Are you talking about The Muppaphones? Can't really tell because of my blind batty eyes if those are the characters you're asking about, but they're the only "headlike" characters that come to mind. They were small pink and orange headlike balls of fluff that made up a musical instrument played by Marvin Suggs in the fashion of a Monty Python sketch where they produced music note by note after he pounded each Muppaphone with a mallet. Notable musical performances include "Lady Of Spain" and "Witch Doctor". Hope this helps. :ouch:

This is one of the images the OP posted. None of them look like any actual Muppets to me.

Well, if it isn't one of the :ouch: I'm not sure what else it could be given my blind batty eyes as I mentioned above. Perhaps someone else can step in and help clear up this mystery. :search:
