[Blue Weirdo]

And also at Entertainment Earth:

Pricing is crazy. From NECA, he’s $49.99

That is a thing BBTS often charges a slightly higher price than ordering directly from NECA but the much cheaper $6 flat rate shipping makes up for it especially if you combine it with the Pile of Loot and get several items shipped together.

Conversely Entertainment Earth sometimes (like here with Kermit/Bob) charges less but then shipping brings the price back up unless you order enough to get the total over $79 and then it's free shipping. Usually I can't find enough at once to get it there, but this time I did by pre-ordering The Xmas set along with Oscar and Big Bird (who is also $10 cheaper from them) Cool part is even though Big Bird will arrive and ship separate months earlier as long as it's all ordered together it all ships free no matter how many separate packages ship.

While that would be amazing, i don't see it happening although i'd love to be proven wrong cause getting a regular Kermit out first would make sense but i still think they're tinkering away on those figures, however the IG post is still up. I think it was removed the first time around cause someone posted it too early but the second version of the post is still there.

I have been wondering however if we might see these figures again at D23 & maybe there we might see something new. I wouldn't put it past Disney to tell them not to reveal anything at Comic Con because their con is a few weeks after

Good point about D23. I totally forgot about it. Are there D23 exclusives? Is there any chance the next NECA Sesame Street figure (volume 6, potentially Elmo) could be sold there? That lines up a little bit better with the "couple of weeks" Trevor said in Veebs' video on when volume 6 questions may be answered. With Sesame Street characters showing up at the World Cup halftime show with Muppet Show characters, I wonder if Disney has some deal with Children's Workshop. Now I'm hoping all three figures come out in mid-August instead of this fall.
