NECA's Ultimate Muppet Action Figures

[MWoO]

I'm surprised they are going with the actual Muppet Show designs, including the heads. That Piggy is a proper ugly early season Piggy. Same with Gonzo. There is a little sign in the back that says pending approval so I guess we will see what Disney changes.

Mahna Mahna and Snowths 3-pack for Q4 this year? Ha, instant birthday/Christmas winner! That's probably the reason for the wreath in the background. The top hat might be there as an added New Year's decoration as well.

I kind of wish Gonzo had gotten his 1980s gray sweater instead of the tux, but maybe we'll get a variant down the line if things go well.

That's the Gonzo i'm hoping to see as well.

Actually, I found that I need to replace my Palisades S5 signature classic Great Gonzo figure so this one from NECA would do well.

I prefer that look too, but maybe NECA has to specifically stick with classic TMS looks for the moment.

Gonzo comes with a Tire and Brick, in addition to Camilla.
Fruits & Veggies will come with figures that have fewer accessories.

Based on that video, I'm pretty much getting all three 2-packs mentioned for one reason or another. Piggy and Foo-Foo to replace the Palisades S1 Piggy figure, Gonzo and Camilla because I'm not sure if my Palisades S5 Gonzo's left arm can be reattached, and Mahna Mahna and The Snowths to add new members to the theater's troop. Now it's a matter of waiting until they're available for purchase.

Also, it's not immediately clear, but you can hear someone talking about the Muppet figures in the background when the main interview talks about the Ben Cooper Jason Universe costume figure.

Funnily enough the guy talking in the background is from this video

That wreath & top hat are definitely Christmas Carol teases. They don't outright say yes but it's certainly being alluded to. Also Gonzo coming with a brick is interesting. The only brick act i can think of is Amy the Dancing Brick from It's a Very Merry. Did Gonzo do an act involving bricks on The Muppet Show that i'm forgetting about?

edit: Nevermind it'll be a reference to the Edgar Bergen episode where Gonzo wrestles a brick

No, you're right, the first thing I thought of when it was mentioned that Gonzo will have a brick accessory was Amy from It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. Considering the MCC teases and the fact that the line won't be ready until the end of the year makes it perfect for a subtle non-MCC Muppet Christmas nod like that.
