NECA's Ultimate Muppet Action Figures

[The Count]

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 .

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.

I’ve been searching for this image since I saw it a few days ago & I’ve found it again. The rat behind the prototypes sign is 100% Rizzo. Obviously not finished yet but cool to see

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

I remember that figure from Toy Fair. I'm pretty sure that's just a retooled Palisades Rizzo figure.

With speculation that Elmo will be a fall Haulathon release, I have a wild speculation that Kermit and Fozzie will also be fall Haulathon releases. I'm making this guess based on NECA likely wanting the line to start with regular characters and not Christmas Carol variants, as well as the fact that NECA removed their IG post that had Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo's hands. I think they realized they couldn't show fall Haulathon figures in that post. Kermit and Fozzie are clearly two of the most popular characters and good starting point for the line, especially considering the Palisades figures could use updates.

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
