They had real puppet Baby Muppets in Muppets Take Manhatten i think, the others have been animation. It was a flashback scene that led to the cartoon.

I don't believe that Mattel holds an exclusive contract. They have huge deal, but not exclusive.

My wife and I really like the Muppet Babies scene in MTM, not the animated series, but the actual puppets.

Personally, if they were to be done I would like them to be in a playset format. With the playroom from the MTM scene, and maybe 3-4 small figures instead of 1 regular size. Kind of like how they do the special Simpsons sets with multiple figures. I do however think there are plenty of other playsets that should be made first though. But if it's going to be done, this is what I'd like to see.

I think Luke touched on a nerve that if Muppet Babies were to be produced, it would be through MTM. I know Ken has stated he would like to do some stuff from movies and cannot, but maybe movie deals might be coming along later on. I still say it's S.S. though. But I can guarentee Palisades would never make an animated M.B. line. If they did I would lose a lot of respect for them. :big_grin:

So I want to ask some things...

What would be the actual difference between for instance "Baby Kermit from Piggy's Fantasy" and "Baby Kermit from Muppet Babies"? The texture? What?

The Baby Muppets from Piggy's Fantasy were Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Scooter and Rowlf... In Muppet Family Christmas however a Baby Animal appears in the old video... If Palisades chooses to to do a line with the Baby Muppets that were once a puppet (not only a cartoon) these would have to be the only ones available, right?

Have there been any appearences of other Baby Muppets in a puppet form?

How many more Baby Muppets had a cartoon version?

Thank you!
A lot of the other questions were answered, but yes, I would consider the Muppet Family Christmas appearance the same group as the ones in Muppets Take Manhattan. (This is one of the oft-edited appearances in later releases of MFC)
These I would expect to be produced with the same "felt" texture as the current figures.
