I've never seen Fraggle Rock. My only exposure to Fraggle Rock as a property is from the two issues of the Star Comics Fraggle Rock series. Because of that, I thought it was a cartoon. I don't know what channel it initially aired on, but I didn't have it. That said, Boss Fight stuff has been good enough to get me into collecting toys from two properties I had very basic prior knowledge about (Bucky and Sam and Max) so this may do the same.
I watched some eps a little while ago as an adult and they held up pretty well. It is a kids show, of course, but the music is pretty good and the art direction is iconic. Just a really sweet, quirky imaginative world, very much in line with hippy-fantasy out of the 60's. And still made me laugh at my old jaded age of 38. My nieces love it too; I'm getting one of them the Doozer.

Kind of stoked if these are only 3 inches tall. I like little figures, and will make the limited articulation go down easier (if the Fraggles themselves only have 7 points)

My memories of Fraggle Rock are vague. I remember watching VHS tapes of it because we didn't have HBO for parts of my childhood. I did love the varied scales of the characters, the Doozers seeing the Fraggles as giants, the Fraggles seeing the Gorgs as giants, the Gorgs seeing the Fraggles as food, the wise Trash Heap overseeing all... and Uncle Travelling Matt's observations and interpretations of our alien (real life) world. It was a lot of fun.

It did have a cartoon, so that might be your memory.

Fraggle Rock is great.

It's more Labyrinth than Sesame Street. Not to say it's Labyrinth in any way, but I think the vibe is closer to that darker Henson universe, even though it's all generally very happy and upbeat.

I can't be the only one who always wanted to eat a piece of the Dozers buildings... But also always felt bad when the Fraggles would walk by and chomp down on some construction they had been hard at work on.

I'll admit that I felt the same way. I always wanted to try those Doozer beams, but I thought the Fraggles we're jerks for eating them.

The Boss Fight Studio website says these figures will be 3-6 inches tall. I hope they scale with Diamond Select's Muppets figures. About 4 inches for the Fraggles would be perfect, I think.

Well according to a post by Boss Fight on Instagram, preorders for wave 1 will go up in January with a fall 2023 release. I'm very excited to see how these look, other than just the concept art!

Wow. These looks fantastic. I love them all. Was going to cherry pick but now that I see them I might be all in. Those extra heads are INCREDIBLE, especially the iconic freaked out Traveling Matt. The Gobo could be top 10 2023 material.

I’m definitely in for these, even if the price stings a bit. I haven’t had the opportunity to support Boss Fight yet as I’ve mostly gotten out of 1:18 collecting, and if I sold my Mezco Popeye collection for lack of interest in the character, it wouldn’t make sense to get more. But Muppets is my jam, and I don’t think I could pass these up.

Will definitely consider grabbing Gobo and Red. Getting the main group of Fraggles would be pretty great...

But yeah, I grew up watching Fraggle Rock. It was always one of my favorites. I even grew my own radishes as a kid because of the show. :P

It looks like the team doing this line has a lot of love for the franchise. The extra expression, extra hands, and accessories show it. The prices are higher than I would like, but at least these seem to be collector type figures. Only the Doozers are questionable regarding value.

The figures all look so good and I love that we're getting more Doozers with the first wave!

I'm also pretty happy that BBTS put up those Emmet Otter figures for pre-order since I didn't feel comfortable ordering them directly from a company that I'm unfamiliar with. I know they are over priced, but what other chance will I ever get to see figures from that special?

Sprocket was revealed in their YouTube video and they said he’d be in scale with the Fraggles.

Neat but that would be pretty huge I'd think.
