My thinking is that one of the parties wants to do the classic version and another party wants to do a new take.

Yes. A cheap retheme of an existing ride that was done to drive people into the park and spend money. It's just another use of the muppets for pure financial gain, not a creative new project made for the love of being creative with the Muppets. I'm not trying to take anything away from those...

Just goes back to my point. Disney has nondesire to be creative with The Muppets. They exist solely to sell merch now. When merch sales dip they may do a quick showing to remind people they still exist. Then back in the box outside of an out of place appearance here and there. Disney doesn't...

NECA usually have a major property for Geekouts and Haulathons. With TMNT gone from the equation, I think Sesame will have to have something for the fall geekout. They could do the reveal online. It could be a variant of an existing character. Maybe a Blue Big Big, maybe it is something we...

$60 for 3 of the same figure that was previously released, only 4 inches tall, this is why I never got into the SUper7 stuff and am glad NECA has all the Muppets except for Fraggles right now. Sure, the Mahna Mahna 3 pack is also $60 but the figures are bigger, better painted, better sculpted...

Jim Henson sold merchandise to fund Muppet projects. Disney makes Muppet projects to sell merchandise. When Disney first bought the Muppets they were placed under the consumer products division. Disney wants to squeeze all the money they can from The Muppets and no Muppet production will bring...

There is a place holder for Muppet Babies on the neca store site that says sold out with $0.00 price. I wonder if these will all be in one big box set.

Just realized there us a video that shows them all. These look like a hybrid if the puppets are cartoon. Gonzo is 100% cartoon as is Piggy. Fozzie's eyes are cartoon, but passes for puppet. They have the kin and fur texturing of puppets though, which is nice. Over all decent sculpts, but I think...

Animal definitely leans towards the puppet/poser look and color. Rowlf looks to as well based on the head and ear shape. Piggy's coloring is 100% cartoon, but of course the pic is too blurry to see the sculpt. Hopefully we see more detailed pictures of all of them soon.

The idea I saw had the family of Twiddlebugs scaled down to fit in with the other figures (not totally scaled down, but small enough to work). Similar to the Doozers coming in the new Gobo figure. NECA usually throws in a smaller figure or figures into their packs.

I saw a Facebook post that guessed volume 6 could be a surprise accessory set. NECA is known for doing them and they have mentioned wanting to do one. It would be a quicker and easier to produce product. If they did, I imagine it would have a brick wall, street lamp and Sesame Street sign, Big...

EE definitely priced it incorrectly. They priced it as a single pack and NECA's MSRP is more like a one and a half pack. BBTS is good, but I just don't like the high price points. I miss Dorkside Toys. They were my go to for awhile but they took a bad turn and went under.

Id expect that to be corrected and they likely will not honor the mistake. They've changed their prices on orders I already had in the past. Also, they got Bert and Ernie way later than anyone else. So late that I forgot all about the and ended up with an extra of each. I recommend...

I predict Elmo for a few reasons. First, Trevor seems to imply that it's a figure not yet revealed. So anything we have already seen is probably off the table. Second, he mentioned he didn't realize just how many blue characters there were and that they made some lineup changes to space out...

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...
