Favorite Underrepresented Muppet?

[kniedzw]

I'm sort of in an odd mood, so here's an odd sort of question.

Everyone thinks of a particular muppet when they think of Jim Henson. Generally, it's someone like Kermit, Miss Piggy, Oscar the Grouch, or Bert (or Ernie). ...but most of us who grew up with them have a particular oddball favorite. Perhaps it's the Honkers from Sesame Street.

Beaker. Super Grover (Not Grover. Super Grover) Pinnochio with the nose carrying Kermit out of the window.

And, though it's not a character, the giant orrery from Dark Crystal was amazing to me as a kid.

I have a Super Grover figurine. :) Love him!!

With Super Grover, it was his helmet that always got me.

...and the orrery was fan-freaking-tastic. I totally wanted one for my room.

You know that Laughing Tom has the orrery in his Lodge, right? Or something damn like the orrery from "Dark Crystal." I think its broken again, but it could be fixed and is all kinds of useful.

Yeah, but there's a difference between, "This is a cool thing, and we have it in our game," and "Holy shit; did I show you the awesome thing I have in my basement now?"

My mom used to do a wicked Farmer Grover voice. Only story she ever told that included voices. She's a one hit wonder that woman.
