Here's my just for fun guess on characters that I think we're likely to see in the line based on my guess about interest for Palisades collectors and generally in Tiers of likelihood.
Tier 1: Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Piggy, Rowlf, Animal
Tier 2: Janice, Floyd, Dr. Teeth, Zoot
Tier 3: Bean Bunny, Mahna Mahna and Snowths, Bobo, Lips
Tier 4: Crazy Harry, Wayne and Wanda, Statler and Waldorf

I'm so excited to see what's coming for this and their Sesame Street line!
idk; normies really seem to love Statler and Waldorf, in addition to Beaker, Animal and Chef.

I know many people view Sal as "the one that got away", but I don't really think he has the same appeal as Muppet Show characters. My top pick for "characters Palisades didn't do" is Mahna Mahna & Snowths. Wayne and Wanda would be fun and crazy but have me worried about sales if I were NECA.

Sal was the one that got away 20 years ago, but I don't see him being done anytime soon.

As you referenced, we should expect to see characters that "normies" know. Snowths and Manah Manah are probably a shoe in, which would be great since we dont have them in this scale.

I doubt we will see Wayne and Wanda unless this line does VERY well.

I hope NECA is able to walk the line between both licenses and give us a Reporter Kermit with a hat.

Also, if the buzz online is to be believed, a lot of people really want to get their hands on this line. I hope they have some good retail presence so the "normies" see these IRL.
