Doll-A-Day 2017 #338:McDonald's Christmas Muppet Babies

  Ok. I lied. I said this was going to be a winter themed doll, but I changed my mind. I messed up the pictures for the winter doll I was going to do, but I had these pictures I took of these guys.

They're sort of wintery. They're Christmasy.

They are obviously Miss Piggy...

...Kermit, and Fozzie.

What you may not notice is that they are meant to be the Muppet Babies versions. "Muppet Babies" was a popular animated series at the time,airing originally from 1984 to 1991. There were a lot of dolls, toys and other products released from it. Emma was born in 1991, and I bought plenty of Muppet babies toys and stuff for her. Her first calendar, which I kept track of her baby milestones on, was a Muppet Babies one.
They're McDonald's toys.

Miss Piggy was still in her bag, but the bag is disintegrating more every time it's touched. Fozzie is missing his floppy red hat, and Kermit is missing his Santa hat. This is what happens when dolls have removable clothes! Kermit's vest and Fozzie's scarf are also removable. Miss Piggy's bonnet isn't removable, but she has comb-able hair.

They were sold in 1988,in part to raise money for Ronald McDonald House. They weren't Happy Meal toys, but were sold separately as an option when making any McDonald's purchase.

Kermit and Fozzie are about 7 1/2" tall, but Piggy is about 8 1/2".
You can see two different commercials for the toys HERE and HERE.
  Tomorrow we'll see that wintery doll.

Doll-A-Day 2017 #90:Emma's Collection Part 2,Muppets Pop Vinyl,McDonalds,and More

  Yesterday we started a look at Emma's collection of various figures and toys. Today in part 2 we're checking out her Muppets.

Animal and Fozzie hanging out with a recent Goodwill find, Jazzie.

Emma got her love of Muppets from me. I always loved The Muppets,and when I was pregnant with Emma I stocked up on Muppet teethers and rattles and Emma's first calendar,on which I kept track of her first tooth, first word, first step, was Muppet babies. For Emma's first Christmas I gave her a Kermit doll I'd had in my own collection. When she was tiny she played with my collection of early 70's Sesame Street finger puppets in the bath every night.

And I've started her on her own collection of identical finger puppets (The three on the right.).She also has McDonald's Muppets toys and the Kermit on a motorcycle I think came form her visit to Disneyworld when she went with the orchestra, in high school.

I never really had a favourite Muppet,but Emma developed an affection for Gonzo.
 

And his buddy Rizzo the Rat.

She's also pretty fond of Janice from the Electric mayhem band, here with band leader Doctor Teeth.

The Fozzie was a recent Ebay purchase. She says she's disappointed because she doesn't think he's a very good Fozzie, but I covet him!

Emma also has these Muppets Minimates and a Kermit Pez:

And you saw the Super Grover Pop Vinyl.Well, he's not her only Sesame Street Pop Vinyl.

Super Grover, Bert, and Ernie Pop Vinyls.

And there are a few random Muppet things...

The thing on the right is a picture holder she got at Disneyworld.

Tomorrow we'll see what Emma has for Shrunken Saturday.
