I haven't, I really wanted to support any Muppet endeavors but (these are just my opinions) I felt like the DS line was kinda sub par. The sculpts were really soft to me and lack detail, which is a common problem with Select figures, and while people say they're more accurate to the actual puppets I gotta give the edge to Palisades, the Gonzo Diamond made looks like a caricature and their postponed Sam the Eagle looked like a bodybuilder (though I will say the Miss Piggy looked good). Side complaint, I really think they should've continued in whatever scale Palisades is, the same way NECA made their Simpsons figures the same scale as Playmates, they probably would've had more people buying them to fill holes in thier collections, it would've allowed for more surface to add more detail, and the packaging wouldn't have seemed so empty (another common complaint). So, long story short, I haven't: D
