Fisher-Price
(1981)
Dress-Up
Kermit and Piggy Dolls
The
Dress-Up Kermit and Piggy dolls are well-made and had outfits that were
sold separately. The Dress-Up Kermit doll came in his Muppet News trenchcoat
and brown hat. The Dress-Up Miss Piggy doll came with a purple and silver-spotted
gown with matching turban.
Dress-Up
Outfits
A red sleepwear
outfit for Kermit was sold separately featuring red-and white striped
pajamas and cap along with a red velvet robe.
Miss Piggy's
extra outfits included a garden party gown (a white-flowered dress with
big hat), a sailor suit (red and white suit with white hat), and a "Pigs
in Space" outfit (silver and blue jumpsuit with gloves and boots).
Gonzo
Beanbag
The
Gonzo beanbag is about six inches tall. He wears a shiny white daredevil
outfit, and his legs and feet are covered with a shiny red fabric. He
has a bright red cape.
Because
he was released a year later than the other beanbag dolls, he is more
rare than the others and can be quite difficult to find in good condition.
Fisher-Price
(1982)
Dress-up
Gonzo Doll
Fisher-Price's
final Muppet doll was an addition to the Dress-Up collection. Gonzo was
strangley not included in the original doll line, and the Dress-Up doll
is the only full-sized Gonzo that Fisher-Price ever produced.
Dress-Up
Outfits
There
was an additional outfit for the Gonzo Dress-Up Doll, "Admiral of
the Fleet". It features Gonzo in a purple stunt suit. Kermit and
Gonzo's clothes are interchangeable.
Additional outfits
for the Kermit and Piggy Dress-Up Dolls included a white ballet outfit for
Piggy and a western cowboy outfit for Kermit.
Applause
(1987)
In
1987, Applause released a set of beautiful puppets to coincide with the
new Muppet storybook special, "The Tale of the Bunny Picnic".
Bean Bunny Puppet
The Bean Bunny puppet is really cute, just like Bean! He has a red vest,
blue scarf and a happy expression.
Great Grandmother
Great
Grandmother has a nice face with little plastic glasses, a purple kerchief
over her head and ears, a knitted tan shawl, a flowered dress, red-and-yellow
striped stockings, and black shoes.
Bean's
Sister Twitch
Twitch has
a beautiful pink dress. She loves pansies and pickled parsnips and pink
dresses. She's the perfect companion for a little girl...or a big girl
who hasn't forgotten the magic of bunnies.

Swedish
Chef Promotional Doll
Another
extremely rare and sought-after doll is the Swedish Chef doll made by
Post Cereals as a promotion for
Croonchy Stars, the Swedish Chef cereal. He could be ordered for $19.99
directly from Post Cereals.
This
is the first Chef doll ever produced, and it's marvelous. He's a soft
doll, with plastic head, hands and feet. He's wearing his white chef's
hat, with a pink bowtie, blue striped shirt, red checked pants, and a
white apron that says "The Swedish Chef." A wooden rolling pin
and spoon are attached to his hands.
