Like the character "Walter" in the new Muppets movie, I grew up loving the Muppets, Kermit and the gang. Also Sesame Street.
Here are some photos with various Muppets toys from the late 1970s and early 1980s. (Sorry, this was "B.E.": before Elmo) Those of you who are my age will probably remember some of these toys.

| Muppets lunch box! And a Pac-Man hat. This was the 80s for sure. |

| Halloween costumes: The Count and Super Grover |
Sesame Street Live! On Stage! These were the coolest shows.
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing. I didn't have as much Muppet stuff as you, but I do remember my lavender Miss Piggy watch and a set of Muppet drinking glasses we got from McDonalds (I think).
ReplyDeleteI think I might have had the same glasses! I do remember having a set from The Great Muppet Caper.
ReplyDeleteAWWWW Tom! Thanks so much for sharing these. Cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the Muppets. I did see their new film and I'm sad to say I just didn't care for it. Was pretty disappointed. Oh well.
Happy New Year to you! : )
