[spideyboy_1111]

...sigh i want

 

[Roughneck]

For SS I only would have gotten Select figures.....which would have included everyone from the first couple waves except Franklin Benjamin

 

[spideyboy_1111]

did palisides just go under... or did someone buy them out? who has the rights now anyway? that stuff usually just doesn't float around... im suprised another company didnt take over or buy them out

 

[Roughneck]

Under....but Muppets is kind of considered tapped out fig wize for the time being.

Least that's the general word on the Muppet Central Forums.....Pallisades is done, Diamond (i think) stopped making the busts, all we got are Master Replicas Photo Puppets....

thats sad

I know...there are still so many figs that could have been made.


Actually Disney is still making some figs, there are some Star Wars Muppets coming....but they sound like they may be PVC.......sold only at Disney Stores.....

 

[spideyboy_1111]

its not like its hard to find a disney store though... i still wish disney continued there action-hero line... that peter pan, hook, philip, and hercules were amazing...

would have loved to see them continue with Aladdin, Prince Eric, Jaffar, Samson (philips horse), Robin Hood, etc...

 

[thebeast]

I don't think the SW Muppet figs are going to be in Disney stores. If I'm not mistaken they're supposed to be exclusive to the Star Wars shops outside of "Star Tours" in both Disney World and Disneyland. And you can usually get that stuff online as well or call the stores and order them.

I know it's tough to tell from the photo but that's Rizzo as Yoda on the right.

I also haven't heard anything about these since they were first announced last May so I don't know if they're still happening. We'll see.

Man, Palisades was a great company. Too bad there wasn't a bigger fan base for muppet figures.

 

[Ash J. Williams]

I miss Palisades' Army of Darkness figures.

 

[Saint553]

I don't.

Never even saw series 2. Series 1 fell apart a lot.

I had to pay like $40 for the damn pit battle ash though...well worth it.

Oh...
