![]() The taller Muppets, yet he's almost the full 5". Of course, you'll have him sitting down most of the time, so it's not a major issue. The body sculpt and articulation work well together, and smaller details like the real metal chain, look great. The eyes are wide enough yet lidded enough to work with either the open or closed mouth (the jaw isĪrticulated). His right hand is sculpted in a pointing pose, while the left can hold the clipboard easily.Īnimal is another solid figure, with a great expression. The glasses are permanently attached of course. Proportions look good, and while the glasses on mine are bent downward a bit, that's something you can adjust with a little hot water/cold water Again, they added a slight texture to the fuzzy face and hands, while the rest of the outfit is The head does not extend, in case you were wondering, but the hand sculpts do work with a couple of the accessories.īunsen is better, with a very recognizable look to him overall. But taken as a whole, he justĭoesn't look quite right to me. The expression is good, and even the high water pants look great.

The second wave has just started to hit, and I'm covering the 'select' versions which are available through online retailers and include ALL the extras. The biggest issue for wave one was the paint quality, which Yea, they're small, but that shouldn't be much of a surprise. ![]() The sculpt, articulation, and accessories. No duh, right? But the first wave took a lot of flack that I don't think it deserved, considering ![]() I suspect many people have trouble conceptualizing size, because it wasn't until collectors actually had them in hand that I started to hear a lot of complaints about I made my disappointment known, as I am often wont to do.
