The RoboBusters are a bit from Muppets Tonight where Bunsen and Beaker try to stop Robo-Abe Lincoln.

Finally got around to checking this out; What a fascinating deep dive! I’d love to see more merch retrospectives in the future

Y'know, as a Muppet fan, I'm both entertained about how obscure some of this got due to them not being allowed to use certain designs or things, but also that the lasting legacy in my mind of this line is that Peter Linz, one of the performers and the guy currently behind Walter, Statler and Link Hogthrob has confessed that he collected the whole line but had trouble for years on getting a single Dr. Teeth variant.

I have most of the Muppet action figures from the main line (minus the exclusives and repaints) in my home and they are some of my prized possessions. I'm particularly fond of Kermit, Dr. Teeth, Beaker, Fozzie, Animal, Lew Zealand, Beauregard, Uncle Deadly, Sweetums, and the Swedish Chef kitchen playset. Palisades really went above and beyond with their attention to detail and craft...and I still wish that the Sesame Street figures could have been produced. Thanks for sharing this fantastic video with us!

If somebody had a full muppets collection, like all hung up on tubes or cylinders. Yea, that'd be a cool wall to have

I have been collecting these beautys for 6 years now. Got a decent amount of em😄

This one was a lot of fun! Keep it up.

I have a full series collection still boxed and I'm 4 away from having all the exclusives and specials including the wedding set I love this line ! Thanks for the video Oh and the Palisades kermit lunchbox is half the size of the other lunchboxes they all came in a velvet bag .

not me watching a 40+ minute video on muppets figures /pos

Hi, great video! I can share a bit of clarification about the Lunchbox exclusives, as I was an editor for ToyFare. The first lunchbox Kermit wasn’t for sale. It was given away as a party favor to attendees at a party Palisades threw at the 2002 Wizard World East Convention, which I guess makes it an industry exclusive. And yeah, the other three were sold by Wizard Entertainment as ToyFare exclusives.

I remember playing with the Swine's In Space playset as a kid,it was second hand so it didn't have the Miss Piggy figure with it so I played My little ponies in space.I didn't know what the playset was from at the time until my Mom checked out a VHS copy of the Muppet Show and I saw it on there,it blew my little mine.

I remember randomly finding series 1 in a suncoast window. I was blown away when I saw them.

Oh man I miss Palisades I wish I still had my Glow in the Dark Uncle Deadly, he was always my favorite Muppet, I’ll get him again one day You should totally cover the Disney parks Star Wars Muppets figures

Its crazy to think these figures were packed with accessories and fully painted for less than 20 bucks per figure. I think series 1 was like 8.99 each.

this was a fantastic video. I have most of the muppet figures and I really enjoyed collecting them. It's fun to think about what Might have been. I still need that backstage playset!

I Really wish with All of my Heart that Palisades would come together one more time finish Some of what they Never got to make The Muppets Show Stage set would be Ultimate

Awesome stuff! I wanted there to be a video like this for a while now.

I love these videos on history of old toy lines

This video was awesome! Would love to see more like this in the future!

fantastic video!! I wanted to start collecting these back in 2017 but didn’t really have the funds to do so but ugh this video really highlights just how great and unique these guys are!! I need to start even if i only end up with a few. I think I’m gonna nab koozebane kermit and a Gonzo figure to start! Thank you for the push!!

Really good AC history video. Keep up the good work man.

This was very cool. Some of the info is a bit off, but that’s the Internet. For the most part, this is damn comprehensive and very impressive. Like the Clifford thing…shit man, even I’d forgotten about that! 😂

Its unfortunate they dont make toys like this anymore...one toy line I feel is comparable to a certain capacity is Diamond Selects Ghostbusters line from 2016. The first 15 figures let you build an entire rooftop diorama and the other 15 built the firehouse. Which is almost completely unheard of for just about any toy line. I was fortunate enough to get all of them to build the rooftop but didnt quite get all to build the firehouse.

I bought a lot of the Palisades Muppet sets, I missed out on the Backstage set. I wish I could find it!

Fantastic job!

christmas carol would have been cool too

I love this video so much omg

Great video, never heard of these

The what could have been part made me real sad. So many great charachters

Will you make a video soon on the Darkwing Duck toyline? It had some cool figures that we're gonna be made but unfortunately cancelled.

Mega Checkered Gonzo must've made it pretty far along into production. I own one of the prototypes. He's not hand-painted, he's factory-painted. (And I didn't spend a huge amount for him, so I assume there were a few out there.) Mine differs from the one shown at 43:02, though. The tie on mine is not fully painted, and he sports a pink flower on his lapel.

Did you forget to cover the Ebay exclusive Christmas Swedish Chef Dressed like Santa?

This video (& certain financial concerns) has inspired me to start selling off my Muppets collection. Is anyone looking for a lunchbox Kermit?

its a bit a shame how much was planned and how much tey had to cancel
