so this just begs the question: Which 15 will live in yours?
If/when I get it, I'll probably wait until it's there in all its glory before make any final decisions... and a bit of playing and upon-sight inspiration will have something to do with it.
But I guess I can count out those figures that already live in a playset - so the Pigs in Space characters are out, the members of the Electric Mayhem are out, Bunsen and Beaker are out, as is the Chef. Rizzo and Crazy Harry currently live in my kitchen playset, and seem happy there, but the prospect of a new home may appeal to them.
The figures with enough accessories to have an environment of their own will probably be out as well (the Newsman, Daredevil Gonzo, Tux Rowlf), and those that are in some kinda family might be excluded simply because they belong in their own group, e.g. the MTI characters.... OTOH, it might be kinda fun to have characters dressed up backstage, since dressing up is part of the fun, and I guess it's kinda a given that a Hispanola playset won't be happening.
I guess I can definitely count in Kermit... maybe Fozzie, Piggy and Gonzo are close followers, but won't commit to anything other than Kermit at this stage... oh and of course Rowlf will be in there since he comes with the playset. So I guess everything else is a definite maybe.
Also have to decide what my policy will be on variants. Would it be bad... or would it be kinda cool to have different versions of the one character in the same place... oh decisions, decisions. Still, wouldn't the world be a wonderful place if that was life's biggest problem.
So, what's everyone else's thoughts on the matter?
