Thanks for the reply. My question is really if the same pattern is true for variants of 'main' characters? Does a Kermit as Captain Smollet sell better than a Newsman? I guess it probably depends on the variant and character. Personally, I'm guessing MCC variants of main characters, or even the...

Do variants generally sell better than new characters? Personally, I would love MCC figures and think there would be lots of interest in those. I don't know if Pigs in Space and Vets Hospital variants would be more or less popular than new characters. Someone on FB suggested DST make characters...

I haven't seen anything about wave 3 or any recent updates about wave 2, not even product photos. It seems like Super7 is in a bit of a slump lately. I wonder if that is impacting this line. The Yip Yips came in a two-pack for series 1. Is that what you're asking? I'm not aware of variants of...

Awesome! They actually showed the prototypes of the figures during a live Q&A on YouTube last night. A screenshot is posted on the Muppet Merch section of the ToughPigs Discord. The more I look at the Sweetums figure, the more I like it. I'm curious how it will look once we can see additional...

Sprocket seemed a little big to me. Is he bigger in the new show? Maybe I'm just remembering his size wrong. I'm exactly the same when it comes to Mokey. I was planning to just wait for an original version, but now I'm planning to get both and just think of the new one as a different character...

Thanks for sharing the YouTube video! Veebs posted some size comparison photos on Instagram. The 7th photo below shows how well they match Palisades.

On the Fwoosh.com forum, Zach said that Lew, Sweetums, Newsman, and Lips are on the 'sooner rather than later' list, which sounds great to me! I think DST may have another production run of the several of the Best Of packs in 2024 (ee and bbts show several packs are restocking in 2024), but I...

There was an answer to a question about more Muppet figures on today's AskDST. "Graham T. I saw that Uncle Deadly and Pepe went up for pre-order on October 20th. That's great news! How soon can we expect to see the next Muppet figure two-pack after them? I hope y'all are planning many more...

I should have clarified that these are all DST figures not Palisades. I don't have enough Palisades figures to even think about messing with them. Plus, they are in limited supply. It looks like many of the DST figures are included in another production run and available in June 2024, with the...

I used Gonzo for Nigel, Dolores, and Louis. For Bobby, I used Scooter. To make Nigel and Dolores a little taller I cut their thighs and added about a quarter inch of miliput. For Louis and Bobby, I added ProCreate to make their jackets bigger.

I finished customs of Bobby Benson, Nigel, Dolores, and Louis Kazagger. Overall, I am happy with these, especially considering they are my first real attempt at customizing. I appreciate any feedback and constructive criticism.

I'm curious everyone else's opinions about which Muppets could get figures next and, really, which Muppets are more popular now. I assume every Muppet that has appeared in productions available on Disney+ is an option for DST, which I think is pretty much all of them. Here's my guess for order...

Zach Oat, from DST, has said they are moving away from full waves and focusing on individual releases because they had trouble when releasing full waves. He also said that the figure after Deadly and Pepe is sculpted and ready to show, but they will probably wait a bit because they just...

This second wave looks great! I'm happy they're making all the main characters in the first two waves and that they'll be making a classic Mokey later down the line. Hopefully, these sell well enough for them to get to that figure.

It could be a single figure with many or large accessories, maybe the Newsman and desk or Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphones. Here's what Zach recently said, "Not sure we'll have the next one at NYCC -- sculpt is done, but there's a lot to paint..." So, maybe it won't be at NYCC. His comment...
