Muppet plush in the FAO catalog

[Joe]

we got the FAO Schwarz catalog in the mail today, and they have muppet plush, I think they're something that's been previously released, but I'm not sure.

there's:
Kermit
Piggy
Fozzie
Gonzo
Rizzo
Animal
Statler & Waldorf (set)


($20.00 each S&W are $38)

all are approx 14" tall and out of stock(online)

(it also says they're all from Sesame Street...)

Hmm! Do you happen to know what brand these are? Not sure if they are Nancom, Igel, Disney, etc. They remind me of the MV3D gift shop ones though.

I remember 5 years ago this month I had a extremely cool vacation to Las Vegas. They have one of the world's largest
FAO Swartz...and the entire first floor was all Sesame Street(they even had animatronic Honkers!) I remember wishing they had Muppet Show stuff, so hopefully now they will.

I'm pretty sure they are Igel. I got my S&W from them at the Boston store about 2 years ago. But then the were $65. I also got the Rizzo for $32. They all sold out pretty quickly, and they never got another shipment. I did go in to their store the other day, and noticed that they got a new shipment of Igel Kermit puppets and bendable plush.

They are the Igel Plush. FAO in NY had them all for a long time on quite a nice display on the second floor, then they went - along with a drastically reduced Sesame Street display.

They must obviously have them back in. The Igel Muppet Beanies have been turning up here in the UK again recently too. I imagine its in hope of selling some on the back of the 25th Anniversary but who knows.
