Veebs has a new interview up with Trevor, who is overseeing the Sesame Street line as well as TMNT. Turns out Trevor was working at Palisades right as they were starting their own Sesame Street line and then...sadly, only their Grover made it out and the company went under.

>first three figures have shipped, Bert and Ernie will be hitting soon>Bert's unibrow is swappable between the faces. He also has removable hair for later accessories like a hat.>Focusing on the mid 70s and mid 80s Sesame Street >The Count's cape pattern had to be custom made to try to match -one version- of the Count's cape, if the line goes deep enough, they may do another.>The Count has a crook to his mouth when closed, possibly from how he's puppeted, and they made sure to include that on the figure>Sesame Street workshop has been extremely helpful in getting them the reference they need for things like the back of the Count's jacket.>Big Bird is coming. Was TEASED HEAVILY with Trevor miming how big the box would need to be. "Not that I'd know..." >Cookie Monster may be in some level of production too. Wasn't confirmed but got slipped into conversation when discussing the early stuff they were working on. "Every character we have coming up is like...furry and blue.">Some characters will have hinged mouths if they can do it without hurting the look of the figure
