That is bad news. For the sake of the employees and the dozen of additional Muppet figures I want them to make, I hope this bankruptcy and potential acquisition process goes smoothly and quickly. I'm not sure if those folks will continue working and products will continue being produced for the...

https://www.youtube.com/live/uLUFnN9CQ7g?si=vrNog7-GxjgS9hdv In this recent YouTube, Zach talks a lot about their Muppets figures. It sounds like Deadly and Pepe are now supposed to ship in February, and Lips and Lew Zealand will go up for pre-order in March or April. I'm not excited about the...

Thanks for putting together this list of potential figures. I think my guess about Beauregard and Pops being next is likely incorrect. I made that guess because Zach Oat mentioned those two characters during a couple of YouTube interviews, which made me think they were next. More recently over...

A lot of exciting info and discussion in the interview. It's good to know the NECA team are paying close attention to the details of the puppets to make the figures as accurate as possible. Trevor mentioned that the original line up included several blue furry characters in a row in wave 2 or...

In case you haven't already heard, be careful moving the joints on these figures. They are fragile. I suggest soaking them in really hot water for a few minutes before trying to move them. I agree Gobo's eyes are a little too big. As long as I'm not comparing the figure directly with an image of...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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!

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...

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. 😂

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...

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...

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...

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...
