Proving that Jim Henson’s Muppets are still a popular line of characters (are you taking note, Mr Eisner?), Palisades Toys has announced the availability and very fast sell out of a new series of Muppet Figures. “The response to Series 8 actually caught us off guard… In a positive way,” says Palisades President and CEO Michael Horn. “There seems to be a major resurgence in collectors’ interest in the line”. Scroll down the official page for news on future Muppet products, including a Sweetums action figure, an early look at the Series 9 collection (available this fall) and a super deluxe playset to house the figures and based on the classic The Muppet Show backstage design!
