Of Muppets and Men: A Retrospective of Palisade's Legendary Line
Simple, but effective, here's Kermit the way most of us think of him. The camera, while not really tying into the original show, is still a really nice touch. Miss Piggy is missing an articulated neck, and her paint is a little off. All this was corrected by the time First Mate Piggy came out (see below). Every toy company produces variants, but few do them right. Note the attention to detail that went into each figure and every accessory. Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful toys I own. Ignore Batman and Khan: they're only visiting. |
There may be lines I like as much as Palisade's Muppets, but I'm pretty sure there is no toy line I like more. For a number of reasons, these figures represented the epitome of what modern action figures could be. Using a variety of different materials and techniques, Palisades put together whimsical creations, worthy of the property they represented. |
If you're a fan of the Muppets, I also reviewed a set of Disney's Star Tours PVCs a while back.
