Given how S7 seems to be handling similar themed licenses like Muppets, I think their Sesame Street line will be Reaction figures.

In the DST general thread, MSWord confirmed they are making more Muppet figures! I'm so excited to see which two are next.
Yup, sculpts are done on the next two-pack.

I'm guessing this two-pack will be Lips and Pepe. Since Lips will be on the new Muppet Mayhem show coming out on Disney+ later this year, I think it makes sense for him to come out next. I think Pepe is probably the most popular Muppet remaining without a figure. Plus, he is on the box.

Personally, I'd love for them to make Lew Zealand and Beauregard. Maybe they'll be after this next two-pack? It's awesome that this line is continuing and there is hope for even more Muppets in the future!

I'd really love to see them get Sesame Street and do those Muppets (I don't care it they're owned by different companies. They've always been Muppets and they will forever be Muppets in my heart of hearts. :lol: )

I’m buying whatever Muppets they make. That said Lips and Pepe are good pics. I still want the over sized monsters like Sweetums and Uncle Deadly since he packs around with Miss Piggy lately.

Thwipp!

I'd like some Pigs in Space figures. I think those would be fun to use with other lines.

I'd love for DST to do Sesame Street too. Super7 just announced they are making Sesame Street figures. We'll see if they do a ReAction or Ultimates line. Either way, I think the price of Super7 stuff is really high without a huge gain in quality. I'd much prefer if DST were making a Sesame Street to go with their Muppets.

At 2:30 and 66:00 in the below video, Zach Oat provides some more info about DST's Muppets Select line. My guess is still Lips and Pepe will be the next two characters out. It sounds like they plan to keep making characters, which is obviously awesome news! https://www.youtube.com/live/dJD9-prThNM?feature=share

Edit: folks on Facebook think it will be Uncle Deadly and Pepe. I think this is a better guess than my original guess. I hope they eventually make a Lips though. Plus Lew and Beau.

I saw BBTS had a packaged photo of Zoot. First time I’ve seen the packaging on the Reaction figures.

The 5 main band members and Scooter are available for pre-order now on bbts.com and Super7. I'm only ordering Zoot for now because I want to to see what a figure looks like in hand before getting them all. At this point, I'm not a big fan of the cartoony style and limited articulation or the price.



I'm eager for Diamond Select to show their next two-pack! If sculpts were done a couple months ago, I hope that means they'll be able to share more information and maybe photos soon. I guess I have no idea how long the whole process takes or what delays can occur. Is it too soon for them to be included in the March or April pre-orders?

Assuming that the next two Muppets from DST are Uncle Deadly and Pepe, which characters do you hope DST makes next? My top picks are Lew Zealand, Lips, Beauregard, Pops, and the Newsman. If I had to narrow it down to a two-pack, it's Lew Zealand and Lips. I really like the looks of both Muppets and curious to see how DST figures would look.

I'm hoping the new Electric Mayhem show is successful enough for Lips to become a more likely next figure candidate. I also hope that other characters appear on the show enough to get back into the public consciousness a little more. Maybe Beau will be a roadie? I'm not sure where Lew or Pops would fit in on the show.

I got in all the Reaction figures minus Zoot last night. I'm really impressed with how these came out. Animal looks a little off, but the rest of them are really nice. I'm going to keep them packaged, but if I can get a second set on sale, I'll pick up some openers.
