Just so people know, this year's Haulathon is scheduled to start on Wednesday March 18 2026. Hope it won't be much longer after that when Super Grover goes up for sale on BBTS.

I was thinking about this today. As NECA has had to drop some accessories for cost (Big Bird's skates, Oscar's elephant trunks, etc), I wonder if that's the reason the letter G was shifted over to Super Grover (because it does appear to be the same G). Super Grover has relatively few accessories, and the Grover/Mr. Johnson pack was going to be loaded with them (hopefully still will be). So maybe we only get the letter N in the two-pack to save room for more waiter accessories.

Obviously, I have no idea if this is what is going on. Just something I was thinking about.

Totally legit thoughts anytimepally. Lemme remember what was said...
Grover's accessories: Banjo, waiter's towel.
Mr. Johnson's accessories: Tray, bowl of alphabet soup.

Doesn't sound super-packed, but it could have more stuff we don't know right now, and even if we only get a Muppet letter N in the 2-pack I'll still display it with Mr. Johnson as his and the G from Super Grover with regular Grover when all three are released and part of my overall collection.

Another thing, would we get any of the announced upcoming figures after :wisdom: but before :grouchy: this year? If not that's fine, guess we have to wait for Mupdates from the other two major 2026 conventions.

I think there was also a picture of Grover's Mommy, a hot dog & the alternative Mr Johnson head as well. I really hope we hear more news before SDCC but its not likely, I was watching a toy fair where Trevor did mention Herry, Sherlock Hemlock etc & it sounds like they are going into next year which is a shame if we are only going to get 3 Sesame figures a year

Eh, since I've planned out to purchase a different Muppet figure across all three family branches per month the fact that Herry, the Grover and Mr. Johnson pack, Frazzle, and Sherlock getting moved to 2027 releases is fine for me.

I hope they, at least, solicit another figure before the end of the year, if Super Grover, Big Bird, and Oscar are all that get released in 2026. Apparently, NECA doesn't participate in the summer or fall Haulathons, which suggests there won't be any surprise figures between Big Bird and Oscar. Is the Grover and Mr. Johnson two-pack supposed to come out this year? That would make for a decent annual release quantity, IMHO. I would be happy with 4-5 new figures every year.

At this point, I am curious if they'll show any new figures for the line at SDCC. With many of the figures shown still being a year or more away from release, NECA might be hesitant to show more figures scheduled even further out. Maybe new figures will start rolling out at a faster pace soon.
