Has anyone else gotten any of the Sesame Street ReAction figures. Mine are one the way from BBTS. I saw a video of them and they looked really good. Looking forward to more!
@souled4 The set I ordered from bbts arrived last week. They are nice for what they are. I like them much more than the Muppet ReAction figures because they are much more on model. They look pretty decent next to my DST Muppet figures, just a little small and a little more brightly colored. Overall, I like them, and I'm excited for more waves.
Got a super rare variant Count in my mail today. The bubble is glued in the wrong place! eBay here I come! 😆
I HATE that orange Oscar is going to be in the blind box series. Guess I'll never get one. 😕
@captaincracker That really sucks, I would not have noticed a different assortment if you hadn't have said anything. Perhaps these will be sold separately as well? Or at least some sort of exclusives? Super7 dropped the ball on that, who wants to pay for a $20 blind box for figures that you can buy most of them separately?
Finally watched the Veebs/Boss Fight interview. Holy hell, how did Fraggle fans get so lucky? It sounds like they have big plans for the line, including a lot of the side and deep cut characters. I can't believe by summer we'll already have the main cast, albeit some in new show form. And in such great quality... judging by Veebs' early photos these are gorgeous, loaded with accessories and extra heads...
I can't help but look at Super7 with even more skepticism. These Fraggle figures are "Ultimate", and for $15 less, and the execution in materials, paint, articulation all seem to be way better, but of course I won't know for sure until they are in hand. It would be a dream if Boss Fight could get Sesame Street and do a line similar to this one.
I think this will be my main line to collect in 2024.
Zach will be interviewed tomorrow evening (7:30 ET, 2/7) on the Unboxing Art YouTube channel. Usually folks can ask questions, if anyone has anything they want to know about DST's Muppets line or other products.

On the Unboxing Art YouTube video, Zach said the next Muppet figure release would likely be in late March. He also said, on Mr. Alan and the World of Toys YouTube video from a few days ago, that the next Muppet release would be a two-pack of one new character and one reissue with one bigger and the other smaller.
My guess is it will be Sweetums with Robin. It would be cool if it's Crazy Harry for those that missed him in the original release. Though, I'm not sure how expensive a figure the size of Sweetums with another normal sized figure would be. Maybe the new figure isn't Sweetums? It could be Bobo or Big Mean Carl, since those are both larger and fairly popular characters. Sweetums and Robin makes the most sense to me.
I also saw on the BFS socials that their Fraggle figures will be shipping in the next couple of weeks! I'm so excited to finally get these!
I'm extremely excited about the Fraggles too. I've got a little Fraggle Rock diorama planned for them. I was always more into Fraggle Rock than the Muppets, so my Muppets select wish list isn't very long, but Sweetums is at the top of it so I hope he is announced.
@bills-all-day I'm not looking forward to another reissue that I have to buy to get a new figure, but if it's Sweetums with a little guy I'll be ok with it. I wonder if he'll come with Bean Bunny. At least that would make sense as a Muppet Vision 3D pack.
@captaincracker The only reissued figure I'd really like is the penguin. Can never have too many penguins! A smaller figure like Robin or Bean won't bother me at all, either. Since Bean was just included in the backstage boxset, I think he probably won't be reissued again in this new two-pack. I hadn't thought about the Muppets 3d connection between Bean and Sweetums, but I think Robin and Sweetums is a more common pairing. I wouldn’t be upset if Crazy Harry is the reissued figure because I think lots of people missed out on the initial release and the secondary market prices are really high.
Since I use duplicate figures as custom fodder, having new figures paired with reissues doesn't bother me. But, I could see how that is frustrating for others.
@bills-all-day Ooooh! I hadn't thought about a penguin. That would be the best possible reissue as far as I'm concerned!
