As I am sure you know, Kermit and the crew of the Muppet show have recently graced the silver screen again for the movie Muppets Most Wanted. As with most movies, to go along with its release were a plethora of toys including puppets of the Muppets and a talking/ singing Kermit the Frog.

First we will look at the puppets. These puppets are from FAO. First of all realize these puppets are for small/medium hands if you have big hands don’t get these puppets and grab some fluffy gloves instead. The puppets are built well and come in a few styles, they are Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and Animal. All of which look great and are fun to play with. Our personal favorites are Gonzo and Fozzie bear.

This year they also included 9 new “Little Puppets”, or traditional hand puppets, that are small in size but huge in play value. They each have working mouths and hands, and include frogs, dragons, and unicorns to name a few. Some of their fun and unusual new larger puppets for this year include a money in a barrel (which can truly go all the way inside with the lid closed), [Read more…]
