Haha! No. They're not $50. Why do people keep asking this? These figure units are $25 per pack. That was announced nearly a year ago and still hasn't changed. Getting 2 (and sometimes 3) figures plus accessories for $25 is a good price point, particularly for this property. That's less than what 2 Palisades figures cost at retailers 12 years ago.
How much were the Palisades figures?
Well the accessories are mixed for me
Kermit/Bean/Robin: The banjo & directors chair which the Palisades figure lack, also a stool & log for Bean & Robin respectfully.Why does Kermit come with a guitar? I understand a beret/clipboard. Just why is theirs a guitar?
Gonzo/Camila: I like how he comes with his bugle. Also I like how we're going to get a bag of popcorn, easel, & spotlight. Is their something to put on the easel? Also why is their a mug for Gonzo?
Fozzie/Scooter:I like theirs a clapper for Scooter which Palisades didn't include, Also I like how the megaphone is different too. Fozzie just palisades accessories that's all. Just needs a mic for Foz & Clipboard for Scoot.
Yeah, the Gonzo-mug thing was weird; Kermit should have it if anyone. Something tells me the mug was an accessory for a different figure in a different line, or maybe they just want you to buy the complete set. The empty easel is weird as well. Maybe just another already created Diamond accessory. If I really wanted to nitpick, the bag of popcorn is cool, but what does it have to do with Gonzo?
I think someone in the Palisades line came with a clapper.
Kermit's guitar is technically a bass, which makes it even weirder.
I think people have to remember that although technically these are Disney, it's not mass production like Bandai and Tomy who usually do Disney/Pixar action figures so its still more boutique collectors.
Yeah, so I don't think these are the type of figures we're going to see at Toys R Us or Target, just comic shops and specialty stores.
Id be assuming wave 2 would probably be Miss Piggy with Foofoo and maybe Rhonda rat or other smaller character, or a three pack with Andy and Randy, or just a 2 pack with Piggy and maybe Animal? I'm willing to put money on
wave 2 including Beaker and Bunsen with fun lab experiments.
But that leaves one more slot open for a two or three pack. So hoping it's some really obscure character!
Either way hoping collector buying interest and online hype can carry us to a wave 2!
Maybe Rizzo & Yolanda. On their Facebook page they are promoting the new show so the connection is there. I would almost rather see this be a line based on the new show rather than just Palisades 2.0. Like Piggy + Deadly would make sense for a pack.
I hope there's a Mahna Mahna figure (bundled with Snowths would even be better); he is in Minimates wave 2, so there is definitely hope there.
