Hello! I'm proud for the Palisades Team that Rizzo the Rat was already out for Series 4 and Pepe the King Prawn will be shipping for Series 5, but I don't know if Beauregard would be shipped for Series 6, but the other Muppet they never made was Kermit's nephew Robin! I think they don't want to create a Robin figure, because they think he's related to Scrappy-Doo and Kermit's related to Scooby-Doo.
WE WANT MORE MUPPETS AND WE DEFINATELY WANT KERMIT'S NEPHEW ROBIN! Why, because they haven't made him yet. I think this should be cool if he's with the Sweetums figure as well with the classic Muppet Show backstage set, but I don't know if they should make Robin, what do you think?

Ok...so you had me until the last line of your post. Do you want Robin or not? Personally, I think it would be very cool to have a Robin figure, but I imagine that he would be more along the lines of a PVC figure because if they made him truly to scale, it would be very difficult to give him any points of articulation.

Robin is a definate yes, it would be criminal to leave robin out of the palisades line altogether.

He would go well with Sweetums. I dont know what other people think but I dont think he really needs any articulation anyway, he would go great without it and its better to have a robin without articulation than no robin at all.

We need him!

They could always have him be with another figure so he is to scale and you aren't paying $9 for a tiny lil figure, like how Strangepork has the MAMMA robot. A Sweetums pairing would be a good idea :wink: ::cough cough ahem:: Just make sure the blasted figure isn't busted before I can take them out to display...(read my other post...figures broken in package )

Robin IS going to be made, you just have to wait. I mean, it takes time to get all these figures out. And with the movie license, there are so many more figures to do. Just wait and eventually a Robin figure will happen.

It has been said that robins scale will be majorly cheated. He'll be slightly more then 3 inches tall I think. So, that might look kind of funny. But he is a figure that will happen eventuallyu.

Oh, and Ken said that regular Robin will be saved for something special, but he did not say what that is.

I think a Robin figure the same height as Rizzo would look fine.

Robin will probably make it later on. Ken has expressed interest in making him and he is a major character. If they made Lew and Puppet Jim, you can count on Robin. :smile:

I think Robin would be a bit smaller than Rizzo...not sure though. *I* don't get the style guides.

All I want is a Robin. That's all. I don't care a/b whether he's scale or what.....Although, I WOULD like to see either a Frog Scout Robin or Robin w/stairs.
