    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    To me, Bert and Ernie look a little too tall. In other Instagram photos posted by Paul Harding, Bert is about the same height as the Palisades Link, and Ernie is about the same height as Fozzie. I think Link is the tallest Palisades figure, other than Sweetums. I'm not sure if Bert is one of the...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    I think Oscar makes a lot of sense, since he was shown as another figure in their Toony Terrors line with Bert and Ernie. I don't think they've shown the fourth figure for that line either. I'd be happy with any classic (pre-90s) character, but I'm hoping it's a monster. I really hope NECA is...

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

    At their NYCC panel last weekend, Diamond Select showed 3d renders of Lips and Lew Zealand. Overall, I think they look good, but I think the back of Lips' hair should be shrunk a little and Lew should be a little taller. I'm so excited to get these two! They also answered a question during...

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

    I agree. I think it's great that we have already heard about the next set that will go up for pre-order. That makes it seem like the line will continue along with continuous, although slow, releases. But, the long delay getting Pepe and Deadly is definitely killing the momentum for the line. I...

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

    On a recent YouTube interview, DSTZach said he thought Deadly and Pepe would be shipping in a couple months. I guess they were way off with their initial June availability date. He also said Lips and Lew are painted and may go up for pre-order when Deadly and Pepe start shipping, or the...

    NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

    I'm so excited for these! I wonder if they'll start showing up in stores before they arrive at online retailers in January. Guy Smiley would be a fun choice for the fourth figure. As long as they get to all 20ish characters I want, I don't care too much about order. It seems like a common...

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

    If Deadly and Pepe start shipping soon, which I really hope is the case, I think Lew Zealand and Lips could go up for pre-order before the end of the year. On a recent YouTube interview, Zach mentioned Beauregard and Pops as two other Muppets they are thinking about making. It's awesome we could...

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    Has anyone seen any updates on when wave 2 will ship or the status of a 3rd wave? Since wave 1 was delayed for so long, I assume wave 2 won't start shipping until early next year or later. But, maybe the issues that slowed down wave 1 have been fixed for wave 2? I really hope the figures are...

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

    I am so happy! Lips and Lew are the two Muppets I want most! I wonder when we'll see prototypes and/or promo photos. In another YouTube interview, Zach said that sculpts are done. Maybe we'll see them at NYCC in October. I'm so excited!

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

    On thefwoosh.com forum, DSTZach said he thinks they'll make a set of new Muppet figures after Sweetums and Robin. So, no variants yet. Who do folks want to see? I'm hoping for Lips and Lew Zealand, which I think could actually happen. Lips seems likely to me. I could see him being paired with...

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    I thought I saw somewhere that they were finally on the water from China a little bit ago. Hopefully, we get them soon. I forgot that these were originally supposed to arrive fall 2023. Maybe we'll get them by fall 2024. 😂

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

    Thanks for the reply. My question is really if the same pattern is true for variants of 'main' characters? Does a Kermit as Captain Smollet sell better than a Newsman? I guess it probably depends on the variant and character. Personally, I'm guessing MCC variants of main characters, or even the...

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

    Do variants generally sell better than new characters? Personally, I would love MCC figures and think there would be lots of interest in those. I don't know if Pigs in Space and Vets Hospital variants would be more or less popular than new characters. Someone on FB suggested DST make characters...

    Sesame Street Figures from Super7

    I haven't seen anything about wave 3 or any recent updates about wave 2, not even product photos. It seems like Super7 is in a bit of a slump lately. I wonder if that is impacting this line. The Yip Yips came in a two-pack for series 1. Is that what you're asking? I'm not aware of variants of...

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

    Awesome! They actually showed the prototypes of the figures during a live Q&A on YouTube last night. A screenshot is posted on the Muppet Merch section of the ToughPigs Discord. The more I look at the Sweetums figure, the more I like it. I'm curious how it will look once we can see additional...

    Fraggle Rock Action Figures!

    Sprocket seemed a little big to me. Is he bigger in the new show? Maybe I'm just remembering his size wrong. I'm exactly the same when it comes to Mokey. I was planning to just wait for an original version, but now I'm planning to get both and just think of the new one as a different character...

    Thanks for sharing the YouTube video! Veebs posted some size comparison photos on Instagram. The 7th photo below shows how well they match Palisades.

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

    On the Fwoosh.com forum, Zach said that Lew, Sweetums, Newsman, and Lips are on the 'sooner rather than later' list, which sounds great to me! I think DST may have another production run of the several of the Best Of packs in 2024 (ee and bbts show several packs are restocking in 2024), but I...

    There was an answer to a question about more Muppet figures on today's AskDST. "Graham T. I saw that Uncle Deadly and Pepe went up for pre-order on October 20th. That's great news! How soon can we expect to see the next Muppet figure two-pack after them? I hope y'all are planning many more...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    I should have clarified that these are all DST figures not Palisades. I don't have enough Palisades figures to even think about messing with them. Plus, they are in limited supply. It looks like many of the DST figures are included in another production run and available in June 2024, with the...
