Vinylmation Stories - Penguin

I am a big fan of MuppetVision 3D as I'm sure I've said many times before on this blog. The jokes never get old, and the Muppets are so fun and cute! One of my favorite gags is the Penguin Orchestra. They don't play a central role at first, we see them ushered into the theater during the pre-show and then we see them raise out of the floor at the start of the show.

Their significance comes at the end when these innocent penguins shoot the Swedish Chef with a cannon, causing all kinds of commotion and ending our tour of MuppetLabs. My younger brother shares my love of MuppetVision 3D and bought this Penguin Vinylmation from Muppets #2 for my birthday one year. The story behind this fella is that he reminds me of the times I've laughed at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and my sweet little brother who bought this for me.

Collector of Habit - The Muppets

Welcome to a new series of posts - Collector of Habit! These posts aim to give collectors ideas on what figures to collect, by choosing a theme to follow. Each post will suggest a new theme to base your collection on.

Let's start with The Muppets! If you're a Muppets fan, there are currently 3 series of Muppets vinyls to get you started on forming your own Muppets Vinylmation! Here are some of my favorites from across these series:

Muppets #1

   

Bean Bunny, The Swedish Chef and Sweetums

Muppets #2

      

Penguin, Waldo and Scooter

Muppets #3

    

Animal, Sam Eagle and Gonzo

You could even extend your Muppets collection to include two figures from the Park series:

  

Kermit from Park #1 and MuppetVision 3D from Park #7

And, there are also 9" figures in the Muppet series:

    

MuppetVision Kermit, Animal and Gonzo

Those are my suggestions for a Muppets themed Vinylmation collection. I'll be back with a new theme next time
