The con exclusives going on sale tomorrow are a TMNT 2012 black and white box set, and batman figure, and another figure if those kids un 80s Halloween costumes. Nothing Muppet or Sesame Street.

Eh... this was rather uninspired to me.

It didn't go up on time with the other releases. Sold out shortly after it went up. I was lucky and got an order in. Hopefully more come into stock in a couple of months like Count. TBH, I'm not sure how to gauge the popularity of the line. Old releases are still around, but then Super Grover...

They are basically the same height in the side by side. NECA has a longer body with short legs though and is a bit thicker all around. Palisades is more lanky.

That's my point, though. The "fans" didn't make Steve do anything. People have been talking about "wrong sounding Kermit" for some time now. Steve chose to write this post and go after Matt's performance during the hype of a new Muppet Show special when everyone was searching for Muppets. He...

Sorry, but Steve isn't this naive. He could have dropped this blog at any point in the last 10 years. He chose to do so right before the special aired. To say he wasn't dragging Matt makes no sense. The entire thing was about how Kermit isn't Kermit anymore. No matter how calmly you say it, you...

They will scale with their Sesame Street line and their Sesame Street line scales well enough with Palisades. However, we need to remember that Palisades Muppet figures are over 20 years old now. The fact that NECA even made an attempt to scale with the Palisades figures shows they care enough...

The thing about "One Muppet one voice" is that it doesn't mean a performer shouldn't be recast. It just means one performer at a time. Also, it should be noted that Sesame Workshop didn't do things that way, though for different reasons. David and Eric took over for Frank Oz, Frank would still...

That is in fact the S we will get. I hope Elmo is soon after Big Bird and maybe Telly. A proper Sesame Street display needs the color variety.

Piggy has grown on me a bit and as long as they do a second head with an open mouth I think I'm good with the look. I'm surprised Kermit is not in wave one of this line. That seems rather bold to do Piggy first. I hope wave 2 is very soon after with Kermit, Fozzie, and maybe Lew Zealand or Beau...

I think Steve was right in the sense that there should only ever be one performer of a character at a time. There shouldn't be a "B" team for The Muppets. At least not the core cast. No one should be wondering which Kermit they were going to get. However, while there should only be one main...

Super Grover will likely be released during the spring haulathon. Those figures are usually in stock and ready to ship.

Turns out he has both letters, which is nice. Looks like extra hands as well. The inside flap of the box shows Super Grover in front of a green phone booth that doesn't appear to be in the box. Could that be the Palisades one they used in the photo? I'm glad to see Super Grover, but it doesn't...

I prefer that look too, but maybe NECA has to specifically stick with classic TMS looks for the moment.
