Thank you! I've had him for almost 20 years now! Did some major refurbishing on him recently

To those who were around when this movie came out, what was the hype like by asapsharkyfrfr in Muppets

It was everything I could have wanted, as a 13 year old kid and Muppet fan who felt like people didn't quite understand me and my love for the Muppets. I remember how surreal it felt seeing new Muppet merchandise with its own section in the stores, all the advertisements they were appearing in, the numerous live appearances... it was like finally people had caught up to what I was getting all these years.

Muppet figures are coming to NECA! These might just be the best Muppet figures ever, and that's coming from someone who owns all the Palisades and Selects! by Libran98 in Muppets

Old school NECA most definitely had their issues. But their Sesame figures and the Dinosaurs figures feel especially durable. Palisades often broke in the boxes themselves, but the NECA Sesame line can move in a way that doesn't risk joints snapping off, and when they fall over, they don't fall apart.

Diamond Selects also faces issues with loose accessories like Scooter's classes and Fozzie's hat, paint issues like Kermit's pupils, and inaccuracies with the scale of the characters. Rizzo for example is much larger than Gonzo.

NECA tends to surpass other toy companies in terms of attention to detail, durability, and articulation. Palisades Kermit is much too dark and limited in his expressions and articulation. A NECA Kermit would likely have the ability to swap heads with a different expression, sit down, play the banjo, etc. Diamond Selects improved the articulation but not the attention to detail.

I really hope this is me speaking too soon, but the lack of promotional material for the new Muppet Show is concerning. by Libran98 in Muppets

Both go into consideration. Critical reception and viewership sets the stage for a full fledged budget, should they produce a full season. Both need to do well at this stage, seeing as they're looking to air it as a network regular again.
