    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Got the email from BBTS, the preorder for :wisdom: is now available for the same price at their website, though its tagged with an expected shipping set for June 2026. Hope this helps.

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    No, there will be a decidedly large gap between figure releases at this pace... But I'm more than okay with it given my overdone impatiance when we had the Palisades Muppets figures, calling my local toy stores every week to check if they had arrived after the announcement of such. And hey...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Will most definitely wait for the pre-order on BBTS now that I've got an account there and love their shipping, plus NECA has Big Bird listed as "Expected Shipping: Q3 2026 (July-September). A price of $59.99 is what I expected for this figure. Noticed that the picture of Mr. Hooper isn't...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    I'll most likely wait until Wednesday to read through the figure info and then weigh the price factor. Now we're waiting for the upcoming Toy Fair to find out who the mystery figure will be, and hopefully news about Herry Monster and the others as well.

    Yesss!!! Question is, should I get :batty: now or keep to my monthly purchasing schedule to not overload the ol' credit card. Decisions, decisions.

    *In :rolleyes: voice: Unbelievable but trues okay. Say hello to my littel friend, Entry #72, Topo Sticky okay. Ches, he's a puppet's puppet, and sticky too. And before you say the numbering's off by one, Episode 71 of the 70 Years 70 Muppets podcast was a retrospective lookback at the...

    If we end up with Grover as tall as Neca's Bert figure and Mr. Johnson as tall as Palisades's Ernie figure I'd be okay with that difference.

    And here we are, ToughPigs has announced the start of 70 Years, 70 Muppets Season 2. First up as Entry #71 is none other than the cool one himself, Clifford. This'll be fun to follow through the rest of the year. :)

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Just received :( and I'm sooo happy! My thoughts on the figure overall. Interchangeable Hair: They can be changed, but the tuft from the open-mouthed head doesn't really stay that well in the closed-mouth head. Would prefer the tufts (and eyebrows too for that matter) to have been magnetic...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Eh, I get that and will just buy them when they get released. But I believe that anytimepally reported that at the New York Comic Con the NECA people said Big Bird, Herry, and Oscar were planned for 2026 Q2; whereas Frazzle and Sherlock for 2026 Q3. Then again, I also understand that release...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Er... Based on the information at Muppet Wiki and posted in this thread, I thought the release order (if mirroring the announcement order) was: 2026 Toy Fare (February/March 2025): Big Bird. Herry Monster. Oscar The Grouch. 2025 San Diego Comic Con International (July): Grover and Mr. Johnson...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Something else to consider... They mentioned on that podcast how Sesame Street Wave 2/3 was dominated by blue characters, that's another point that makes me think :insatiable: might be the TBA figure, but we'll hopefully find out during the 2026 Toy Fare. Also, I fully laugh at the thought...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Just finished listening to the whole podcast episode. My thoughts? I'm excited to start adding these figures to my overall collection with :frown: and :batty: next year, followed by :wisdom: in early 2026. As for the TBA figure following Big Bird... I would guess it could be Cookie Monster...

    Video: Merry Christmas from Miss Piggy and Rizzo

    Thanks for posting this. And yeah, merry Christmas to Mrs. Cratchit, who should be ooohing Charles Dickens instead of the frog for her part being the size it was and the cheap wardrobe.
