Recently there was a licensing show held in New York, and here are some of the new Muppet products that will be arriving in the coming months.

The 1999 Muppet Parodies Calendar featuring "Men In Plaid" and "The Greenish Patient" will debut this fall from At a Glance.

The Muppets in Space Welch's jars will be on shelves until the end of August.

Westland Giftware will release glittery snowglobes and figurines featuring scenes from The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss, while Cadaco will release snowglobe activity kits.

Bear in the Big Blue House merchandise will be available exclusively at Target stores.

Mattel, Inc. will be producing plush, molded figures for infants and preschoolers, games, and puzzles. The products will be released in the fourth quarter of 1998. The licensing will launch in Target stores in November, 1998. Additional product will be available from Happy Kids (apparel), AME (sleepwear), S. Goldberg (footwear), East End Accessories (accessories), Random House (coloring and activity books), and Simon & Schuster (story and novelty books). Home videos and music will debut late 1998.
