I knew this would be what it was. I considered doing an April Fools announcement for series 3 of the Muppets figure and Mini Mates lines (if I was a member during the heyday of the Palisades figures I would have done a Palisades announcement for April Fools Day).

I read the headline, said, "WHAT?!?" outloud, barely clicked the post when my wife said, "don't believe anything, it's April Fools."



For a few seconds.... I was sooooooo happy. Lol, really, REALLY got me. Good job.
