Mahna mahna is almost useless without the Snowths. PLEASE make them. Even if they’re packed with Mahna Mahna again.

@normdapito Since the Snowths could reuse Mahna Mahna's body and could share a head sculpt, they seem like a fairly easy addition for DST. Even though I have two extra Mahna Mahnas that I was planning to customize into Snowths, I would happily buy a three pack of the Snowths and Mahna Mahna. I agree they should be a packaged deal.

Like everyone else, I want new characters, but I would be more than excited to get a Pigs in Space or Veterinarian's Hospital set.  I'd also rebuy Mahna Mahna to get a pair of Snowths.

Snowths! Snowths!
Please I have been hoping for them since Mahna-Mahna was released years ago. So confused as to why they were not all released together since they are a package deal . I would think they would be an easy sell due to the popularity of the song/sketch. With a repackaged Mahna-Mahna they would even make great gifts to give to friends.

I'll pass along the Snowths requests. Next two after Sweetums are new characters, assuming we move forward with them. I believe we will.

Yes! That's great news! It's awesome to read that DST will likely be making new Muppet figures after Sweetums. Keeping my fingers crossed for Lew and Lips, but I can't think of a Muppet I wouldn't be happy to get. Maybe Dr. Phil Van Neuter.

In other great news this Friday afternoon, I received notifications from bbts that my Fraggle figure orders are processing.

@bills-all-day I was starting to think wave 1 would never arrive. Those were due to be out back in the fall.  I hope wave 2 is directly behind wave 1.

New characters are exciting! Lips n Lew just roll off the tongue. Here’s hoping. Newsman would be great. Team up with Walter? Beauregard? Reissue of Crazy Harry? Whatever it is I’m in. 

I’d buy variants too. I only got one Palisades figure Kermit as Indy. Love it. I’d get Ketmit as Captain from Treasure Island. Pigs in Space would be great.

Excited for more.

Thwipp!

@mwoo Yeah, I recently remembered that wave 1 was supposed to come out in fall 2023. I didn't realize just how delayed they are. Better late than never, I guess. I'm so excited to get these in hand! Personally, I'd prefer if wave 2 doesn't come out until this fall, since they are $40+ each,  and I ordered the full wave. I'm guessing the same factory issue that delayed wave 1 will also cause wave 2 to be delayed several months. We'll probably get them around this time next year. I guess we'll see. Is it too early to think about a wave 3? I'd love to get a classic Mokey.

@prophet I'm so excited to find out which Muppets DST will be making next because I'm pretty confident the next release will include at least one of Muppets at the top of my wishlist. Considering I thought the line was definitely done after Sam and Rizzo came out, I'm thrilled that getting figures of at least some of the 6 Muppets I want most is close to becoming a reality.

Entertainment Earth just charged me for the Lefty and Guy Smiley, and for the first time in a long time, I shipped my BBTS POL early to get the Fraggles ASAP.  It's been a Muppety day!  Now I wait...

I shipped my POL last week, so I obviously the Fraggles hit the other day.  I shipped them right away since I'm really eager to get them and I feel like they will probably be "processing" for the next week.

It's great to hear about another Sesame Street Reaction wave too.  I'm curious just how big Big Bird will be and how Mr Hooper will scale with the line.

Mister Hooper! That was a swerve I didn’t expect.

Didn’t know about the next wave of Sesame Street, that is awesome!  Thrilled to get Grover, and was really looking forward to seeing what they do with Bird Bird, but the fact that EE has him for same $20 price is concerning. I was really hoping Bird Bird and Snuffleupagus would be larger.

Yeah, an extremely undersized Big Bird doesn't do it for me. Flynn said wave 3 had something unique for ReAction figures. Maybe it's a massive figure for Big Bird.

I shipped my POL with the Fraggles. Hopefully, that means Deadly and Pepe pre-orders will be processing any day now. Though, I'll be happy to have some time to check out the Fraggle figures before getting my hands on the additional Muppets.

Anybody else get their Fraggles yet? Mine came in today and they are a bit of a QC mess with joints stuck from paint.

I worked for a half hour with heat trying to get Red's arm unstuck but the pins are so tiny and brittle that it finally snapped off.

Gobo's legs were almost as bad but I was able to get them unstuck. There is a small pile of paint chips though from the joints.

They look great but now I've got to see if BBTS will send me a replacement for Red.
