"The Muppets" UK Movie Promotions

[markit]

How fantastic, the Disney Store on Bond Street, London has a Big Muppet wall at the back, with keyrings, badges, mugs, bags, notepads, wallet, plush, pyjamas and more, most of it's on the website as well.

Hopefully they'll get more in closer to the films release, but i'm already surprised by the amount they do have, more than they've ever had.

I picked up some really nice key-rings with a metalic painted Kermit and Miss Piggy. Not overly practical as key-rings (turns out Kermit's collar is quite painful when in mental and in pocket) but I'm planning to attach them to a chain to wear instead.

I'm kicking myself for not picking up Walter and Chef when I was in London, but will check local Disney stores for stuff too.

The next issue of the Radio Times (out 21st) is going to have an article about The Muppets in it.

Markit, I haven't been able to get hold of EMPIRE. Could you post it here please? Thank you!

It's out on the 24th not the 21st (sorry).

I haven't got a Disney store near me

I'll have to go on a trip to one some point soon, or just go on to their website.

Sure, i'll post it asap!

Thank you Markit!

I love Walter! That plush is awesome!! Pepe is also a must! And works pretty well to scale with the Master Replicas posers.

Just a couple of quick snaps to show Pepe with the MR posers, ok, so he's maybe a little big And of course Walter too, i wasn't sure about the Walter plush at first, but now having seen the movie, this reminds me of the scene where he's screaming constantly for hours after hearing about Tex Richman knocking down the Muppet theatre, so he makes me smile And Rizzo unfortunately doesn't look too good with the posers, but not a bad plush, just not great!

I haven't got them displayed properly at the moment unfortunately, in between houses and not yet got a room to display everything, but no way are they going in boxes up in the loft!!

Oh yes, Pepe looks fantastic with them there! Walter's slightly bent plush mouth totally reminded me of the scream-scene when I saw him at the Disney store, but I love him so much that I'll allow it.
