New Star Wars Muppet Toys Released For Star Wars Weekends

by Amy Ratcliffe on April 1, 2013

It’s almost the time of year again for Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The annual event always means an influx of new Disney Star Wars merchandise, but some of the coolest products born of this mash-up are the mixing of characters from the Wars and The Muppets. As seen above, this year’s line up adds to a few new figures to the collection. Yay Gonzo as Darth Vader! You can only get them at Hollywood Studios for now, but they’ll probably be available at the rest of the parks soon.

Check out a couple more cool toys after the break.

The Muppets Drawn As Characters From Pop Culture

by Amy Ratcliffe on March 6, 2013

When you need the Muppets turned into a bunch of characters from pop culture who you gonna call? Kenny Durkin. The artist has turned Kermit and friends into characters from Ghostbusters, Lord of the Rings, The Walking Dead, and more. It’s a cool idea, and the names of each piece are almost as neat as the actual art. I’d love to see Fozzie the Bear star in the The Wocka Wocka-ing Dead!

“Final Fantasy” With Singing Puppets [Video]

by Nicole Wakelin on December 26, 2012

Right, because who hasn’t imagined the world of Final Fantasy as a musical involving puppets? Comedian Brent Black (Brentalfloss) spent about two years putting together this little musical video tribute to the mages from Final Fantasy. You’ve got the Red, White and Black mages all singing their little hearts out and the only thing funnier than watching them flail around is listening to the words they’re singing.

If you were at SDCC this year, you might have picked up one of Amy Mebberson’s Doctor Who Muppet prints. If not, you can still bask in it’s glory via the image above.

Easy Being Green, It Is Not [Art]

by Sean Fallon on August 1, 2011

Artist Peter de Sève imagines what it would be like if Kermit and Yoda spent some time fishing together on Dagobah. After all, they are technically related. Plus, they both know their way around a swamp.

Muppets Fight for the Iron Throne

by Amy Ratcliffe on June 28, 2011

The Muppets must be bored. They recently invaded Serenity and now they’re showing up in Game of Thrones. They apparently cannot wait for their upcoming movie. Since I like The Muppets, I don’t mind. Yehudi Mercado has cast the muppets carefully. It’s natural that Miss Piggy would take on the role of Cersei Lannister. Er, Queen Cersei Piggister. I wouldn’t get in her way.
