Hallmark’s new Dream Book was released this week and in it are photos of this year’s Muppet and Sesame Street ornaments.
As you can see for this year's Muppet ornament we’re not just getting Kermit playing his banjo on a log - but an signing ANIMATED Kermit sitting on a log playing "Rainbow Connection" on his banjo.
Hallmark's Sesame Street ornament is also playing it a bit safe with yet another Elmo ornament, this time featuring the little red monster ice skating.
Both will be available in Hallmark's first wave of ornaments in July.
The Jim Henson Company launched an official online store this week.
shop.henson.com launched this week featuring products from The Dark Crystal, Farscape, Fraggle Rock,Labyrinth, and The Jim Henson Signature Collection.
So far the items offered are mainly printed goods like stickers, mugs, shirts, and pillows, with coasters being the first featured items.
I'm not sure, but many seem to be print on demand items.
We're told more collections and items will be added in the coming weeks, including "licensed products that will be accessible to Company’s dedicated global fandom."
To promote the launch a collection of parody ads premiered on the Henson Company’s social media accounts which you can watch HERE,HERE, and HERE and below.
“Our fans all over the world have wanted one definitive place for merchandise from our most beloved properties and shop.Henson.com gives them a wide selection of high-quality, exclusive products they will love,” said Nicole Goldman, Executive Vice President of Branding at The Jim Henson Company. “Encompassing apparel, accessories, housewares, collectibles and more, shop.Henson.com welcomes fans of The Dark Crystal, Farscape, Fraggle Rock, Labyrinth, and of course Jim Henson himself, to discover their new favorite must-have item.”
Hopefully we'll get some Henson Company branded merchandise and access to any extra cast and crew items. That me be a bit of a stretch, but one can hope!
