Still not sure I'll buy Blue Bird either. The completist in me wants to say "yes", but the practical side in me knows it'll take another three month wait for the figure to go from pre-order to here at my home as a second almost $90 purchase when I've got Mahna Mahna and Snowths on the docket as well. Then again, because of that time, I don't really have to make the decision right now, I can hold off until 2027 when more figures are available and get added to my overall collection.

If you want it I wouldn't sleep on Blue Big Bird. It's a Comic Con exclusive so quantities are limited and once it is gone it is gone, though sometimes they do the whole "vault" thing when they find excess stock or get returns. It also shouldn't take months to ship as they are already in stock, even if it says "pre-order".

Sounds good MWoO. Personally, I'm falling more into the "Skip" camp since the overall display wouldn't suffer too much if I don't buy him. Sure, he could be just as easily into the overall display as well, but I'm thinking of saving the amount of money it would cost for the Mahna Mahna 3-pack instead. Plus I also have the Fraggle figures to buy and add as well. And I'm waiting for Oscar's release to see if I can get the letter T and box from someone here since I already have my Palisades version.

As pretty as it was, I had just spent $70 on Big Bird to spend more on … another Big Bird. I’m more inclined to spend less money on a Grover or Oscar repaint.
