Sababa Mokey coming Summer 2006

[Phillip Chapman]

Ever since the rumors started spreading last month concerning the unknown future of Sababa's Mokey plush, we've been working on getting an official answer from Sababa Toys. We've been in correspondence with Sababa and they want to make the following announcement concerning the Sababa Mokey Plush doll expected to arrive next summer.

Also check out pictures of the upcoming Sababa Fraggle Fun Packs and Fraggle Uno.

[chestermcdragon]

yes!

[Sylinde Bren]

Glorious news! Can't wait. ^-^

[redBoobergurl]

Well that's the best news I've heard in a long time on this topic! We will be getting our Mokey! Yea!!!!

[EleganceLiberty]

Awesome! =D My sis will like that, as Mokey is her favorite. (Where as I'm a bipolar Boober-Red person, my sis is very much like Mokey, heh)

And... gso'ghdfjlghgfjh YES!!!!!
*drools at the Red/Boober set /w 'Marooned'*

[DaViD Boulet]

Where can we get these? Are the dolls of Gobo and Red still available? (not the small ones, but the "plush" dolls)? How much do they cost???

thanks!

[Erine81981]

I still have to get Red. Then get Mokey when she comes out. I hope that other character come out.

[Foodie]

Oooh! And I can pre-order the beanie fraggle/DVD two packs! :smirk:

Nick

[MrsPepper]

Ooh, this is excellent. :) Can't wait!

[Barry Lee]

That's great news! Even though I haven't bought a single one, but I will now that mokey is coming up! :excited: Fraggle joy :excited:

[Squall Leonhart]

All I can say is it's about time that they make an offical annoucment. :excited: Rumors? Like the board I started? :o But at least now they know that there is a damand for Fraggle Stuff and hopefully will prompt them to make more in the future.

[Janice & Mokey's Man]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :excited: :excited: :excited:

[Fozzie Bear]

YYAAAAYYYYYYY!!!

THANK YOU SABABA!!!

I'm a happy boy!

[Wocka Wocka]

Hip Hip Hooray!

[CoOKiE]

YAY! I was So0o0o0o excited to read up on this info. Ever since i heard they're not makin Mokey, i kept coming back to hear more news, but nothing changed os i kinda stoped visiting the fourms cuz it was depressing.. but its GREAT to hear things have changed.. And whats wit the film? THATS SO FREAk'N GREAT!

but, i havn't seen the minis in the stores.. has n e one else? what stores?

[Drtooth]

Quite a long wait, but during that time, I'll probably get the others. I only have Gobo so far. Really hope an Uncle Matt and a Sprocket aren't too far behind. Just wish they'd make Fraggle PVC sets.

[Fozzie Bear]

I'm wishing for Matt and Sprocket as well.

Here's hoping Palisades will see fit to make Fraggle action figures in scale with The Muppets' line!

[alexgeyerx]

FINALLY!! The empty spot between boober and red will be filled... im.... so.... happy..... *sniff*:p :p :p

[Fozzie Bear]

I'm so happy she's coming. I may go online and get all 5 again, too, when she gets here to have 2 sets...for whatever reason I want that many.

Also was suprised some of the customizers didn't get extras to customize when the others have been released so far.

[Erine81981]

Like your avatar Kevin. Is that the real Fozzie or did you make him? I know getting off topic but I want to know!

[Fozzie Bear]

I didn't make that. You'll see more about it when you read a post elsewhere.

[CoOKiE]

I think Uncle Matt would be sweet... but i'm finw with just mokey :)

[Mystic Master]

I'm really happy to hear we're getting a Mokey - the other fraggles seemed to sell out at the retailers around me, so fan support should be obvious. I'd also like to see a plush sprocket, I'd buy him over traveling matt...due mostly to sprocket being similar to the dog from "the storyteller"... Lastly, I hope Sabbaba posts some prototype pictures of Mokey sometime in the near future.

[Baby Rowlf]

Oh Awesome!!! Mokey's gonna look SWEET!! They've done such a good job with the other Fraggles! My friend Zen got me Red, and she looks so awesome!:)

[CoOKiE]

hmmmm... no pics on mokeys progress i guess?:smirk:

[CoOKiE]

Has anyone contacted Sababa to check up on the process? Yea i know.. i'm a lil impatient. But its always nice to know. I've visited the website several times, and they dont even mention the Fraggle Plushes they've made in the past. Is that only because they've stopped making them? I know they stoped making the doozers. It would be great if anyone can shed some light.

[Phillip Chapman]

Mokey is still planned as far as we know. We'll probably be hearing more after Toy Fair.

[CoOKiE]

That makes sense. Thanks Phil, i forgot all about toy fair :)

[Frogster]

I'm excited she's coming out this summer and all, but I think it's kinda unfair to Mokey... she just doesn't seem that popular to the general audience, when actually, she's quite wonderful. Kinda stinks how she's always put to the back... I mean, she's not on the cover of Dance Your Cares Away, Kathryn Mullen's not in the bonus interviews, and she's the last plush to come out. Plus, if you look at it, Down In Fraggle Rock's episodes contained the first three episodes, A Gobo, Wembley and Red episode, but I can see why cuz they're goin in order there, but in Down In Fraggle Rock, it goes Boober Gorg, then Blanket of Snow, Blanket of Woe. Plus, that episode could be seen as a Gobo and Mokey episode. Sorry to get technical, but it's just something that I've noticed.

[Fozzie Bear]

Mokey appeals to the artist in all of us really and I think she IS underappreciated.

Where's Byron in all this?? He should be here!

[CoOKiE]

Just curiouse if Sabab made it to Toy Fair and/or if someone has found more info on Mokey. I tried doing some research online but didn't find anything. And i dont see any way we can contact Sababa by e-mail (I'd rather send an e-mail then call). Anyone else find any news? Anyone go to toy fare and see Sababa's post and/or talk to someone?

[Muppet Matt]

How much do the beanie/ DVD Fraggles cost?:confused:

[Fozzie Bear]

I'm ready for my Mokey Fraggle!!!

I still wish they'd left the plush Doozers out of the equation and made Mokey, Matt, and Sprocket instead! I would have loved more Doozer PVCs.

[Mystic Master]

Since Mokey is coming this summer, it should appear on Sababas website (sababatoys.com/pl_fraggle.html), the link to the site shows the other plush Fraggles. I cant wait to see what Mokey looks like - I wonder where they will show her first - comic con?

[CoOKiE]

Havn't all the toy conventions ended already?

[CoOKiE]

calling them is long distence for me, or even making a toll call is bad sicne i dont pay the phone bills... not to make anyone do my dirty work, but has anyone called them to ask about Mokey? Summers coming up and i'm afride we're not going to see a Mokey plush. :(

[Jonathan]

No, I Somehow dout we will get it, Another Let Down! They must be taking lessons from Disney...:cry:

What does that mean? If anything, the Muppet have been in the open more NOW that Disney has them, people need to get over this whole "I hate Disney" thing, cause the truth is, The Muppets are part of Disney now, and they are gonna stay that way, so you can eather be a baby about it or learn to enjoy what we get.

VERY well sayed! :)

[CoOKiE]

As i agree, it wasn't so bad that disney now owns Muppets. I also agree that we've been lied to. This is seriously an outrage! I will never buy another thing from them :grouchy:

[Jonathan]

:boo: What does that mean?

It Means:
Where is Kermit Christmas Capers?!?
Where is all those Muppet Attaractions that were annouced?
Why have we not heard anything about American Muppet?
Look What Happend to the Kermit Tour
And on a Non-Muppet Note, Look at the Song of the South DVD... Ohh Yea THERES NOT GONA BE ONE ANYMORE!!!

They Lied, Which makes them liers!!
And It Looks Like Sababa Lied too!

[Fozzie Bear]

Well, you have two or three different things out of place in that post.

First, only Henson and Sababa have the deal for Mokey.

Disney's Muppets Holding Company owns (outright) all things Muppets. Henson has nothing to do with it anymore.

Henson also has nothing to do with Sesame Street, which is owned by Sesame Workshop.

[FraggleFan]

..well, didn't they say mokey would be coming this summer? it's still spring! just because the temps have reached the 90's, we shouldn't lose hope already!

[CoOKiE]

As i still pray we get Mokey, where are the production photos or updates? I wish i coulda call them and ask, myself, but i cant.

Dont forget to add the fact that Muppeteers have been lossing their jobs. For example. From the Balcony. A series on movies.com, stars cheaper paid puppeteers, and replaced Steve, and (i wanna say Dave but i think i'm wrong). Disney cut them out to save money. Do you think it stops there? When else will another Muppeteer lose their job due to Disney's changes?

I'm not 100% agasint Disney. We havn't seen too much from them just yet. But thats kind of a draw back, and honestly, Muppet Oz didn't do so well.

[Metacritter]

Foodie's finding new Fraggle plush, I'm hearing word of Target exclusives, and STILL no Mokey! Oh, the humanity! :cry:

[Convincing John]

So...here it is summer, and we haven't seen or heard anything about Mokey yet. Uh, what's going on? Shouldn't have Sababa said something by now?

:confused:

Rumor has it she's CANCELLED!! UGH!
I want Sababa to buy back the four they sold me--they're no good to me without Mokey!

[Convincing John]

Fozzie, your email from the other thread (the one you wrote to Sababa Toys) was very well put.

What indeed is the use of an incomplete set of Fraggles? Mokey is one of the core characters, and many fans (including myself) would adore to have a Mokey as part of their collection. Yeah, Doozers are nice...but the PVC ones were enough.

They should have used their money to produce the rest of the core group of characters (Mokey, Matt, Sprocket...maybe Junior Gorg) instead of expanding on the Doozer line. Seeing the wide Doozer selection and not a Mokey in sight makes me think "what gives?"

Do you think an email would be the best way to contact them? I don't know if a regular ol' snail mail letter would be more effective...or calling them.

I hope that someone from Sababa reads this thread (or someone emails 'em the link). I don't think I'd return my Fraggles to the company...but that's only my opinion.

Man, I hope they reconsider Mokey...

What gives with Mokey?:confused:

I mean, why is she getting the brush-off with a lot of Fraggle stuff. You don't see her on the covers on DVDs, besides the season. Now no plush. That's sad.

[Foodie]

Foodie's finding new Fraggle plush, I'm hearing word of Target exclusives, and STILL no Mokey! Oh, the humanity! :cry:

They shipped the set of new large Sababa fraggles with DVDs a few days ago. If I can, I'll get pictures. :smirk:

I got them today but I have no clue if they're gonna be the Target ones. I got them from an on-line store and they only make Gobo, Wembley & Red. They come with DVDs that have 2 episodes and one cartoon. They're about the size of the Hasbro plushes. They're nice. $20 each. I did a Google for fraggles and these showed up. A warning to the whiners though, they don't have a Boober yet and also, no Mokey, so... start a new thread if you want to cry about it cuz honestly, I'm rather tired of your tantrums.

Awesome find, thank you! :excited:
*counts pennies*
Aw, who am I kidding... It's a foregone conclusion that I'm gonna get 'em!

The real question is how many? I doubled up on the Red plush and the Red & Gobo fun pack. I dangit wanted Red and Gobo free from their bondage, but wanted to leave one of the fun packs intact. Red #2 was going to ride on my motorcycle headlight. I gave up that idea because I couldn't stand to let her get bug-splatted... maybe if I put a windshield back on.

So, can the packages be left un-destroyed when getting the plush out?

[Foodie]

Yeah. They come out easy. Just snip a few wires and the package stays fine. :smirk:

"Early August will see a line of plush including Gobo, Red and Wembley. Each will come with a disc with two of the character's episodes and one animated episode. Sababa are looking at releasing Mokey, Boober and Travelling Matt for Spring 2007.

They also had this to say about a mini Mokey plush, and I quote... "Due to the overwhelming number of emails we’ve received regarding a Mokey plush, we would like to set the records straight. We at Sababa Toys are Fraggle Rock fans ourselves, which is why we sought out the license. We WILL be producing a Mokey plush for release in SUMMER 2006!""


DOES THIS MEAN WERE GETTING OUR MOKEY!!!???!?!?!

[CoOKiE]

this summer.... no. Maybe next spring in the larger version with the DVD.

And i'd like to let everyone know that i've spotted these larger fraggles at Newberry Comics. I bought Wembly and Red, but refused to buy Gobo, my favorit character, because his mouth was wrong. It looked like a manufactering error. So, i'll keep my eyes open.

each cost $19.99 and tax, depending where you live.

Then where is she:attitude: ??? I have not seen Mokey:mad: and I want to know WHAT"S UP?????:confused:

[JJandJanice]

I think it's seems safe to say that, once agian, Mokey is left out.

Hopefully things won't stay that way, but I have to say that I'm just happy that we're getting Fraggle Rock on DVD and Fraggle stuff to add to our collections. Like I said it's too bad there is less and less Mokey, but still, got to love that there is Fraggles at all.

[CoOKiE]

I never updated this perticular thread, but Target has the larger Sababa Fraggle plushes for $12.99. I've bought Red and Webley at Newburry comies, and decided right away to bring them back and save with Target's lower prices. I now own all 3, but beware... Gobo is the rarest to find. As, you should have no problem finding Red, who seems to be taking up much room on all Target's shelves.

[wembleyfraggle]

At hte Targets around here, Wembley is the rare one, I have only scene one wembley with in 3 Targets. I of corse bought him. But I have seen maybe 5 Gobo's all together and who knows how many Red's, they sure got enough of her!

[Ilikemuppets]

You know guys, there is just somthin about Muppets and the color Red?:confused: ;)

[CoOKiE]

yeah, i rememebr youi and i talking about not bein able to find our favs. Around here its Gobo. I saw him at newburrys, but it looked bad. and Target, and thats when i bought him.

[JJandJanice]

I have yet to find any of them here in Colorado, but I'll keep my eyes open.

[MrsWembly]

I wish they would hurry up! The Mokey doll is the only one I don't have! I had one when I was little but it really didn't do Mokey justice. The eyes were all cross eyed!
