Disney Store Goes Patriotic with Sam Eagle Merch!

To help celebrate America's upcoming 250 birthday, Disney released a line of Sam Eagle merchandise as part of their Americana Collection. 

The line includes not only the previously announced Sam plush and keychain, but also a mug and shirt. 

Sam Eagle Plush Keychain Bag Charm

 

It's time to meet the Muppets as the curtain rises on our plush keychain series from Disney Store, each sold separately. With a soft, fluffy Sam Eagle mini plush attached to a split ring keychain and clasp, you can use him to hold your keys or as a bag charm. Please stand and salute!

Sam Eagle Stainless Steel Travel Mug

Sam Eagle is feeling ''Distinctly Patriotic'' as he celebrates the United States of America's ''Semiquincentennial'' with this travel mug. The proud preening Muppet is pictured on this stainless steel cup with handle and lid. Please stand and raise your cup as you join Sam in saluting this landmark anniversary!

Sam Eagle Plush

Stand and salute for our 16" plush Sam Eagle. This ever-serious symbol of freedom may seem to have a stern expression but he's really a softy underneath. Just ask any of The Muppets. Sam's simulated feathers, tail, claws and trademark unibrow are sure to get him voted as most likely to be selected by you! After all, ''It's the American Way!''

Sam Eagle America Since 1776 Independence Day T-Shirt

On the Fourth of July or any patriotic occasion, celebrate the USA with this official The Muppets t-shirt, featuring a star-spangled red, white and blue image of Sam the American Eagle with his name and the message "Since 1776 -- America". A great Independence Day gift for a Disney, The Muppets or Sam Eagle fan, and perfect for wearing matching The Muppets USA t-shirts with friends or family groups at your 4th of July parade, cookout, or summer vacation trip to Disneyland, Walt Disney World, or another fun travel destination.

You can order these and more from Disney's Americana Collection at the links above from The Disney Store. 

New Muppet*Vision Sam Eagle Drinkware!

Even though Disney announced Muppet*Vision is closing, they also just released new Sam Eagle drinkware inspired by the attraction. 

There is a Stanley-style medal tumbler featuring an illustration of Sam above his classic line in the film “A salute to all nations, but mostly America.”

There's also a mug with the same art work. 

You can find both at the Celebrity 5&10 store inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Just in time for July 4th, (though you won't actually get it until January) is the next Muppet Geeki Tiki, Sam Eagle!

 From Geeki Tikki:

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Muppets.

The Sam Eagle Geeki Tikis® mug stands an impressive 9in tall x 3.5in wide, features a boisterous blue glaze with white and black accents and most importantly, proudly adorns the RED, WHITE & BLUE of our country's American flag, holding one flag in his hand while the other is wrapped around his towering top hat. Sam Eagle holds 17oz.

Each Geeki Tikis® mug features beautifully sculpted detailing true to the character it is paying homage to, is crafted from high-quality ceramic, and is sure to make your next beverage Muppetational! HAND WASH ONLY.

Experience the aloha with every sip!

New Disney Park Muppet Items!

While there isn't a ton of Muppet items available at the Disney Parks these days, there are a few new items to check out. 

Miss Piggy Ears Headband:

This headband features Miss Piggy's ears, boa, bow, and pearls with the words "It's All About Moi" on the side. 

Muppets Fozzie Bear Baseball Cap:

This baseball cap features looks just like Fozzie's face complete with his hat .. which is essentially a hat on top of a hat!

It features Fozzie's catchphrase "Wocka Wocka!" with a banana peel on the side, 

and, in a nice creative decision, the polka dot pattern of his tie is the underside of the lid!

Muppet Vision Piece of History Pin:

This pin features the original Muppet*Vision 3D logo and balloon with a what Disney claims to be is an actually piece from the recently removed Muppet Vision balloon.

With an edition size of 1500, and the pieces so small, one has to wonder if that's really legit, or what happened to the rest of it?

Independence Day 2018 Sam the Eagle Pin: 
Finally, we have a another limited edition pin. This one limited to only 500 and features Sam Eagle celebrating Independence Day. 

Unfortunately, none are currently available through official Disney online shopping options, though some can be found in the parks themselves and through other third party means.
