These are effective design choices, and when paired with that wonderfully-realised head combine to create exactly what you’d expect of a LEGO minifigure of Kermit the Frog.The printed bass drum head is a great touch, while Harry Potter wands make for neat sticks, but enough accessory talk: what about Animal himself? Gonzo is also another character to benefit hugely from the mid-sized legs – this series really wouldn’t have worked in 2017 – and comes complete with his girlfriend Camilla, or maybe just a doll he’s fashioned of her, because the LEGO chicken piece is wildly undersized compared to its source material. Why two of the Muppets’ most talented musicians are animals is confusing to us too, but the new Minifigures collection includes Animal with a drumstick and drumset and Rowlf the Dog holding a piece of sheet music, although we’d much rather have seen him come with a keytar if a full-on Lego piano isn’t an option. The teacup and saucer are from the Ethel Merman episode, where Waldorf tells Statler he takes his tea with “Milk, two sugars, one mouse.

The weekly struggle of Kermit the Frog trying to put on a variety show with the help of a human guest star (and a plethora of bears, pigs, dogs, weirdos, and monsters) would go on to become the biggest TV program in the world. Bunsen Honeydew is the regular host of the Muppet Labs sketches, most recognizable by his almost detail-less melon of a head. While her guitar is appropriate for her main role in Electric Mayhem – she’s the band’s bassist – she’s also played tambourine, and even fronted on trumpet and trombone for the orchestra on occasion, so a second instrument would have really topped things off. The same is mostly true of 71033 The Muppets, and that means these very specific minifigures once again cater to a very specific audience, and it’s Muppets-first rather than LEGO-first (save for a few exceptions).

Sweden never strikes you as one of the culinary capitals of the world, but the Muppets wouldn’t be complete without their Swedish Chef, his basic grasp of a handful of english words, and accessories that include a Lego whisk and smiling tomato. His walkie-talkie accessory lets him down a bit – these two are crying out for some kind of specific reference to one of their inventions, even just in a printed tile a la The Simpsons – but his perfectly-moulded shock of red hair and startled expression make Beaker one of the highlights of this series, and not only because his incredibly tall bonce is so well suited to this particular design language.
