John_Young Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Wow! I just picked up the 2 Muppets they have so far from this line brought to us by Palisades Toys. First up they released Sam the Eagle as Mr Arrow. He is huge, and pretty hefty. His garb is detailed and he comes with a tricorn hat (with magnet to keep it on his head), a key, a Bible (with secret compartment to hold treasure map) and a real telescoping telescope. The accuracy and detail on every piece is phenominal. The second piece that was just released is Kermit as Captain Abraham Smollett. He is every inch the muppet / ship's captain that we know and love. He comes with a rapier w/scabbard, a magnetic tricorn hat, and the evil pirate Polly Lobster. The detailing is just marvelous, from his powdered wig to his pot belly. They are also offering a "Ghost of Mr Arrow" figure which has a paler paint application and he comes with seaweed to drape across him. I beleive that it is a convention exclusive, which means that it will be extremely hard to get. I tried to get the Kermit as Indiana Jones convention exclusive and was literally 1 minute too late. And I was at the booth as soon as the con had opened. While these figures are wonderful, bear in mind that some of them are hard to get. I know Target and Media Play stocks them, but each "wave" of figures only consists of about 4 different characters and certain ones just won't sit there "peg warming". If you can find them, go get them! I for one am hoping that they do a Fozzie from Muppet Treasure Island!

Captian Wolfy Wench Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Toys from Muppet Treasure island... how exciting! I will be sure to get me paws on 'em as soon as I see 'em, and even perhaps more especially Kermit as Indiana Jones!! (One of me favorite films of all time, after all) Can't wait to get Smollett and Arrow. Captain Wolfy Wench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Young Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 well "Adventure Kermit" as they call him is going for quite the hefty sum on eBay. The figures are normally around $10, but Indy Kermy is about 10x that. "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..."

JoshuaRed Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 If anyone else here is in the Boston/Northern NE area, you can get 'em at Newbury Comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
