Happy Birthday, whoever! You’ll soon be able to have more NECA Muppet action figures in home! NECA’s booth at San Diego Comic Con had previews of figures in the Muppet Show and Sesame Street lines, and some of them are up for pre-order now!
First up, a figure that isn’t up for pre-order yet – Miss Piggy! We’ve seen her shown off at another convention already, but it looks like they’ve improved on the sculpt a little, right? Or am I just seeing things?
Next up, the Great Gonzo! There’s oddly no photos of the figure on the website yet, so we have to look at the prototype in glass. Gonzo will come with Camilla the Chicken, an extra head and hands so he can hold his horn, rubber tire, and brick. Is it the brick he wrestled or is it Amy the Dancing Brick? Only his contractor knows for sure!
Then we have everyone’s favorite nonsense-speaking guys, Mahna Mahna and the Snowths! The three pack will include an extra head for Mahna Mahna, as well as a telephone from his famous sketch, and his bell and baton from “Sax and Violence.”
Hopefully coming in time for the holidays, it’s Kermit as Bob Cratchit and Robin as Tiny Tim – they come with extra hands, scarves, and a little crutch for Robin. Be sure not to lose him, otherwise there will be a crutch without an owner.
Moving away from the Muppets, they also had on displayed some of their Sesame Street line. Coming up soon is Oscar the Grouch, who has some removable arms to help him get in and out of his can. He comes with a SCRAM sign, Slimey the Worm, his Rubber Yuccky, and a letter T.
Their display had the wonderful box he’ll be coming in. Look for a certain obsolete robot in his junk pile!
Elsewhere in the world of toys, Plastic Meatball showed off the Emmet Otter figures they launched some time ago. They showed off some prototypes of more figures in the line hopefully coming next year – it’s two members of the Riverbottom Nightmare Band, Chuck Stoat and Stanley Weasel! We’ll keep you posted when more details come up!
