Mr. Johnson and Harvey Kneeslapper didn't join until 1971. When the show first started, they only had the Green, Fat Blue, Pumpkin, Orange Gold, Lavender and Purple Anything Muppet patterns. Then in 1970, they designed the Large Lavender Live Hand puppet, and then in the mid-1980s came the live-hand Fat Blue puppet. Then in 1989 they introduced the Large Orange Live Hand puppet pattern, and in 1991 they introduced Orange Gold Live Hand. Then came a Live-Hand Pumpkin puppet (think Howie Eatswell!), a brown AM (used mainly for Kingston Livingston the Third), and the Pear-Shaped Fuschia one (live-hand and rod arm variants), and now we have a pink live-hand AM, based after Prairie Dawn's mother.
