Sesame Street Ultimate The Count Figure: Collector Guide

Quick answer

Buy the Sesame Street Ultimate The Count 7” Scale Action Figure if you want a highly articulated, display-ready version of the character with 27 points of articulation and accessories. Skip it if you prefer plush or smaller-scale figures, or if you need a toy for young children.

Why articulation matters for a Count figure

The Count is a character built on motion—counting on his fingers, gesturing at numbers, leaning in to deliver a punchline. A figure with only a few joints limits those poses. This Ultimate release has 27 articulation points, which means you can adjust the arms, legs, head, and likely the cape or hands to create natural counting poses. That flexibility is the main reason to choose this version over a static collectible.

More joints also mean more places for the figure to feel loose over time, so handle it gently when swapping accessories or reposing. If you plan to keep it boxed, articulation matters less; if you plan to display it dynamically, it is the key feature.

What the accessories add to display

The Count comes with a number of accessories, though the exact list is not detailed in the catalog. In practice, accessories let you theme a shelf around counting or pair the figure with other Sesame Street Ultimates. Because the full accessory lineup is not specified here, treat that as a decision limitation: if you need a specific prop (like a particular number or cape), confirm the contents before ordering.

Accessories also create storage and loss risk. Small pieces are easy to misplace, so plan a small bag or compartment if you rotate displays.

Scale and shelf presence

At 7-inch scale, this figure is larger than many standard action figures and will stand out on a dedicated Sesame Street shelf. It is not a tiny desk toy; check your shelf height and depth before buying, especially if you display it with other 7-inch Ultimates. The larger scale also makes facial details and the Count’s signature look easier to see from a distance.

If your collection is mostly 6-inch figures, this will be noticeably taller and may look out of place in a mixed lineup. Group it with other 7-inch scale figures for a consistent look.

The vampire connection

The Count is a vampire character, which is why this figure sits in the Vampire Collection category. That makes it a natural crossover piece for horror or vampire-themed displays, not just Sesame Street shelves. If you already collect vampire figures, this is a playful, recognizable addition that does not take itself too seriously.

Keep in mind that the styling is still Sesame Street—bright, friendly, and cartoonish—so it will not blend with realistic horror collectibles. Use it as a deliberate contrast or a separate themed corner.

Decision rules for buying The Count

• If you display dynamic poses: Choose this figure. The 27 articulation points allow counting gestures and varied stances that static figures cannot match.
• If you collect the NECA Sesame Street Ultimate line: Buy it to keep scale and styling consistent with the previous two Ultimates. It is the third release in the line. Check whether you already own the earlier Ultimates to avoid duplicates.
• If you need a toy for a young child: Skip it. This is a collector-oriented 7-inch figure with small accessories; choose a plush or age-rated toy instead.
• If you are building a vampire-themed display: Consider it as a playful contrast piece, but keep it separate from realistic horror figures to avoid style clash.
• If you need specific accessories: Confirm the exact accessory list before ordering; the catalog only states it comes with a number of accessories. Ask the store for a contents list if a particular prop is essential.
