Hallmark Collection 2015: Part 6 - Wave 1 Round Up!

There's a few more items at hallmark stores that aren't easily categorized. 

First up is the Animal Birthday Ceramic Cupcake.Which, when opened plays features an instrumental version of The Birthday Song.

This Kermit the Frog Picture Frame features a modern rainbow design that matchs the
Rainbow Connection Wall Art.

It holds a 6" x 4" photo and contains "The lovers, the dreamers, & me. — Kermit the Frog" on the inner mat.  It has a nice illustration of Kermit playing the banjo on the bottom right corner, only wish he was playing left handed!

To cap off wave one, we have the Time Flies Clock.

The clock replaces the traditional numbers or roman numerals with Kermit peaking up behind the phrase "Time's fun when you're having flies." Which is a great way to think of time passing between now and when the next wave of Hallmark items are released. 

Funko Muppet Cupcakes Cancelled?

We haven't gotten official word yet, but Funko's Kermit and Miss Piggy Cupkake Keepsakes may become the latest entry in our "Never Made Muppets" series. 

After many product delays we received this notice from Entertainment Earth last week:

"We have been notified by the manufacturer that we will not be receiving any additional shipments of Muppets Kermit the Frog Cupcake Keepsakes Mini-Figure, (Item FU3315) and Muppets Miss Piggy Cupcake Keepsakes Series 1 Mini-Figure, (Item FU3313) because they have discontinued production of this item at this point in time."  

At this time all links to Entertainment Earth's listing come back with a "NO PRODUCT FOUND" message. 

If any were actually made it was in VERY limited quantities.

We're still waiting to hear back from Funko, but it's not looking good for these figures.
