Link to an image posted from SDCC of the first three figures revealed. Count Von Count, Ernie, and Bert. I am super excited about these! Also interesting this is also basically the same wave one as Super7 Reaction Figures. Either way, I have been asking for these, I will be buying these. Are you excited? Who do you want most in this line? I know she in unlikely, but my main want is Julia, a newer character with autism!

Grover is by far my most wanted figure.  Add in Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Oscar and I could consider my collection complete.  I'd buy some other characters, but would be happy with just the classic regular crew.  I wonder if we could also get a Kermit with way too many points on his collar.

Yeah, these look amazing! Paul Harding, the sculptor, confirmed on Twitter that these work with the Palisades figures.  This is everything I would have wanted from a Sesame Street line.

Scaling with Palisades is prob the clincher for me. I have nearly a complete set of the classic Palisades. Did skip a few of the modern ones. Though I do genuinely like Pepe and Rizzo

This is just about perfect - they look great, and being in scale to Palisades' Muppets is icing on the cake. All in on these!

ReAction is soliciting a 3 3/4" Mr Hooper figure, but no pics yet.  I really want to see what that looks like as it suggests his likeness is available.  So help me, I will be greedy and say if this succeeds and NECA makes in scale figures of Mr Hooper, Bob, Gordon and Susan, I might actually cry.

@fac Maybe the likeness is available.  The Roger Rabbit human characters did not use the actor’s likenesses.

@scottg10 Thanks. That makes more sense to me.

I just noticed the Q3 2024 sign on these.  I hope it's true!

Has anyone seen a price for these? I think NECA Ultimates are $40ish. Is that right? These look amazing, and there are over a dozen characters I would like them to make. Hopefully it's a nice steady release pace that goes really deep.

I'm guessing $35 to $40 based on other Neca Ultimates.

I can not believe this news. I think these are better than what Palisades would have made. The articulation style is a better choice and having 2 head sculpts for a closed and open mouth is great. The accessories are very show and character specific as well.

It's been about 20 years since those Palisades figures were shown. It's amazing that someone picked up the torch and ran with it.

So, I know I'm probably in the minority on this,  but I really hope that they do a basic Grover figure for this line before they do Super Grover.     Give him a tray and a serviette so he can do his waiter thing, sure... but let him just be Grover without his super alter ego.    I got my wife the Palisades Super Grover already but Grover is her all time favorite character from any property.    She would adore a basic Grover figure and I really hope NECA can deliver one.

 

For me... I'd probably resist getting into the Sesame Street line just for lack of anywhere to display it.... but if they were to make a deluxe Snuffleupagus,  well I don't think I could resist that.

@panthercult I doubt you're in the minority there.  I definitely would prefer a regular Grover with some accessories other than his super hero costume.  Then again, I have 2 Super Grovers.  Still, I prefer his normal look.

In Pixel Dan's walk through with Blaine, Blaine mentioned they're trying to release them as pairs that make sense, so we can all speculate who would be a good fit to be Count's "wave" mate.
