NECA's Ultimate Muppet Action Figures

[Random numbers]

I’m not a collector or anything but I do have a question, is Palisades Scooter oversized or am I confused about Muppet scaling?

I think Scooter is the correct size in both the Diamond Select and Palisades lines.

Bobo looks great in the photos! May have to pick him up eventually. Which color tie did you get for him?

Kenny is supposed to keep making new characters. I think they are definitely worth checking out at some point. I picked black and magenta ties for Bobo. I prefer him without the tie, though.

The scale of the characters jumps about a bit. For example the 1979 style guide has Fozzie nearly towering over everyone but by 1993 he's been shrunk down quite a bit.

Does Bobo come with two neckties then?

Yes. I was able to pick the two colors I wanted.

Thanks. Do you know if he is made well enough so that he should last 30 or so years?

They are 3d printed, and 3d printing plastic is pretty fragile. If he's just sitting on a shelf, he should be fine. I don't think that type of plastic will start to breakdown within 30 years. If you're planning a lot of moves over the next 30 years, I don't know how well he'd hold up for a ton of packing and shipping. Fortunately, Bobo doesn't have a lot of pieces that would easily break off.

I would like to make custom Palisades/NECA-scale figures of Ma Bear, Mildred, Hilda, Zelda Rose, Miss Mousey, Nigel, Bobby Benson, and Louis Kazagger. How likely do y'all think it is that NECA makes figures of any of these characters in the near future?

Near future? Who knows. The Shadow does!

But seriously, if you want to make your figures (and you can actually make them) then go for it. You can always replace them later with official releases if they actually do get released.

Thanks! Not planning to move much, but if i did would be very careful with Bobo. Sounds like you would recommend the seller. Have you communicated a lot with him?

No problem. I highly recommend Kenny Durkin. I don't know him personally, but from my several conversations with him online, he seems like a good person who's really interested in contributing to the Muppets fan community. I bet he'd answer any questions you have about the items he's selling or special requests. I definitely think it's worth checking out his stuff.

EDIT: He even created YouTube videos to demonstrate how to paint the figures, for the people who bought the unpainted options.
