Target has listings for Bert and Ernie now. Bert went up earlier this week, and I kept him saved but didn't pull the trigger until I saw Ernie listed. Now that Ernie is listed, Bert is out of stock. At least I ordered Ernie. I still have both POed at BBTS but they're $3 more than Target. Gonna keep trying my luck with Target for Bert. I did see the Toony versions at Target this week.
Bert and Ernie are hitting stores already too, I've seen.
Just saw Bert and Ernie at Target. I had no intention of picking any of these up but they are just fantastic looking in person. I had to grab Bert and will decide on Ernie later. It seems sacrilegious to only have one but I always liked Bert way more than Ernie.
Bring on the Count and Oscar!
I ordered Ernie and Bert from Target dot com and they say they’re shipped and arriving this Saturday despite shipping about three days apart. We shall see. I’ve saved my Boss Fight Fraggles to open up at the same time!
Got Bert and Ernie yesterday and they are fantastic renditions of the characters but I had a lot of trouble getting the heads to stay on after swapping, even with heating them. Also Ernie's knee wants to keep popping out of the calf. I may need to swap him out.
I received B&E yesterday during the crash. Gave me the opportunity to open the Boss Fight Fraggles I've been saving. B&E are outstanding. Fraggles are just as fragile as everyone reported. I snapped Gobo's left knee in testing the joints. Red's left elbow is stuck, so I won't be moving that further. But Matt came out perfect. Bert is also perfect. I'm bummed Ernie didn't seem to come with as many accessories as Bert. Both look so good though, and I look forward to more Sesame Street Muppets.
My closed mouth Bert has his eyebrow not glued in so I was able to turn it upside down. He looks so much better with an annoyed expression.

Mine wasn't glued in on either. I assumed it was intentional to give more expressions?
I think the eyebrow thing is intentional
The eyebrows on both Bert heads are removable and swappable. Looking at the instructions on the bottom of the box.
I thought my figure was something special! Guess not. In fact, only one of my Bert's heads has removable brows so now I feel like I got ripped off.
I think the eyebrows are meant to be swapped, but not turned upside down. The pegs on each side of the brows are slightly different. One is just a little bigger than the other.
Happy Toy Fair!

Oh my goodness, that brick wall accessory is nearly as iconic as Sesame Street itself. Such a simple thing, but instantly recognizable to me. Big Bird and Herry look fantastic. Glad they're already digging deeper. Can't wait to build this whole neighborhood!
