    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Having Bert and Ernie release at the same time makes good business sense. I didn't get why Palisades was going to separate them. If you sell one, you'll sell the other at the same time. I'd bet the Martians are a two pack. Based on these, I wish NECA had the Muppet license as well. I'd love...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    Assuming that's what the card said. It's hard to make out the last digit of the year. However, we've seen toy companies do fairly quick turn around when they need to. NECA, for example, didn't even show their "Tree Pusher Earl" variant until it was already I On Target shelves. They had the...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    I didn't mean to come off as if one line was better than the other, but ReActionnfigures are for people who like the retro look with 5 points of articulation. I've just never been a fan of that style. The Ghostbusters figures with the diorama pieces was done by Diamon Select. NECA is...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    IMO, there us zero comparison between Super7's ReAction line and NECAs Ultimate line. The ReAction figures are $20 a piece and are done in a 70's/80's retro style with very basic articulation and simplified sculpt. They are OK for what they are if you like that style, but the price is steep for...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    There is also a Toony Terrors line that was shown a week or two ago. They showed Bert and Ernie via pictures online. At the show they had those figures as well and showed off Oscar in the Toony Terror style. Also, it looks like the card for Ernie says Q3 2024. I hope that is true and we don't...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    https://toynewsi.com/139-53856 I just saw pictures of full articulated, puppet accurate, full textured and painted, Sesame Street action figures!!! These look like what Palisades tried to give us 20 years ago! Finally, a company is making a long standing dream come true. The accessories look...

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    Flange Doozer was released as it's own single release, not part of a "wave". He is in the classic Doozer. Wave 1 has Cotterpin and the Architect in the modern style with the brighter colors and safety vest.

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    Red, Gobo, and Matt are the same design in the new show and the old show so I suppose the figures are technically both. Of the main cast, only Mokey has a different design in the new show which her figure will reflect. A classic version is said to be planned as well. As for the Doozers, the...

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    I just got them in hand myself, and having open Red and Traveling Matt I can say these look and feel very much like an upgraded Palisades figure. The proportions are spot on, the likeness are practically perfect, the accessories are a good amount and fit the characters. The fleece texture is a...

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    Sprocket is not out yet, but I imagine it wouldn't scale with them either. The Super7 Sesame figures are an entirely different style of figure.

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    A picture of Gobo has been posted, showing how he scales with the Diamond Select Kermit and Fozzie. As expected, these won't work with that line. However, they do seem to be in scale with the Palisades line for those that want a Muppet Family Christmas display. Also, there are reports of...

    NECA to make Jim Henson's Dinosaurs action figures

    In case people are interested, two reveals for this line were posted. First we have Tree Pusher Earl - https://www.toyark.com/2024/06/23/dinosaurs-ultimate-earl-sinclair-wesayso-figure-by-neca-535416 Currently at Target, but should hit other retailers in a few months. And next is Captain...

    People complaining about Matt Vogel replacing Steve Whitmire as Kermit the Frog

    I'd say Eric's Oscar sounds like Oscar with a cold in the same way Matt's Big Bird sounds like he has a cold. It's like they are speaking, but they can't get too lound. I do think both are good, though. Probably as good a recast as we could get.

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    It seems to be taking forever for these figures to actually show up. They were due out months ago.

    Muppets Shouldn't Curse

    I can assure you that Grover never cursed on Sesame Street. There was an episode where he said a word that you can interpret as a curse, but it's not.

    Sesame Street Figures from Super7

    I'm not a ReAction fan, but these look good. I'd love to see an Ultimates line if they leaned more towards the puppet look with various textures instead of the cartoon look that ReAction has. We have Boss Fight giving us Fraggle figures, finally fulfilling that long empty hole left after...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Main characters sell to the general consumer. During the Ask DST segment, they were asked if they would be releasing Animal again. Animal has been released several times over the years, but keeps selling out. Meanwhile, Deadly and Pepe pre-sales haven't been great, according to the same video...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Sweetums looks great so far. Zach says the prototype is 9 inches tall which is only about and inch to an inch and a half shorter than the Palisades figure. That makes this pretty spot on in terms of scale. They also spoke about Deadly and Pepe sales not being strong. I think it's time for...

    NECA to make Jim Henson's Dinosaurs action figures

    I'm surprised at the lack of interest in the announcement a year and a half ago, but the figures are out now. MWCToys has a review up http://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW-121323a.htm I have both and they are truly spectacular.
