Just watched a video walkthrough in the Sesame Street figures thread, my takeaway for this line.

We'll be getting the figures late this year/early next year with the MCC Exclusive Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim 2-pack in time for Christmas... And even better, the Mahna Mahna & Snowths 3-pack around the same time, great for a birthday/holiday gift even if it'll cost the same as :wisdom:.

The Miss Piggy and Gonzo 2-packs are mentioned to be released next year. And the awesome thing about Gonzo is that not only will he have interchangeable heads, but he'll also have interchangeable eyes!

Regular Kermit was seen at one point as well. Trevor stated that these are deco-sculpts in progress from the factory, that's what I expected and know that more finished sculpts will probably be ready to be shown off at the New York Toy Fair in late February 2027. Great stuff, can't wait to add more Muppets.

This is a great catch. Super baffling stuff. How are they showing this, but it isn't even in the official preorder listing that went up on the same day?
Probably the team packed it all up without knowing if it had been officially cut. Similar to Oscar having accessories shown previously that were cut.

The swappable eyes on Gonzo is pretty great. Similar to Wembley from Boss Fight. If they are going to be a separate part, might as well make them swappable.

Nothing really new, but someone at the show swapped the eyes and heads on Gonzo. I think they might actually look better with the different eyes and I love the closed mouth and wide eyes on Gonzo. Separates him more from the Palisades versions.

I saw that too & i totally agree the wider eyes look better on the closed mouth head. They might be still a bit too big but it looks more natural. Something else that was mentioned in Pixel Dan's walkthrough & i wondered it myself before but the picture in the portrait that Piggy has by her feet might be a cheeky tease of the regular Kermit.

Yeah, Trevor mentioned they had an infestation of rats at the theater. Someone had best be calling :oops: to keep the rats in line.
