    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    Yeah, you are right! Not quite at $125, but definitely discounted a bit. I’ll setup watches on Big Bird and Super Grover. Thanks!

    NECA - General Thread

    I’m in for McDonald Land and Duck Tales! I second the sentiment for Darkwing Duck to follow. I need them now!

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    Totally agree. I expected the heavy hitters, but I was hoping NECA would show something new for us Palisades fans, and they delivered!

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    I have Scrooge and Pinocchio at deep discount as well, but I’ve yet to see the Super Size Sesame Street figures be discounted in the same way. I don’t think they are producing as many as they used to. Not that I’m advocating paying full price for them since, as with all Super 7 product, they...

    Mattel DC Figures

    So, I'm not an articulation junky, not that I don't want my figures to be dynamic, but I'm not looking around for missing joints. What I do see are aesthetics that are so much more appealing to me than the majority of what McFarlane has produced. That Superman figure (I'm assuming the armor...

    Mattel DC Figures

    My Legion shelf (and adjacent). Seemed timely to the discussion... They aren’t my favorite team, but the Mattel box set was awesome, the animated series was fun, and there are definitely more characters I’d like to see covered. Dawnstar was a purchase, not my work. Sent from my iPad using...

    Mattel x TMNT.

    This is my recollection of events (with some Googled dates): The Superman vs. Muhammad Ali direct release in 2016 was intended to be the first of many DC two-packs from NECA. The Alien/Predator releases were shown around the same time and intended as the next releases. That plan was quickly...

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    I was responding to @fac’s thought on NECA doing these, sorry if my phrasing was unclear.

    Star Trek

    A TOS bridge has been the holy grail for me since Playmates showed their unreleased version 30 years ago. I have no idea where I'm going to put this, but I'm so in. However, my enthusiasm is dampened by the fact that Paramount has decided to go after third party companies producing similar...

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    If not for the blind box crap, I would have already ordered them. I’d love to see international characters from NECA, but, regardless of price, I don’t know where I’d put a bunch of Big Birds.

    Super 7 Flocked Big Bird, 50% off, if anyone is interested. Can’t speak for the reliability of the retailer, this is my first order with them. https://www.boxlunch.com/product/super7-sesame-street-reaction-fuzzy-big-bird-figure---boxlunch-exclusive/34592374.html

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    I have mine displayed in my kitchen, so isn’t impacting my display space. It was the only playset I didn’t buy when the line was originally out and one of the first things I bought when I moved into my current home (back when prices on eBay were still reasonable),

    Mattel DC Figures

    I don’t remember if there was more to the story, but it resulted in Johns designing this thing, named after Neitlich: https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure?action=actionfigure&id=31051

    Mattel DC Figures

    I’m also a huge Green Lantern fan, so it worked out for me (in the short-term) and I bought it all, but I’m not going to disagree that they went too far and the movie flopping definitely did not help. Sadly, by the time the animated series came out, no one wanted to have anything to do with...

    Mattel DC Figures

    Thanks, I appreciate the insight. It was mainly a question of curiosity, it was so long ago and Neitlich is long gone, so it doesn't really matter at this point. I know corporations tend to repeat the same mistakes over and over, but hopefully they've learned enough since then to not to let...

    Mattel DC Figures

    Is the ending of DCUC due to Rainbiw Lanterns and/ Super Powers figures a factual thing, or assumptions? My assumption was DCUC line ended because DC/WB decided New 52 only and wanted products to mirror this shift. The New 52 launched September 2011, DCUC ended 2012 and DCD drastically...

    Super Powers

    Hey, no issues. I figured that is what was going on. I just used the "Insert Image" button with your URLs, the ones specifically pointing to an image. Some of your URLs were pointing to the image host page rather than the image itself.

    Super Powers

    Hey, @The Batman Professor, not sure why you keep posting pics to the thread and then deleting them, but they are cool pics! FYI, everytime you post, anyone who watches by email receives a notification with the content.

    DC MEZCO 5 Points

    FYI... Mezco's policy is to only charge for preorders up to 20 business days prior to shipping, unless you are using PayPal, where you are basically paying upfront. This would be a big red flag from me. Make sure they don't try to charge you again when the product does release...

    Mattel DC Figures

    DCD already existed when Mattel got the license and WB was likely motivated to keep DCD going. Mattel may have also been competing with Hasbro at the point (assuming they didn’t already jump ship to Marvel), so the WB may have had more leverage. Yeah, the NECA thing was weird, we got the...

    Mattel DC Figures

    Look at the bigger picture... Let's assume WB (they handle the licensing) wants as much money for the license as they can get. In that case, their options are Mattel and who else? Hasbro is unlikely to want to piss off Disney by acquiring a product that competes directly with Marvel (assuming...

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    The BBTS listing says “…over 10 inches tall.”

    Mattel DC Figures

    If this was a done deal, Todd probably would have already said so. Instead comments from him have included that they are negotiating and that they have the license until the end of the year. None of us knows anything about how the DCD brand works with the overall license that McFarlane has...

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    Snuffleupagus is a must, the problem is he is as tall and as deep as Big Bird. Maybe they can do him in two half’s like the actual puppet, Snuffy BAF. 😀

    Muppets (including The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock)

    NECA's done other 10-inch figures as deluxes (TMNT Cartoon Chrome Dome comes to mind - AI lists a few others), not at quarter scale pricing. Of course, that was before tariffs, so who knows...
