If this purchase goes through (fingers crossed!), I wonder how the Disney license will work. I don't think it was included in the Alliance purchase. Maybe it will need to be renegotiated. Having DST continue their Muppets line, including the figures already solicited, plus NECA making updated Muppet figures in the Palisades scale would be absolutely amazing! I really hope more Muppet figures get made this year, although I'm not sure what the tariff stupidity means for any new figures.
I really want the DST line to continue for at least a while more, but I'd buy NECA Muppet figures, too. In addition to the five new characters DST has already solicited, I'd love for them to make the Newsman, Link Hogthrob, Dr Strangepork, Beauregard, Pops, Bobo, and Walter. If NECA makes more Palisades-scale Muppets, I'd love for them to make updates for Kermit, Piggy, and Bunsen, plus Sal, Bobo, Louis Kazagger, Nigel, and Walter.
