LEGO 71035 Minifigures The Muppets Limited Edition Collection 6 Pack Mystery Bag Set from 12 to Collect with Toy Kermit the Frog & Miss Piggy

Product Information

Piggy’s works well in that regard, and given how much those heads lean into action figure territory already, restricting each of the Muppets to traditional minifigure torsos and legs was a wise decision. At some stage, these need to be LEGO-first interpretations of their characters, and Miss Piggy is a great example of just about striking the right balance. It has been long-reported that the LEGO Group would be expanding its Collectible Minifigure Series into yet another new exciting property. While Star Wars fans have been eager to see if a galaxy far, far away will join the likes of the Marvel lineup from last fall, today we’re getting a first look at what to expect from the latest collection. One of two members of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem represented in 71033 The Muppets – and perhaps the biggest omissions beyond Scooter are the rest of that band – Janice is much better suited to the LEGO Group’s current colour palette than some of her fellow characters, and almost every facet of her minifigure captures her on-screen presence perfectly.

That’s Kermit’s banjo, which slots right in alongside the growing family of LEGO string instruments – essentially, it’s everything you’d expect of a LEGO banjo; no more, no less. But even while the rest of the Muppets’ accessories don’t necessarily bring any new moulds to the table, they’re still a fun collection of new prints and, in one case, a complete build. The beauty of a series like The Muppets is that even if you’ve never seen so much as a minute of their original 1970s’ TV series, any number of the movies that followed or even their recent adventures into primetime television, their pop culture dominance is so ubiquitous that you’ve definitely heard of Kermit the Frog. The standard LEGO colour palette serves him perfectly, too, mixing vivid orange, red and yellow with dual-moulded arms and legs. Animal’s snare must be tuned pretty tightly, because he’s finishing off the series on a high note. (Sorry not sorry.) — Accessories — Whether you want to get a full set or just a few favorites, be sure to watch out for our Feel Guide coming soon! If you’re looking for Animal in particular, just give the bags a shake and listen out for the one that rattles the most: there are a lot of pieces in there… — Price —

Each of the blind bag figures will come with their own accessories fitting for the character, as well as a display stand. There are some pretty novel inclusions like a printed Miss Piggy tile, Monster drum kit, and a little pumpkin to pair with the Swedish Chef. There’s quite a bit of exclusive pieces here to pair with the LEGO minifigures themselves, which should excite LEGO enthusiasts and Muppets fans alike. Fozzie comes with a nightclub-style microphone stand and a banana. Mic stands are a classic stand-up comedian tool, although Fozzie tended to work without one. The banana is no doubt in reference to the hilarious Banana Sketch from the Sandy Duncan episode.

His bushy eyebrows and ‘tache would have looked just fine printed on a standard minifigure head, with a removable chef’s hat on top. Rowlf the Dog might not be the character you first think of when you hear the word ‘Muppets’ in 2022, but he boasts the biggest legacy: the first Muppet to soar to national stardom in the early ‘60s, he was also one of those rare early characters designed as a live-hand puppet, and he was even one of the first Muppets based on a specific real-world animal.All that taken into account, and it’s hard to grumble too much about what each of these characters brings to the table from a price perspective. — Pictures —

Fozzie Bear Miss Piggy debuted on screens a full 21 years after Kermit, in the original The Muppet Show, but she’s arguably now just as iconic as her green co-star (or, we’re sure she’d say, way more iconic). Giving Kermit mid-sized legs goes some way to communicating the difference in stature between the on-again, off-again pair, but the heavy lifting is otherwise left to their unique head moulds.
