New Muppet Christmas Ornament at the Disney Store

Did you try a "Don't tap the glass, you'll disturb the animals" sign with a funny picture? I know one place that does that, and their glass cases are squeaky clean because of that.

But strange for that 2005 copyright. Yes... I think they might indeed have shelved that until now, since they had so much trouble getting the franchise back on its feet (certain franchise killing special and multiple restructurings no doubt). Hope I can find one or get one that's in tact. Probably hang it from a low branch in the back. You won't actually see it, but it's safe there.

Mine arrived a few days ago. It was carefully packaged in the mailing box. The plain white no frills box that the ornament and surrounding styro-foam was in was another story...it looked like the box wasn't big enough for the protective foam block, but they forced it in anyways.

When I opened the package, the ornament was GREAT, minus Kermit having lost a leg in transit. It could have been fixed with super glue but I called customer service, and the were more than happy to send a replacement free of charge while suggesting I donate the broken ornament to charity. I made sure to mention the packaging of the ornament, so hopefully ornament #2 will be in one piece.

Im still excited because this is a great ornament! It looks like it would be safe hanging on a sturdy tree from the ribbon it comes with, even on a prominent branch in the front! That is where mine will be BUT I will be keeping my not yet 2 year old nephew away from my tree!

Found some today....


all broken.


That said, I'd love to get this ornament and all... but I'd much rather their Perry the Platypus one. I'd probably get both...

If I can find a not broken Kermit that is...

Guess I got the good one. Sometimes the first pancake is the best.

Got mine today. Everything is great but I can see how Kermit's legs break off easily.

P.S. Has anybody seen Doc Hopper lately?

i wonder if the 05 stamp is cause it looks like one of the old christmas promo pics

Got my replacement ornament yesterday, and this one is in perfect condition! I'm very happy now!

I think the way to go is to order this one online!

That is a really nice ornament. I love Kermit's expression.

I'm starting to wonder... did some of these break during shipping to the stores? I guess that could have happened. I think I'll still get it... though, again, Perry the Platypus's siren song is making me go in that direction. Plus, I've got several Muppets already on my tree... no Perrys... but then again I only discovered the show this year...

Drtooth, question since your from MA which disney store are you checking?

Burlington. Haven't been able to get to any of the others. Looks like if they had ones that weren't leg or armless in some way, someone bought them (there were only 4 anyway). Of course, I can only imagine the level of delicacy I have to handle them.

i actually have never been to that mall
i used to go to the Holyoke mall but their Disney store is long gone, Solomon Pond had 1 ornament but the foot was gone...but they had a bunch of other kermit related items

i bought my Muppet kermit and miss piggy ornament today along with BOTH Nightmare before christmas ornaments Tangled toy story 3

There seem to be a BUNCH of NON-BROKEN ones in the Saugus Square One Mall location for any MA members.


Didn't realize they also had Phineas and Ferb riding a snowmobile too (in case anyone's interested).

So ANY new Muppet stuff at Disney malls stores besides the ornament for the holiday season?

They had a green Kermit travel mug, but that's it. Lots of Nightmare Before Christmas stuff. I'm thinking the Muppet products will make the rounds in next year's first quarter and gradually increase throught next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they created a PVC set for the Disney Stores. They did one for Up! One of the very few things they did for that movie. I've always thought something like this mockup would be cool

Aw yes, the Up figurine set that has been impossible to find given they only sent a few to some select stores here and there. The one Pixar movie that didn't tsunami every store in the world with endless merchandising crud, and it happens to be my fave Pixar movie

That set woulda been perfect for the Palisades minis, but if there is to be a Muppet pvc set in the tradition of every other franchise they make into pvc sets; it'll probably be closer to the
Bear in the Big Blue House or Winnie The Pooh sets. Hopefully tho, the Star Wars Muppet articulated figures will be the start of a trend. But yeah, pretty much Im not expecting any Muppet stuff until sometime in 2011 in the Disney stores

Jamie im gonna make you design me fake products someday soon


id love a set like that heres hoping

The problem is that 90% of the Muppet stuff was cleared out because they were all seasonal... Beach Towels, office supplies... don't see why the coffee mugs went out, you'd think they'd be a big seller this time of year. And I really am disappointed they cleared out and stopped the Pook-a-looz line. They could have at least given it until after Christmas to clear it out, only cutting the prices down to $10 each... The Muppet ones sold pretty fast once the price went down, but we had all these Peter Pan ones left over.

I still wonder why they felt the Up set would sell so poorly only 1 in a thousand stores got it, and you can tell some greedy employees took first crack at them so they could sell them for 10 times the price as "rare" on E-bay. Especially when they have so many Handy Manny sets they could build a warehouse to store them all WITH boxes of them. Really... overrated Bob the Builder ripoff. At least they have that Dug plush bean bag.

But yeah... They also sometimes have Marvel movie stu... well... okay, they had Iron Man movie stuff and ONLY Iron Man movie stuff and it wasn't exactly Disney exclusive material. Sigh... I really wanted to see a Marvel pook-A-Looz line. The DC imitation P-A-L series looks TERRIBLE.

Did they stop the Pook a Looz line? I know the website has new Christmas Pook a Looz Mickeys & Minnies.

Ive been waiting for the Miss Piggy Pook A Looz, the pictures I've seen are too cute!
