Well, dip me in ginger and call me sweet potato pie! That's not a shabby idea! We get a cool Kermit with a banjo, a cool Robin (hopefully he's removable from his log) and some much needed alternative veggies! No Sal, Vet's Hospital or penguin, but at least now we know what to expect. There's a lot of Kermit going around in 2005 with his Frog Scout get-up and now this. I really truly hope that enough wave 3 mini figures get sold so that we can get wave 4. That must happen!

Well, I hope we'll be getting Sal, the penguin, standing Robin, the Vet's Hospital cast, and Baby Kermit and Piggy soon.

 

[Whatever]

Yay! I am going to buy that fer sure! I hope Robin is removable from his base.
Kermit! Banjo! Robin! Singing veggies! So many goodies!

Kermit! Banjo! Robin! Singing veggies! So many goodies!

You seem to be as excited as I am! Those veggies rock! Onion, eggplant, lettuce! Now Marvin Suggs has his Muppaphones and his veggie chorus!

Uh... what veggies go with which exclusive figure?
Here's what I know from what WiGgY made.
Eggplant will come with FSL Kermit, fright?
You're saying that the scallion and cabbage will come with RC Kermit?
Or are there some other veggies included with RC Kermit and Seated Robin?
Hope to hear from you guys soon.

The picture shows an eggplant, cabbage, and scallion in what looks like a rough prototype stage. I also remember seeing the same eggplant with the FSL Kermit shown in the Made In China section. Perhaps it is being reused.

It looks like the eggplant, scallion and lettuce go with seated Robin and RC Kermit, Count.

In a word...

...AWESOME!

This is the perfect way to finish such a great thing.

It didn't end with a bang, it ended with a frog.

 

[timrikthegorf]

It's a cabbage.
