I grew up in Maryland and the CEO of Palisades came to our school and talked about their action figure lines, especially their Muppet line. Too bad this was in 2005. By that time, the line had already gotten off the ground and was difficult to find.
I am a loose collector and was hoping that others shared my interest in this line.
I don't need a complete set but to have the Muppets that I like, I am looking for Zoot (of course), Floyd Pepper, Sam the Eagle, Marvin Suggs, Lips, Pops, and the Backstage Playset.
To complete my set I need the above and Patrol Bear Fozzie, Samuel Arrow, Usher Scooter, Dr. Phil Van Neuter, and Tuxedo Fozzie.
Would love to talk about the line (including the exclusives that I know I missed and probably don't even know about). Or if you are looking to trade, I can trade WWF/E figures or I have PayPal.
I just got Sweetums, to me that's exciting!

Yes I do(they're my wifes now) and they are perhaps the greatest figures I have ever seen.
The quality of the sculpting is incredible, the accessories are perfect and the size weight are ideal as well.
I was really looking forward to the Sesame Street Series before Palisades went under, now I'm just trying to complete my wifes collection, I spent around $300 this christmas acquiring the entire Electric Mayhem(minus Lips) plus Fozzie.

I remember a while back, Johnny Fiama sat in the clearance aisle at my local TRU for ages.
It was a shame, really. I didn't pick it up because I didn't feel like starting a new collection, but I thought Johnny was probably the best new Muppet to debut on Muppets Tonight.

I've got the muppet labs playset and a EB-Games exclusive Miss Piggy. I had planned to get into the line but I lost interest in collecting shortly after.
If you would be interested in either one let me know.

I have almost the complete set Series 1-9 (with the exception of Series 4 for whatever reason). I also have a bunch of exclusives like Jim Henson, Holiday Rizzo, Super Grover, Rainbow Connection Kermit, OMGCNFO exclusive Animal & 2 sets of Penguins, Uncle Deadly, Steppin Out Bunsen & Beaker, and a few others.
It was a great line of figs I'll say that. While I got out of toy collecting, I sold everything with the exception of my figs in this line. Collecting those Muppet figs were an absolute joy and I was disappointed that Palisades went under. If you are interested, after the Palisades boards closed down, Ken Lilly (one of the guys responsible for the line besides Michael Horn) started his own forum on creatusmaximus.com. If you have any questions about the line you can shoot over there and sign up for the forums. Alot of the people over there jumped over to Creatusmaximus.com when the Palisadestoys.com forum shut down for good. Ken posts over there alot and could answer any of your questions and I think a great deal of people over there could help you out as well.

That's great, thanks Jon. I had no idea there was still an active or at least semi active forum regarding Muppet figures. I know of a couple but they are pretty much dead, with only a couple posts every couple months. Thanks for the info!

I have an almost complete collection, which includes the Toy Fair giveaways white tux Rowlf and gold tux Gonzo. I just sold my variant Zoot for almost three hundred dollars. I still have a white Lips I picked up from Newbury comics even after the line's fate had been sealed.

I've still got all of mine. It was an awesomely detailed series. And Ken Lilly is a badass.
Philly is about an hour away from me and if I wasn't so lazy and drove down for the Wizard World Dr. Teeth, I'd probably be a couple hundred richer. Not a big collecting guy, but I had a ton of fun when this line was at it's prime.

I never got into this line, but I always loved looking at these figures whenever I saw them in stores. They were very, very well made figures. The only one I ever picked up was the Indiana Frog while I was on vacation in Disney World. It's fantastic... hat, whip, and Raiders idol! I'd also like to get my hands on the Jim Henson - it just seems like a really cool figure to own and a great conversation piece.

I have all of series one and a couple from series two.
I wish I had more, but they became progressively harder to find for me after that...
I'll go on the secondary market one day and own them all. I love the muppets, and Jim Henson is one of my heroes...
I am still saddened that Palisades went under right before the sesame street line started, though Super Grover exists, at least.
