For me, The Muppet Show was the perfect in-between show for those in-between years. It wasn’t quite a cartoon, and it wasn’t quite as boring as those serious shows the grownups watched. It came on in the evening, so you felt just a little bit grownup watching it without going into Murder, She Wrote territory. A LEGO builder who goes by the name j-p-30 his us right in the between childhood and adulthood feels with these three clever busts of some of our favorite Muppet friends. We have poor Beaker, whose scientific experiments tend to end in fiery calamity. Gonzo was the weird bendy-nosed Muppet Show pianist, and the less said about Animal’s outrageous antics, the better. All together, you’ve got the makings of a trio that could make us giggle even if Trapper John M.D. was totally your jam. Well done, Mr. j-p-30!
Thank you for featuring my latest MOCs! It’s been a long time between drinks here. Last time I was featured n brothers-brick it was back in 2006! :p ( https://www.brothers-brick.com/2006/03/04/indiana-jones-minifigs-by-jp-30/ )
I can’t think of a single time Gonzo played the piano…
Thank you for helping me realize how much I want a couple series of Muppet minifigures. Especially if they make the whole archway display from the intro song of the show!
^ haha, I was going to say something yesterday. Gonzo mostly on trumpet and stunts. Rowlf and Dr. Teeth the most usual Muppet pianists. ;)
