    1979 World Magazine

    Yep, that appears to be it. That's a great poster, but the other side was even better! I've tried the local libraries with no luck. Hopefully someone with a copy (or access to a library with a copy) will see this and make some scans available. It really is worth the effort. I never saw a...

    1979 World Magazine

    I've been looking for several years with no luck and can't even any finished auctions. I must be using the wrong search terms. I'd even be willing to pay a reasonable fee for scans.

    Original retail Whatnots from 70's

    Those are pretty great too! I was just about to chalk up my children remembrance/ obsession to insanity after years of searching (using the wrong search terms :( apparently) so I'm really, really satisfied at this point. Those Anything Muppets seem to go for about $50 when they are on eBay...

    I've already tried the local library system with no luck, and contacted National Geographic and that back issue is no longer available. If someone does have access to a back issue archive and has this issue available, I HIGHLY recommend making the effort to get a scan. Save for maybe an...

    I think that's it! No wonder I was having a hard time searching. Somewhere in the last 30 some years I mixed up "Anything" with "Whatnot". Thanks for the clue!

    1979 World Magazine

    I've been searching high and low for a copy of the August 1979 World Magazine (National Geographic's kid's mag) that featured the Muppets. This not only had a great "behind the scenes" story on the Muppets, but also a big fold-out poster that showed details on the construction of a Muppet. I...

    Original retail Whatnots from 70's

    Back when I was a kid, we'd go to the local Hill's department store to look at the toys, and they always had the complete assortment of whatever Muppet/Sesame Street puppets that would be available. As a kid who was really into puppets, this was a great place to spend some time. I remember...
