@bills-all-day thanks, I'm very happy to hear that.  I didn't plan on buying this version either way, but it's nice to know that the core Fraggles will one day be complete on my shelf.

Again, the extra heads are incredible and really bring these to life. Excited for the S1 release to see how they look and feel in hand. Also excited that we're filling out the cast pretty fast.

Zach was on Unboxing Art's YouTube stream last night and talked about DST's Muppets figures. Not a lot of new info, but he shared some interesting insights about the Muppets line and other Henson properties. I noted specific times below.

20min - Uncle Deadly and Pepe and future of the line

40min - rereleases and Backstage boxset

1hr 20min - general info about the line and a spectacular Lew Zealand impression by Zach

I got my Flange Doozer today.  First of all, it looks great and I'm very happy with it, but for the price, I would have really liked elbow and maybe waist articulation.  Otherwise, I think it's great and if it gets reduced in the future, I plan on getting one or two more.

How tall is the Doozer?

From VeeBee's July first look.

BFS is going to do other Doozers in scale with the Fraggles, but the first 3 are larger to get the most of an actual figure out of them.

So those Doozers are close to 1:1 scale! Maybe a little bigger?

I really would love to support this line, but I think it may be out of budget. $40 a pop is a big ask.

@normdapito I looked it up and they are 6" tall so these are much smaller at about 2.5".  The figures are expensive, but with retail figures constantly going up or releasing "deluxe" figures for ridiculously inflated prices, I'm fine paying $40 for these from a small company.

I hope the Fraggles are closer to DST Zoot than Palisades Lew (2nd photo). I also hope DST makes a Lew!

Edit: For some reason the second picture with the Palisades Lew isn't showing up here. It shows up if you click on the photo link.

BigBadToyStore lists all the Fraggles as 5in, so more in line with Fozzie-ish. It's probably an unpopular opinion but I don't mind the scale issues as long as Fraggles are bigger than Doozers and Gorgs are bigger still! 😆 

Edit: Actually Sam is closer to 5in isn't he?

I just received a pre-order processing email from BBTS for the Muppets Backstage boxset. I hope we see some product images before my order processes. I want the boxset to be a decent surrogate for the Palisades backstage set, which I don't have and can't justify buying. But, I don't know what it actually looks like.

I also hope we see some more Muppets at NYCC!

I'm pretty sure if it's like the Electric Mayhem box set, the backstage will just be cardboard material and nothing you can really display out of the box.

Anything on New York Comic Con yet? Perhaps we will catch some new reveals. 👀

Well, it appears that the new dst figure has yet to be revealed, but we will be getting Deadly and Pepe pre-orders. Here's hoping we will get to see what they come with!
