I'd absolutely buy some! If Hasbro wanted to be really smart about it though, they'd save themselves a bunch of time and money and just friggin' hire Ken Lilly to do said figures. He's the one that designed the line for Palisades before they went under, and what they had planned was fantastic!

WOO Sesame Street Transformers Crossovers! Bert and Ernie merge to for giant letter a, or number 3, or a tank.

Sadly, I'd totally buy those.

I immediately thought about action figures and those great Palisades sculpts that never got produced. http://www.flickr.com/photos/9302795@N03/3209123052/

It probably won't happen. Remember that Hasbro's business model is "if it doesn't sell millions of units, it's not profitable".
Collector oriented Sesame Street toys wouldn't sell anywhere near enough for their profit margins. But maybe a nice middle ground? Like with the Star Wars Unleashed 2.5" figurines?

Remember that, unlike Palisades, Hasbro at least has enough clout to get good distribution, especially after ROTF and the Joe movie lines made them so much cash.

A Transformers Crossover line would intriguing...

Think it's really wise using "SS-themed" to describe Children's Workshop merch? lol

Honestly, I think the only way I'd care about sesame street action figures is if some how Todd McFarlane got the rights and then did to it what he did to Grimm's Fairy Tales and Santa and his buddies.

Too bad Hasbro makes LCD crap 12" figures, as larger scale characters from Seasame Street, Muppets, even Fraggles, Farscape, or Story Book would be wonderful, esp. with Feel Real Fur and Kung Fu Grip.
I liked the life sized replicas made for Animal and Beaker from Sideshow / Palisades, the Animal is stunning, though he lacked a throat collar and chain. Who knew his fur on camera is actually made from and array of delicate fluffy feathers? Fat chance Hasbro will make any of those.
If they make Muppet show cameo versions of classic Star Wars characters, I'll consider waiving my general Hasbro & Mattel are dead to me stance.
Where's some Hot Toys manufactured Muppets when you need them?
