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

I'd keep an eye on Amazon, if they stock them. These things take up a ton of space and I think they get to a point where they just want them out. I did get Mickey for real cheap from BBTS, but I think that was related to Super7 having to unload unsold stock for dirt cheap because of the license expiration.

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

Preternia also showed the NECA Sesame Street figures. Is Super Grover the unannounced figure?

Yes, and a “Haulathon exclusive” per Trevor, but he is saying that about a lot of items that are generally just first to market rather than exclusive, so I’m really hoping he is just using the wrong term here…

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 Carol!

 
Piggy looks pretty-good. Something is a bit off to me. Maybe the closed mouth?

Super7 showed off the latest reAction Sesame Street figures - pajama count bert ernie and a typewriter
 
I’m all over that ReAction typewriter. Noo-nunu-nunu…

Loving the Muppet Show figures. Piggy looks just like the earliest appearances/seasons. Mahna Mahna and the Snowths are a great lower tier but super popular choice. Gonzo is just too similar to the Palisades version.

Same with Super Grover. I guess I’ll redress my Palisades version into the Grover Kent disguise which I’ve never actually used. Hope I can find it! Wish they hadn’t gone with that version since it’s been done by Palisades. Why not the Waiter? Oscar looks good, but I feel like his fur is sculpted in pieces that are too small? They’re not quite nailing it.

Can’t post the pic directly, but if you go here, there’s SOMEONE holding up the Prototypes Shown sign.
Looks like Rizzo. 👀

The outfit doesn't look like Rizzo but I don't know who else it would be

I saw a non-shareable image on Blue Sky of a Super7 Super Size Oscar the Grouch for $350. A friendly piece of advice for anyone interested in it, I have 3 of the Super Size Disney figures and the most I paid was $125.

So I've been waiting for the Super Size Grover to be available for a reduced price like that, bit so far no luck. My wife is a huge Grover fan and I'd love to get it for her but she would kill me spending three bills on something like that.

Interesting that the NECA Super Grover might be available at retail before basic Grover who was shown at SDCC last year. My wife likes regular Grover a little more than Super Grover, so thats the one I'm eager for. Still, I'll buy it.
 
So what’re the odds we see one or two more reveals (for either Muppets or Sesame Street) this weekend? Surely this can’t be all they’re showing.

I have to imagine they have a Kermit there to show.

This isn't a public event. This is an industry event for retail buyers to see what companies have planned, so they can get interest and orders placed. The only reason WE see any of it is because they started letting press attend and with the internet we now know the same day what's being shown, which helps drum up interest, which could help sell products to the retail buyers.
They aren't going to "hold stuff back" for an event like this. It IS possible there was more shown behind closed doors, where photography wasn't allowed. Some companies do that, especially if it's for something like a new movie that may have spoiler material in it.
 
Despite that, they have held back stuff at Toy Fair in year's past. I remember one press individual on social media getting cranky about it because it meant he had to go back to their booth the next day. However, I didn't hear Trevor or Blaine mention anything else going out so maybe they got more feedback like that and decided to only play that game at SDCC. The amount of stuff on display feels like a fairly typical amount for NECA and it does feel like it's focused on the stuff they have to sell to retail while also tossing the TMNT crowd a few bones (a lot of that stuff is already sold to Target so it's not like they have to show it).
