    I think I prefer Palisades' version, sacrificing articulation for a better look (they also had a better head sculpt too). Some of the torso and neck cuts seem pretty unnecessary, like how often do we see Big Bird twisting at the waist? And the two neck cuts close together is certainly a choice...

    Nice. The season 1 head makes him essential, but there's just too many cuts in the body that it really affects his aesthetic appeal.

    Good to see they provided something. I would buy an issue... you just can't at this point.

    NECA's Ultimate Muppet Action Figures

    Well thankfully Sesame Street and the Muppets are way more popular than Dinosaurs, with Sesame not really having much resembling an actual figure line. I think a lot of fans undersell the popularity of Muppet and SST, just cause we're so deep into it. NECA is so slow that the absolute soonest I...

    The Simpsons Super7 Ultimates debacle really fried things. I really think what killed that line was absurd picks like Robot Itchy and Scratchy opposed to variants of Homer and Bart, so it isn't really comparable. But people were complaining about stuff like Astronaut Homer over regular Homer...

    The cards at Toy Fair had Piggy Q1 '27, Gonzo Q4 this year, and Mahna Mahna this year with the quarter blocked... apparently that has already changed. Rowlf is extremely ideal: maybe the most-beloved character, rare as heck in the Palisades line (in his regular form), and the upright piano is...

    Boppity being the Muppet line's equivalent of Frazzle would be an absolute godsend lol. Hopefully the trend is basically 2 popular, 1 super obscure/character Palisades didn't do.

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    I think people are underestimating the line, like some dude in the Instagram comments saying the line is too niche to get the accessory pack they've been floating forever. Yes, it's a "kids property", but do people have no idea how popular and important Sesame is, and it's never gotten a true...

    Yeah, he isn't coming out early in the line @FanOfOneTimers. I think we will see him in '28 at the earliest... I still don't like the snail pace of this line and wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't come out at all. I'm really curious how Super Grover impacts the Grover & Johnson set... would...

    It's frightening that DST Kermit figure is already that old.

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Yeah, I don't think enough people have been complaining about this honestly. Has zapped all my interest in the line (though of course I will still get excited and collect some of them) I'm still going Cookie. Trevor (head of the line who does the interviews) said they had too many fuzzy and...

    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 &...

    I'm not a fan of how small Mr. Johnson is. I feel like sometimes you just have to go with the eye test/whatever feels right vs whatever style guidance they were given Off-memory I think they were referring to fans making customs.

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    The most previous namecards at Comic Con had Big Bird, Oscar, and Herry for Q2 2026, and Sherlock for Q3 (which seems basically impossible now). Frazzle didn't have a namecard as he was initially in Herry's spot. Honestly it's a little unprofessional and weird to me how those namecards mean...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    I'll bet Sweetums goes up to about the top of Big Bird's neck. I will say a point toward Cookie seems to be in the interview, it was suggested there's some mandate from Sesame that they want the "main characters" to be out before an accessory pack, and for the main characters to get at least a...
