NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

[The Count]

What I took away from that video walkthrough...

Oscar is fully confirmed as Volume 7, so we need to find out who Volume 6 will be, possibly with the reveal this Sunday evening. If Herry Monster is indeed listed for Q1 early next year, that'd make him Volume 8 after Oscar.

Not sure where Cookie Monster would fit in the lineup, but I'm glad he got mentioned as in the works as the last Toony Classics figure still not mentioned until now as part of the Ultimates.

After that, Grover/Mr. Johnson 2-pack, Frazzle Monster, and Sherlock Hemlock. Glad Trevor said that they showed too much last year and they're trying to catch up. Not sure if they'll reveal future additions at NYCC in October but I look forward to what they'll show at that upcoming convention.

He did not. Not sure if he even noticed Oscar was 7.

I was really hoping Trevor would address it himself. Was wondering if it was an error but he does say the box is final.

I really hate this but it's probably Elmo. If Cookie is only just being worked on.

Yeah i've watched a few walkthroughs of the booth & i don't think anyone has caught it. I'm waiting for Veebs' walkthrough though i feel if anyone could point it out it might be him. At least there is a confirmation that Cookie is in the works & Herry is still planned.

Veeb's did address it. Around the 13:25 mark. Trevor says there may be a volume 6 reveal that may come out before Oscar in the next couple of weeks. There is a Fall Geekout event at Target that starts in August so they may have a Sesame reveal like we got with Super Grover. It makes sense because Oscar took a while to figure out the mechanics of so I'm sure there is at least one other figure that they had in the works.

Personally I prefer the shorter turn around between reveals and releases. Already seeing so many figures in advance kills the excitement for me and makes me anxious that we may never get what we've seen.

If it's Elmo I'll actually be pretty happy with that. One because it would be a true surprise, and two because I actually don't hate Elmo like some people.

I wouldn't mind NECA Elmo either to be honest.

Yeah, Elmo would actually be a great choice for number 6

Would I be upset if were released as Volume 6? Honestly, no. Elmo is a classic core character who appeared in Season 16, in the episode with Phil Donahue where Snuffy was made to stay in Big Bird's nest until the grownups finally met him. Also, Elmo was part of Palisades proposed line, as part of Series 3.

Do I hope it'll actually be Elmo? Honestly, no, I'd prefer another character first. But I understand that said figure could be produced quicker than others. So it's not a major dealbreaker for me moving forward.

Would I display him prominently? At the moment, my Sesame Street shelf has everybody in volume release order, so he'd be in between and , but as the lineup expands with more figures, he'd fall in alpha-numeric order according to which letter (or number) he gets as a pack-in.

 

[Random numbers]

Nice! I just watched Veeb's video and came here to see if it'd already been shared since it provides some exciting info about figures coming out soon. I agree with others that Elmo seems like a good choice for vol 6. I would be very happy with that pick. I am also happy to hear NECA is shooting for releasing one figure for the line every quarter. 4 Sesame Street figures plus 4 Muppet Show figures per year sounds great to me, as long as both lines last at least 6 more years.

Why is everyone automatically saying will be the next entry after ? Sure, it's an easier figure to make. But by that token, there are various other characters whose figures would be easy to make as well... Heck, I got the perfect idea.

Bert's favorite number is 6 right? Then how about Bertha as Volume 6. Just remake the Bert figure with a long sweeping womanly hairpiece and lady's clothes and you've got Bertha. Just check the Rainbow Connection Finale from The Muppet Movie for research purposes.

Or even better... Farmer Ernie! Yeah, forget about all these letters and numbers that we don't need as pack-ins, just give him some of the Muppet fruits or vegetables hanging around the NECA booth. One red Muppet tomato performed by Camille Bonora, one Muppet potato performed by Jerry Nelson, one Muppet beet performed by Kevin Clash, and one head of Muppet lettuce performed by Richard Hunt. Though they should check that lettuce thoroughly, we don't have a case of #2 so explosive it becomes a #3, 4, 5 or 6 reported on Sesame Street this summer. J/K
