If this one fails to meet its goal, it might be the last Haslab we see, and that makes it a risky venture in my opinon when they had other options that appeal to a much larger collector comminity with disposable income (ie. their own GI Joe and Transformers licenses that DON'T expire in 2020 like Marvel and Star Wars).

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the show. Its not as random as one might think. Many companies are getting in on Sesame Street this year. I am surprised its a replica and not an action figure line.
