Would they do a classic Mokey so soon after making a modern Mokey? In consecutive assortments? Honestly, it's only the five main Fraggles I'm interested in.

@bills-all-day hopefully wave 2 is delayed because they are working on the QC issues.  As much as I enjoy them, I'm afraid to touch my wave 1 figures.  

There is a lot of good Muppet stuff coming from across the board, but it takes so long to actually get out there.

I think classic Mokey would be by far the next most wanted figure. I'm not sure how far they expect this line to go because, as you said is true for you, I expect most people will only be interested in the 5 main plus Matt and Sprocket. If the line only makes it one or two more waves, I expect classic Mokey to be a priority.

Other than classic Mokey, I'm not sure who else they would do. Maybe Jim Henson's characters, Cantus or Convincing John. Are there characters from Back to the Rock that get a lot of screen time? I wonder if they would do a Doc. That would be sweet! In the interview, Andrew mentioned Sprocket standing on two legs for scenes with Doc. So, maybe?

@mwoo I agree! I'm terrified to move my wave 1 Fraggle figures. Hopefully, wave 2 figures are sturdier. It seems like several companies have had production delays over the last year. It's both awesome and frustrating that we have so many new Muppet figures almost available to us! The fact that multiple lines and companies are experiencing delays makes me think the issues won't be fixed soon. I guess I can wait a LITTLE bit longer.

Edit: In case I forgot to mention, the Sprocket prototype Andrew showed in the video looked like it will scale well with the Fraggles. I think an earlier version looked too big. In the video, the Sprocket figure looked to be a little taller than Boober, which seemed about right to me.

I hope we get some kind of update about deadly and pepe before the new year.  But I am not holding my breath 

I wanna see a side by side of Deadly with the Palisades version, that's gonna be a Hard shoe to fill.

I have the Palisades and he is fantastic!

@nightwolf As one of the last figures in the Palisades line, I assume Deadly is pretty great. I don't have Palisades Deadly or Pepe, so I won't be able to compare with the DST figures (once they finally arrive). For the Palisades figures I do have, I think the ones in later waves are better than earlier waves, with more articulation and better likenesses.

I'm really curious about the sizes of DST Deadly and Pepe. I think they are listed at like an inch taller than I would expect, but the promo photos next to the ruler look better. @jkpopculture I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good shipping update before the end of the year, too. Also not holding my breath, either.

I agree the Palisades version is great. But the lighter blue on the diamond select version seems to be more accurate and more of my collection scales with it.

I'm less excited for Deadly than I am for Sweetums. He is too tall for my current display, so he might find his way into a separate display as a lost and confused Muppet.

@normdapito  that definitely fits for sweetums

At this point, I'm guessing we'll get Deadly and Pepe in January. My bbts order of Sweetums is still showing shipping February. Do folks think Sweetums will be delayed 7 months, too? Or, will the two sets come out close together, like a month or two apart?

I'm also guessing pre-orders for Lips and Lew Zealand will go up sometime after Deadly and Pepe start arriving. If Sweetums is still on track to arrive in February, I wonder if DST will wait to solicit Lips and Lew until then because customers will have more faith in getting those two figures when planned.

I feel like a lot of figures at Diamond are backed up. Thought Archangel and Annihilus would be out by now. 

Expect Pepe to be out of scale like Rizzo is. There is no helping that, unless they made him unarticulated.  He might fit into scale with the Palisades crew, though.  

The wait really is painful though. 

Hopefully Pepe and Deadly arrive around January, and Lips and Lew go up for pre-order at the same time. We're not holding back Lips and Lew per se, just finalizing approvals. Sweetums will probably not be February, but we'll see. 

@msword thanks for the update

I'm almost as excited to see the pre-order photos for Lew and Lips as I am to get Pepe and Deadly. Since Lips and Lew are two of my favorite Muppets, these two figures have been the top of my wishlist. I'm really eager to see some more photos because I have three nitpicky concerns based on the photos of the 3d renders shown at NYCC that I'm hopeful will be relieved when I see pictures of actual figures. 

1. Lew looked a little too short compared with Lips. I think Zach said the sizes might have been off when he added the photos to the NYCC slide.
2. The corners of Lew's mouth don't look right. They should curve up, almost like ears, but I didn't see that curve in the renders.
3. The back of Lips' hair looks too full or goes down a little too far. The front view looks great, though!

@Mwoo I'm expecting Pepe to be in scale with Rizzo, too. I wish Sam and Rizzo were about 10-20% smaller than they are. Bean has similar articulation to Rizzo at like half the size, so I think a smaller Rizzo would have been possible. Oh well, as long as Rizzo isn't displayed next to Gonzo, I don't think the scale is too much of an issue.

@MSWord Thanks for the update! I can hardly wait for those those three things to happen! Hopefully, y'all have more figures in the pipeline, too.
