CC Kermit and Mahna Mahna Snowths are being released at the end of this year, but i think Gonzo and Miss Piggy have a 2027 Q1 release date

NECA just posted that they will be at D23 & in the description they did mention sneak peeks at upcoming figures & more. I wonder if we might see a new Muppet figure there although i'd be happy seeing what Piggy's alt head looks like or even the box art.

Here's a link to the FB post. I hope we see some more Muppet figures, maybe even have some go up for sale.

Oh wow they look great. I like that they have the texture, makes them look the puppets used in Manhattan & the photo puppets. & now we are three for three of NECA announcing things Palisades never got to.

Animal definitely leans towards the puppet/poser look and color. Rowlf looks to as well based on the head and ear shape. Piggy's coloring is 100% cartoon, but of course the pic is too blurry to see the sculpt. Hopefully we see more detailed pictures of all of them soon.

Just realized there us a video that shows them all. These look like a hybrid if the puppets are cartoon. Gonzo is 100% cartoon as is Piggy. Fozzie's eyes are cartoon, but passes for puppet. They have the kin and fur texturing of puppets though, which is nice. Over all decent sculpts, but I think they can tweak some still, especially Kermit, and I hope Animal isn't always looking down.

So... TMTM/Cartoon Muppet Babies core six of Baby Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rowlf, and Animal? That's everybody needed to stage the musical number of "I'm Gonna Always Love You" from TMTM, but we're missing Baby Scooter for the musical number "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" from MFC.

And it's not that Palisades never got to making the MB figures, they were part of the last prototypes that got sculpted but never went up for sale. And now I'm waiting to hear if NECA will make Baby Scooter and Skeeter and Summer Penguin, and more importantly grown-up versions of the latter two.

No Baby Scooter & Skeeter have been shown aswell so it’s the core lineup from the cartoon but they’ve added the textures & details like the other figures rather than making them look animated with outline detail like NECA has done in the past with cartoon figures
