hi all, this is my first post. I have been reading for a little while ago but haven't posted until now....
First of all I have to say how impressed I have been with the figures. I remember seeing Bunsen's figure first and was blown away by how awesome he looked. The most impressive thing I remember was that his skin had/has such a realistic texture to it. With each series, I continued to love almost everything that came out, but i didn't actually start buying anything until after series three was out! Now i have all three series, plus the exclusive piggy, tux kermit, invisible fozzie and the first two playsets. (Each bought a fortnight at a time).
Which brings me to now - I am hanging out for the Kitchen playset!
Anyway, the reason I wrote is to put forward a suggestion. I am impressed by the "ask ken" topic and thought it would be a good idea to compact all the info somewhere. On a He-Man website, they have a question sessions every so often and then have Mattel answer the questions. It is a great way to give Mattel feedback. or maybe we could run a poll as to what we would like to see... (sorry if I am covering old ground).
here is my opinion (for those that care); I am really looking forward to Swine Trek and would REALLY love to set the animal hospital done in a similar way. I would love a sweetums (sp?) figure and stage playset, but understand if they are too big to warrant. One figure i could care less about is Samuel Arrow. Of the mentioned upcoming figures, he is one I would suggest turning into an exclusiev only fig (so I would then not bother - LOL) I am only really interested in getting my favoutire characters, so when it comes to the ones I am not too concerned with, it will be their aesthetics that win my money. the original miss Piggy and Tux Rowlf have been disappointments. A "naked" Rowlf MUST be released!!!
I would really be interested in seeing what everyone else's opinions of the upcoming figures are and I would also love to also hear what other figs people would like...
here's mine;
Will buy;
Kitchen playset - Looks awesome. Dying to get one
Dr. Strangepork
Link Hogthrob
Swine Trek
Gonzo In Tux with Camilla
Janice - one of my faves
Newsman
Statler
Waldorf
Beauregard
Not a huge fan. Will see what the fig looks like before buying;
Rizzo
Pepe
Clifford (although I have a gut feeling this fig will look awesome)
No interest in getting;
Samuel Arrow - See no need for this (is there a huge fan base?)
Exclusives;
Super Scooter, Koozebane Kermit & Patrol Bear Fozzie - looks good. perhaps too expensive and too difficult to obtain. unlikely purchase
Rizzo, Jancie & Clifford Repaints - not interested in variants that only have diff paint job (especially when original has correct paint job). i didn't get the zoot or pepper repaints and they are easily obtaiable for me
Jim Hensen – would LOVE to get this, but most likely can’t afford how much it’s likely to appear on eBay.
Collectors Club variants (Bunsen & Beaker, Statler & Wladorf, Chef & Lobsters) – if they were easier to obtain (I’m an aussie), I would consider.
Mega Muppets - look good, but not interested in mega's (money & space limitations)
Sorry for such a long post... hope you bothered reading... would love to hear other opinions...
