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
I see where you are coming from. I collected almost the entire Palisades line (only missing a rare exclusive here and there) so part of me was happy for the change in scale. Plus I can fit the entire line on a single small shelf, minus the Electric Mayhem which I kept separate.

As for likeness, it varied from figure to figure which was more accurate. Some were better, some where worse, some were about the same. Beaker interested me the most with the interpretation of his body. Plus there was some great pose-ability all around where the Palisades line lacked in the beginning.

That being said, nothing will compare to the days of Palisades. It was back before the crazy over saturation of high end collectibles. Looking forward to the next series, wondering what obscure character would be mixed in with the next improved version of a main character. I remember stumbling upon series 1 by accident at my local Suncoast, seeing them in the corner window as I was on my way out of the mall. Not to mention all my income was disposable at the time...

Anyway, sorry for taking this way off topic.
