Was there an expected date for Mahna Mahna and the Snowths? I believe Gonzo and Camila are Q4 2026 and Piggy and FoFo are Q1 2027, right? Should we assume Mahna Mahna and the Snowths will be Q2 2027 or later? It's funny because they seem the most final sculpt-wise, but they don't really make...

Oh man, given how tough it was to get the Count last year, I hope it's not an exclusive. Although, it is a variant, so maybe? On IG, Veebs pointed out that the coat rack in the NECA Muppets display has a hint towards future releases. It's a top hat and Christmas wreath. I'm thinking Christmas...

In this video, Trevor said Duck Tales is the start of the afternoon cartoon figures. It sounded like Tailspin could be coming at some point. Between these, McDonald's, and the Sesame Street and Muppets lines, NECA will be getting lots of my money in 2026 and 2027 (and hopefully beyond).

Trevor talks about the Sesame Street and Muppets lines starting around 6 and 9 minutes into the below video, respectively. Super Grover will go up for sale at Haulathon in a couple weeks, like folks speculated. The Muppet food is supposed to be pack ins.

Woah, very cool and interesting that Mahna Mahna and the Snowths are being shown first along with a Miss Piggy. I think those 4 figures are ones Palisades collectors will be happy with. I do hope they make some big revisions to Miss Piggy, though. Preternia also showed the NECA Sesame Street...

I hate to admit to myself how much those McDonald's commercials infected my brain as a kid, but my excitement for this announcement has shown me just how lasting that effect is. Interesting that they don't mention Ronald in the list of characters. I'm not sure when he was dropped. Was it during...

When can we expect to first see new reveals from Toy Fair tomorrow? Are there booth tours like at conventions? I'm so eager to see the new NECA figures. Maybe they'll be other cool Muppets merch too, since the special just came out. If you haven't already, watch it like 10 times on Disney+.

I'm intrigued by the Visionaries announcement. I wonder if they'll be Ultimates, ReAction, or ReAction+. ReAction+ would match the original toys. I also wonder how they'll handle the holograms. I thought I read somewhere that toys don't have them now because holograms are too expensive to do. I...

Ken Lilly recently had a IG post about how he wished he included more pack in Muppets in the Palisades line. I think the ones they included were great additions, like the Javas and food. I agree with you. I hope/expect NECA to include some pack in Muppets, plus improved articulation and extra...

I think I get what you mean by looking too polished. Overall, I loved the special and really hope it leads to a full series. I think it did an excellent job of capturing the spirit of the original show with the right amount of modernization. My main complaint is that there was an over-reliance...

I think the DST Piggy figure is pretty spot on. The Palisades Pigs in Space is good, too, except her hair is too brown. That said, I'm excited to see what NECA makes and hopeful it will be the best version so far.

Is that true for most of NECA's lines? Is their Sesame Street line exceptionally slow, or is that the norm for them?

NECA's post is back up, with a slightly different message to announce their Muppet figures. I am really excited for this line and very curious how it will go. Will wave 2 be Piggy, Rowlf, and Animal to knock out the big six? Maybe they'll include a less well know but wanted character like Bean...

The early series of the Palisades figures really are lacking in articulation, which unfortunately includes most of the main Muppets. It will be nice to have updated versions of those characters. I remain partial to the Palisades line becausr I don't see any way the NECA line could get as deep...

Agreed. Having Scooter isolated next to Ernie really shows the difference in body size beyond just height. So far, the difference between the lines hasn't been enough for it to bother me. I just hope the new NECA Muppets don't look too wonky next to the Palisades figures, and the future Sesame...

I added some more comparison photos to the end of this album and noticed a few things. First, I now agree with you that the NECA figures do seem to be about half an inch taller than I would expect for the characters. In the full display, I don't notice enough for it to bother me, at least so far...

Wow! This is great news! I would love updated figures of Kermit, Piggy, Rowlf, Fozzie, Animal, Gonzo, Bunsen, and Beaker for the Palisades collection. Could this mean NECA will continue the DST line?!?!? That's not totally unrealistic, right? Whatever their plans, I am so pumped! Hmmm, I may...

I initially thought they were a little too tall, also. After putting them on display with my Palisades figures, I now think they scale pretty perfectly. Ernie is slightly taller than Scooter and shorter than most of the other Muppets, which feels about right to me. Bert and Count are also taller...

The solicitation states Big Bird is over 10 inches tall. The Palisades Sweetums is 10.25 inches. I'm hoping Big Bird is at least a little taller than Sweetums, but I'm fine if they're similar height (which it seems is the case). I'm happy with the scale in the photo.

Someone on FB speculated that the unannounced figure could come out at Target's Haulathon in March. This seems like a fair guess to me because it helps explain the long delay between Count and Big Bird releases. Maybe NECA was producing the next figure to be ready for March. NECA could reveal...

Big Bird is available for pre-order on the NECA site. It's $59 plus shipping, which is less than I expected. Do folks think it will show up on bbts and ee, too?

In his interview with Veebs a little while ago, Trevor said Oscar would be coming out later in 2026. He also said that a previously unannounced character is coming after Big Bird. Since he mentioned Sesame Workshop wanting more characters to be represented in the accessories pack, I'm guessing...

The Instagram posts says, "Coming to theNECAStore.com and your favorite NECA retailers on 1/21", which makes me think the figure will be available to purchase on Wednesday.

And definitely don't blame the people who started the fire or fanned the flames.

Thanks for the name correction. I'm not sure why Oxblood is often selected from the many big guys Popeye boxed, but it seems like he's usually the pick for merch. Personally, I think Kid Mustard is a more interesting character because of the whole spinach eating thing. I agree the line will...
