With the Muppets show back in action with much more adult content -- these Muppet toy figurines are a great gift for kids and adults. While the Muppets of the past were cuddly, friendly and G-rated, the new era of Kermit and Miss Piggy witnesses affairs, swearing and require parent approval.
These new figurines from Diamond Select Toys are colorful, six-inch statues that are incredibly detailed down to Gonzo the Great's boutonniere. Each Muppet toy comes in a package of two, usually with a larger character paired up with a smaller, two-inch character. For instance, Kermit the Frog comes along with Robin and Bean Bunny, while Fozzie Bear comes with Scooter.
The action figures have 14 points of articulation, making it possible to adjust their resting stance.
