Thanks, but the chances of me going to LA next year are the same as f4a giving us their series 3 line up right now. I'm just a little disappointed since I collect parody super hero action figures and Grover will be expensive even if I can get him. Maybe someone in the club will be nice enough to get one for me, and I'll pay them. The TMS ones I didn't mind since they were incidental characters that appeared in one episode. Whereas Super Grover is integral to the character. But I guess that's life. Maybe we can have a Charlie's Resteraunt Grover varient instead. Or maybe down the line a different sculpt Super Grover for the casual fans. But besides that tiny little cloud, I see nothin' but sunny days ahead, and I'm pleasantly surprised by Palisades ressurecting the SS line. :excited:
Super Grover is a tour figure. That means he'll be widely available. You ciould probably pick one up on ebay cheap.

Oh my gosh, I nearly fell over reading this! They have to make blue man and waiter Grover. You know, "I want a bawk! bawk! sandwich..."

*Happy dance* :crazy:

Hi TMB1975, glad you found about the news and are ecstatic about like much of the rest of us. However, I should point out that you're referencing two different characters in your post above. See, they were both "Fat Blue" Anything Muppets or AM's. But they were two different characters.
The one who was mainly in those sketches with Grover, who most refer to as Fat Blue, is actually named Mr. Johnson. He has brown hair and mustache and beardlike sideburns.
The one who opened his mouth and instantly produced sounds of whatever it was he wanted to say was named Simon the Sounds Man. He can be distinguished from Mr. Johnson cause Simon has black hair and mustache and beardlike sideburns.
Hope this helps and have a good weekend.

Ah, thank you, Count. I had forgotten that was Simon the Sound Man. I loved Fat Blue as well, but the Simon and Grover skits always were one of my favorites. Can you tell it's been ages since I've watched a show or even read my "Sesame Street Unpaved" book? :wink:

Along with TMS figures (because I plan to mix them all together), I'm gonna' need a bigger storage area.
