Exclusive Henson Employee Only Kermit Tuxedo Figure on eBay

[shazam]

These were give as gifts only to Henson employees during this past Christmas 2002. Highly exclusive, and a collectible (especially now with the impending sale that has to be completed by month's end) this will be a sought after item for years.

Was that your auction? How'd you score one of those to sell??

I have a tuxedo Kermit. I got it at Toys R Us. Was there another?

holiday kermit

that is basically a repacked holiday kermit with the addition of THE JIM HENSON COMPANY on the top.

The holiday Kermit was only an industry giveaway and is not part of the figure series. They painted Tux Kermit's tie red and vest green, left out the hat and packaged them individually. Anyone with an extra Tux Kermit can make their own Holiday Kermit. Doesn't seem there's much to it but the tag.

Right about creating our own version of it, but I was just curious if that guy works at Henson...which, actually, is a very bad question, because then he'll be bombarded with posts and questions (mostly by me! LOL!) so...

Shazam: DON'T ANSWER MY QUESTION unless you DON'T work for JHC. If you DO, then the response of "Yes" could be detrimental to your visits here...and your friend the bear doesn't want that.

Ack, this item must be really rare then...given JHC is sadly now little more than a broom closet in Manhattan with a handful of employees and a nice stainglass window

I actually think it was given to Henson Co clients as well - not just employee's !

 

[shazam]

Actually, I have another Henson Employee exclusive Kermit for auction now...
