NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

[MWoO]

What's a "Haulathon"?

It's a promotion Target runs where various companies put up Target exclusives or figures that Target gets to sell first before other retailers.

Interesting how NECA is doing fur sculpts vs. Palisades. That Big Bird is way more articulated than I thought it would be, though I'll have his right arm hugging his body permanently. I love that they included the season 1 head when they could have easily made that an exclusive. Also, if they are this far along with Big Bird I hope we get a Follow that Bird blue variant this summer, even if it's before the regular release.

I really want to see more of Oscar. I assume he will have detachable arms and you can pull the body up. The dream would be if he had feet that attach to the bottom of the can too like Palisades had planned. Oscar was my most wanted figure from that canceked line.

Seems the Sesame line is somewhat popular and getting attention. I hope we see releases coming fast after this initial year.

Here's a video walk-through with some more details:

 

[The Count]

Thanks for posting the video. I'd expect some sort of dumbbells accessory for Herry, and it'd be an articulated unibrow similar to Animal's cause Herry has a unibrow like .

Interesting that every figure will have a pack-in buddy. Bernice the Pigeon with Bert, Rubber Duckie with Ernie, a Muppet bat that could be taken as Lyuba with The Count, Slimey the Worm and Grubby Duckie with Oscar, Radar with Big Bird, and Hercules with Herry.

Though I'm not a big fan of extra heads/hands as accessories, I'm really excited for this line and where it goes forward.

 

[Blue Weirdo]

I just got the Count figure today and noticed he does not include the bat. Looking at other in hand pics and videos online I don't see anyone with it. I messaged NECA to ask about it but they haven't responded yet. Sucks if it got dropped, would've been better to drop the phone -that should come with the Yip Yips. ("Brrrrrrrrringggg!")

 

[The Count]

Yes, NECA or others have mentioned that the figure of wouldn't come with Lyuba as a pack-in. I'd prefer to have it included as well since every other figure has a buddy pack-in and would have dropped the Muppet number 2 if this release is labeled as part of "Volume 1", but I'm still definitely thinking of purchasing the figure anyway.

To that point, where are the pre-orders for NECA's The Count at since I've been waiting diligently at this thread for the pertinent Mupdate?
