Disney Taunts Star Wars Collectors Yet Again with Exclusive Muppets Figurines
Posted at 11:55 AM Apr 25, 2008
I stayed quiet when Disney had an exclusive Indiana Jones action figure, available only at their theme parks, well before this year's line-up had ever been announced. I bitched loudly when it was revealed that Disney was going to get a slew of exclusive Star Wars-based Mr. Potato Heads, including a Darth Maul, a Boba Fett, a Han Solo and more, but I didn't have an L.A. Weekly blog and thus no one paid attention. But now, when Disney is going to have an exclusive figurine set of the Muppets in Star Wars get-ups this summer? Well, Disney, you're going to have to deal with this:
I hate you and your ass-face! (/runs away sobbing)

LMAO. What were they thinking? I just don't see a connection between the Muppets and Star Wars. It's sad really.
Posted 04/25/2008 at 10:27:35 AMStar Wars has been connected with the Muppets for years. Mark Hamill (as himself and Luke Skywalker), C-3P0, R2-D2, and Chewbacca were guests on The Muppet Show when Star Wars first came out. The Great Gonzo was the masked villian Derth Nader and Miss Piggy was Princess Leia. The connection has always been there.
