NECA's Ultimate Sesame Street Action Figures

[The Count]

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".

Fyi, Blue Bird is sold out again and I just got the notification that mine is shipping. Hopefully Ill have it by the end of the week.

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.

Is that a teaser for orange oscar??

 

[The Count]

Er, is what a teaser for Orange Oscar the Grouch? Sure hope not, that'd probably push Herry back further like into 2027 Target Haulathon territory and I'd really want to avoid that.


On a related note, worked today on getting everybody all on the same shelf, and it turned out vonderful! Though did give me a bit of suffering difficulty. The row now displays from left to right: Bert with A (NECA Volume 2); Horn & Hardart, The Two-Headed Monster with A (Palisades); Big Bird with blue B (NECA Volume 5); the brick wall that came with Palisades' Ernie with Radar, Rubber Duckie, and Bernice atop; Guy Smiley with B (Palisades); Oscar The Grouch and Slimey with C (Palisades); Ernie with D (Palisades); Super Grover with G and S (NECA Volume 4) and the Palisades phone booth behind him; and The Count with 2 (NECA Volume 3). It'll look even more awesome as I add Herry, Frazzle, Grover and Mr. Johnson, and Sherlock Hemlock throughout next year.
