Funko has officially announced a brand-new wave of The Muppets Funko Pop! Vinyl figures.
What’s New in Pop! Television: The Muppets
This release adds nine exciting figures to the lineup, ranging from core characters like Kermit, Piggy, and Gonzo to fan favorites such as Pepe the Prawn and Statler & Waldorf. The wave even includes exclusives, flocked variants, and a deluxe figure, making it one of the most diverse Muppets drops to date.
What makes this wave even more interesting is that Funko has chosen to classify these under the Pop! Television series rather than the original Pop! The Muppets series, which previously housed older releases. In true Funko fashion, the numbering is inconsistent, with several numbers being reused from other franchises.
While this may frustrate collectors who value sequence accuracy, it has become something of a Funko tradition.
Whether you are a lifelong fan of Jim Henson’s creations or simply want to expand your collection with colorful characters, this wave captures the heart and humor of The Muppets perfectly.
About The Muppets
The Muppets have been a cultural icon since their television debut in the 1950s, evolving into one of the most beloved entertainment franchises in the world. Created by Jim Henson, the puppet troupe became a household name through The Muppet Show, followed by feature films, specials, and numerous spin-offs.
What makes The Muppets so enduring is their mix of slapstick comedy, satire, music, and warmth. Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and countless others have entertained generations with their antics, often joined by celebrity guest stars.
Even today, The Muppets continue to find relevance through Disney+ content, nostalgic re-releases, and their timeless sense of humor.
For collectors, The Muppets have been represented in Funko’s catalog before, but availability has often been limited, with certain figures becoming highly sought-after. This new wave breathes life into the line, giving fans another chance to celebrate their favorite characters in Pop! form.
New The Muppets Funko Pop! Vinyl Figures
The new wave of The Muppets Pop! figures features nine unique releases that will appeal to both casual fans and serious collectors. The lineup includes:
- Kermit with Banjo (Deluxe) – capturing the classic image of Kermit strumming his banjo, a must-have for fans of The Rainbow Connection.
- Dr. Bob – A Funko Shop exclusive showcasing the comedic veterinarian persona made famous in Muppet skits.
- First Mate Piggy – Miss Piggy takes the spotlight in a nautical-inspired outfit that highlights her larger-than-life personality.
- Fozzie Bear – Everyone’s favorite joke-telling bear returns with a design that brings his classic look to life.
- Gonzo – Featuring his eccentric style and unmistakable nose, Gonzo is one of the central pieces in this wave.
- Pepe the Prawn (Flocked) – A Specialty Series exclusive, the flocked texture makes this a standout for collectors.
- Janice with Chicken – A Funko Shop exclusive highlighting Janice’s quirky character paired with her pet chicken.
- Waldorf & Statler (2 Pack) – A Specialty Series release featuring the legendary hecklers from the balcony, finally available together.
While it is unusual that Funko placed these under the Pop! Television line instead of the dedicated Pop! The Muppets series, the figures still carry the charm and attention to detail expected by collectors.
It also continues Funko’s pattern of recycling numbers across unrelated franchises, which will no doubt cause some confusion but adds to the long-running quirks of collecting Pop! figures.
Pre-order The Muppets Funko Pop! Vinyl Figures
The Muppets Funko Pop! figures are available for pre-order at major retailers, including Amazon, Entertainment Earth, and specialty Funko shops. The exclusive Dr. Bob and Janice with Chicken will only be sold through Funko Shop, so collectors will need to move quickly once it goes live.
Collectors are encouraged to secure their orders early, as exclusives and Specialty Series figures often sell out quickly. With nine figures in total, this wave represents one of the most substantial Muppets releases yet, giving fans a golden opportunity to complete their sets or start fresh with iconic characters.
