Design-Your-Own Muppet Kit

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

FAO Schwartz has a new, fabulous gift idea: Design your very own custom Muppet Whatnot. Even better, there are two ways to do it: either right online or, if you want something to wrap for under the tree, with this Design kit.

What you'll get: a package of instructions and vinyl fashions, body parts and hairstyles so the recipient can mix and match everything until they get it juuuust right. Then they fill in the online order form and in 3-4 weeks, their very own 16" hand-and-rod Muppet (just like the 'real' ones!) arrives in a clear plastic backpack.

Absolutely awesome.
