Correct and correct. The piggy bank doesn't count toward "collection" that reason - hence the "blue Bg" characters and the "orange bg" character. The random switching is a bug. We submitted a fix a while ago and are just waiting on Apple approval.
Same thing is happening to me with Epoch but not any others. Good to see I'm not the only one. Thanks devs for looking into it. I'm on an iPhone 5.
Been stuck on the last two for about a week. I'm starting to doubt their existence. Has anyone completed 100% of the characters?
I'm stuck on the mad bull and the grave digger. I try saving enough for 10 tries at a time thinking that spamming the machine will help but not really. @Mikeg123 Was that with the piggy bank active?
Spamming the machine won't make any difference. We are planning to improve the way the "duplicate" system works in a future update.
It would be fun if we could upgrade them by collecting more, 6 dark lords equals one dark lord with a light saber. Of 5 tree frogs equals one tree frog with a light saber. See where I'm going with this? Kidding of course. It shouldn't be easy to get them all or what's the point, right? I think the current system works fine. I am curious what this new improvement might be. Are any more characters planned or is this the full line up now? Kiwi has now tied with Forget Me Not as my favorite hoppers.
I think I had 48/50 characters when the update hit, and then I did buy the piggy bank. I think I just got lucky with the final two that I needed. And I only bought one of the characters when I first got the game -- Grave Digger, I believe.
I have all 53. Dec 19th update said 4 new characters but they were already there. Still only 53. Now doesn't seem to be any point in collecting coins as nothing to spend them on.
Start stockpiling, since Klicktock just announced future updates with possibly 10 new characters/month! I wonder how many of those new characters will be secret?

I just landed my 53rd this morning (Epoch) without using the piggybank. Holy [profanity redacted], that's awesome. A simple one I'd like to see is a poison dart frog. Just needs a new color scheme for the current frog model.
As well as adding new characters we're also going to improve some of the more "boring" characters. Did you all see the update to the Kiwi? Frogs and bunny improvements are on our list. And we have a cool idea for the frogs (if we can manage to pull it off).
Are Characters > Gameplay + Fix Hello, all! frisbee10461 here! I have one question [potential flaw] in this otherwise fantastic game. Are more people focusing on gaining characters or on actually playing the game? From the amount of posts I have seen from players [attempting to gain all 53 characters] as well as developers [adding 10 new characters per month, but no other significant changes to the gameplay], this seems to be the trend. As a fix, why not allow players to unlock a character if they achieve a particular score [for example, a score of 500 = one character unlock]. This will result in players actually focusing on playing the game, as opposed to completing their character collection. Just my two cents, frisbee10461
