I have always been big fan of Jim Henson. And his flagship creation, The Muppets, is very hard not to love. Yet, somehow, I've managed to not have any Muppets in my toy collection until very recently. Many years ago, when I started collecting toys as an adult, the epic Palisades Muppets line was in full swing. There ended up being over 100 amazing figures, but it was just too overwhelming and intimidating for me. I never purchased any but I always regretted not picking up a few choice characters. Flash forward 15 or so years when Diamond Select Toys started a new Muppets line in 2018. I've been eyeing them since they started coming out and there have been several times where I almost took the plunge and bought them all. But it was the recent "Best of" re-releases last year, combined with a random bogo sale at FYE right before Christmas that finally made me pull the trigger. Now I'm addicted and I can't believe I waited so long to add these characters to my collection. Let's check out Miss Piggy below!
Interestingly, I think Miss Piggy's face sculpt/deco looks significantly better than the images on the packaging and the solicit images you see on toy websites like BBTS. Usually the opposite is true.
Here are the contents of this two-pack: Miss Piggy, Kermit, Robin, Foo-Foo, a food bowl, a hand mirror, a director's chair, a framed portrait of Kermit, a log, a banjo, and a stool.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are all my DST Muppets so far. I really dig this line.
Cheers!
