Your Ideas for Muppets Movie Figures

[MrTheFrog]

Hey guys,
Now I know this seems like I'm copying off of James' new thread, and I kind of am, but this thread is specifically for movie related figures. Since there is no doubt in my mind that Palisades' Muppet Show line will do well, and that they will be granted the rights to movie action figures. Some of these ideas I've posted in the past. The list includes some reissued figures (mostly in the Muppet Movie sets) so that those who are just starting could have a close to complete set of characters. The backdrop pieces I list as accessories are from the final scene in the Muppet Movie where they put up the backdrop for their "movie". The six pieces would link to form a completed "set". Note: each set piece would be included with a reissued figure, so you only have to rebuy the figures if you want the set piece. Also, unless a figure says (reissue), assume it's a new sculpt.

Here's my list:

My thoughts

I feel that the Muppet Movie series should be somewhat more abreviated because most of the figures have already been released. I also hope Pepe comes before any of the movie figures. This is a general idea of what I think deserve rentirely new sculpts and sets. Some things have been left out, but it may be unrealistic to have every scene represented.


The Muppet Movie:
Kermit with banjo in Swamp
Piggy in boat with parasol (crown included)
Fozzie in Studabaker
Gonzo with balloons
Giant Animal with lab
Dr Teeth on the Bus
Janice in the old church


The Great Muppet Caper:
Kermit with reporter outfit & hotair balloon
Piggy with motorcycle
Fozzie with reporter outfit
Gonzo with reporter outfit
Beauregard with Taxi
Pop's with Happiness hotel
Rizzo as bellhop

The Muppets Take Manhattan
Kermit in tux with chappel
Piggy in bridal Gown
Fozzie in show clothes with stage
Gonzo in show clothes
Scooter in usher clothes
Rizzo with kitchen set
(Possibly some Muppet Babies)

Muppet Christmas Carol:
Cratchit Kermit with Robin
Cratchit Piggy
Fozziwig
Dickens Gonzo with Rizzo
Marley Statler
Marley Waldorf
Bean Bunny

Muppet Treasure Island
Smollet Kermit with ship
Benjamena Piggy with island
Fozzie with treasure
Gonzo with Rizzo
Clueless with Polly
Sam with lifeboat
Spa’am with vacation rats

Muppets From Space
Kermit with boarding house
Piggy with UFO set
Gonzo with spaceship
Pepe!!! (with rizzo)
Bobo with raygun
Van Neuter with table
Clifford (felt I had to get him in somwhere)

These are just my ideas because I see the movie line as a suppliment for the regular figures.

Jamie + Artie,

I think that we might be seeing a Muppet Babies figure line soon, Because Ken was trying to get the rights for them.

But i personally would like to see a Fraggle Rock line first.

And if they are going to make a Muppet Babies line then i hope they are based on the Muppets Take Manhattan Babies, and not the Cartoon.
But then again, If they based it on the cartoon we could probably get Baby Bean, Baby Janie, Baby Skeeter and Baby Robin !

See ya

The GIANT Animal could actually be a modern puppet for sale (better than the one you find on EBay) to be purchased seperately from the set. The lab could be Bunsen, Beaker, and the giant prune!

I like giant prunes, but not giant prudes.

About the Muppet Babies

I really hope that nothing more is done with the Muppet Babies. They really took over the Muppets' identity the second half of the 80s' and they were only a tiny part of The Muppets Take Manhattan. Fraggle Rock really is the way to go IMHO!

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Yeah, Muppet Babies took away the Muppet Image as we know it, evidenced by the fact that many people refer to them AS the Muppets instead of TMS.

Kinda like most kids didn't know that Leonardo, Michaelangelo and a few others were artists, not turtles.

That irks me.

Wait, not only were they crime fighting ninjas, but they were artists too?

How radical is that?
