    September 24: Celebrating Jim Henson and Steve Whitmire

    Wasn't there going to be a huge character mural posted for the Henson 90 celebrations? Maybe it'll be posted later this weekend.

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Thanks. :smile: Learning to Fly? Didn't we already learn that with Super Scooter? :big_grin: The first thing is to tell yourself "You can fly". Good, now that you believe that, step off the ladder and fly to the ceiling.

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Would much rather get the regular Grover Monster in the announced 2-pack with Mr. Johnson and letter N before a "Green Proto-Grover" were to be released. Would rather have Osvaldo added to the line before Orange Oscar, but that's just me. And now we have to contend with the possibility of...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Thanks for the replies, didn't know that NECA doesn't have the rights to FTB... We'll wait for the pre-orders to go up for sale tomorrow to get the details on Vol 6. And even if it's just a blue painted Big Bird, if I purchase him, I'll call him Pino in the collection lineup. Especially since...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Hey guys, I understand that this was pretty much the easiest variant NECA could have produced to be labelled as Volume 6 and released in the window before :grouchy:, just paint the regular Volume 5 Big Bird blue. Instant repaint! What I'm asking here is, how hard would it have been to take...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    It's said that the pre-orders will go up on NECA's webstore starting this Thursday 9/24/2026. Subtle nod to Jim there. And the only way I can justify ordering Volume 6 is by calling him Pino (Big Bird's Dutch cousin) instead. So now I gotta imagine my Sesame figures shelf with two Big Bird's...

    In the spirit of Halloween - your favorite movies to watch this time of year!

    Question: Because it's mentioned that it would be the basis of a spin-off TV series that has yet to materialize, what are the names on the tombstones in the graveyard in Hocus Pocus? Other than Billy Butcherson's? :search:

    In the spirit of Halloween - your favorite movies to watch this time of year!

    Each year I look forward to the 31 Nights of Halloween lineup on Freeform... And this year they finally got it fright with no extraneous movies that really don't have anything to do with Halloween as part of the monthlong scarathon. (I'm spooking to you Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire!) Not only...

    70 Years, 70 Muppets: More Muppets Please Podcast

    This week's entry, presumably in honor of Tim Curry's memory, Entry #106 are Clueless Morgan and Mad Monty completing the trio of bad pirates from MTI. Maybe that'll be NECA's next expansion for their Ultimate Muppets line what with the mainline and MCC annual exclusive and Muppet Babies...

    70 Years, 70 Muppets: More Muppets Please Podcast

    Couple more additions from these past weeks. August 30 2026, Entry #104: Delbert the La Choy Dragon, I found the tag for the episode humerous. "Help! I'm at a supermarket and a dragon is trying to sell me some noodles!" September 6 2026, Entry #105: Big Tiny Tallsaddle, whose claim to Muppet...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    With regards to Volume 4 Super Grover: The reveal at the annual American International Toy Far was on Valentine's Day, February 14 2026. The figure went up as part of Target's 2026 Haulathon exclusives on March 27 2026. So that's about a month in terms of turn around from reveal to release...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    I'd expect a different lineup since Trevor said he wanted to break the blue characters away from immediately after each other. The way I think such a plan would be doable would be: Volume 6, whichever figure it ends up being. Volume 7: Oscar The Grouch, green character. Herry Monster, blue...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Well, nobody ever said that the Volume 6 reveal/release was 100% set in stone for the Target Fall Geek Out. What we have is the SDCC video where Trevor says 2026 is about trying to establish a calendar with four releases per year at the rate of one release per quarter. He then said 2027 would...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Hey guys, we finally have a start date for the 2026 Target Fall Geek out. ToyNews states that the event will take place on Fridays from next week, September 11 to October 2, with September 18 already designated as "Hasbro Day". So the wait extends a bit longer to any of the other three Fridays...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    :news: This is a Muppet News Flash Mupdate! After three long summer months, my NECA Volume 5 Big Bird finally arrived! Yes, the rare giant turkey landed at my home's doorstep this afternoon and I've now gotten him added to the shelf. Placing him next to the other figures, you really get a...
