Though these are ugly (I hope they have another UGLY Muppet product contest on Tough Pigs!) I have one that haunted me all my life. To say it's name brings utter guffaws to my mind, making me roll to the floor and laugh like a hyena.



THE SAGGY BAGGY STREET SHARK!!!!!!!

AHHHH AH HAH AHA HAH HA HA HA HA AH AH HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

It was one of those cheap costumes that is in reality a cheap sheet with a character printed on it. It was draped all over the model kid, man. I mean the Streek Sharks are supposed to be all muscular, and to look like the skin is sagging on a tiny skelital frame... You'd have to be there.

I hate these hood ones, and the ones where it looks like they're eating their heads. Safety my BUTT!!!!

BTW, they still have Bear costumes in the Disney catalogue. Kid's size only!

ARRRRRGH!!! Between the hairless Animal, the minimalistic Fozzie (with claws) and Miss Piggy eating the little girl's head, I think even die hard Muppet fans will avoid these!



Worse than Bean bag Kermit!

I wnet to Target yesterday, and I saw the Piggy and Kermit.

I hereby retract my "Worse than Bean bag Kermit" comment.

Despite the fact that it's one of those "safety Hood" type costumes, Piggy and Kermit DO look okay. Kermit's eyes are perfect, and Miss Piggy does indeed have a mouth (not that "eating the kid's head mouth") Even though Piggy's hair was a little on the messy side, it was pretty good! It's just bad product Photography!

Though I'd have to see Fozzie and Animal for myself.

I thought Fozzie looked pretty bad, until I realized it's not a Fozzie costume - it's a "FOZZY " costume, as it says on the site. That's why it looks so bad.

Just clearing that up
