I'm so excited! My guess is Big Bird will be $79. Do y'all think it will be more or less than that?

It better be less than that. My guess is $49.99.

NeCA posted more pics

And he looks so much better posed up with his accessories and the neck posed. This is a must buy and I hope that it releases fairly close to the preorder day.

Its on the NECA website.

Price is $59.99, so a bit more than I hoped.

I recommend waiting for it to appear on other retail sites, though. NeCA's shipping is pricey.

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 mentioned amongst the accessories in the NECA listing, but is included in others I read through earlier today. Also, were the roller skates cut for the possible accessory pack?

In other news... Thanks to PuppetSteve's youtube channel videos (and where was that video for the last three months?!) we now know that :wisdom: comes with the letter B; :grouchy: with the letter T; and yes, Herry Monster will come with the letter H. Only the mystery figure left to be revealed in late February, and whatever other figures down the line.

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, not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but if you list the figures released and announced for NECA's line we have one-third of Palisades proposed line. Plus Frazzle Monster. I'd like it if we got the rest of the line included, though NECA is under no obligation to do so, but it'd be a huge point of respect if they did.

The picture of Mr. Hooper and the roller skates were cut. Maybe we will see them in an accessory set or maybe in a potential nest playset, though no such playset has been talked about.

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.

Someone on FB suggested the unannounced figure could be available for purchase at Target's Haulathon in March. That makes sense to me. The figure could be shown at Toy Fair in February to build excitement before it's sold in March. That would also shorten the time between releases for the line by several months. Maybe Target didn't want the figure shown at earlier conventions? Having another figure ready to ship in March helps explain the long delay between releases. This is just speculation, though. There are many other reasons for the delay, and this Haulathon guess could be completely incorrect. It just sounded good to me, so I wanted to share.
