The Muppets – Bendy Toys Ltd (1977–1978)

Bendy Toys Ltd produced its The Muppet Show character range in Britain during 1977 and 1978, shortly after Jim Henson’s television series became an international success. The figures were constructed from moulded foam latex over an internal bendable wire armature, giving them a distinctive soft-bodied appearance and allowing the characters to be posed. They were primarily distributed in the UK and Europe.
