Description
Vintage Baby Kermit the Frog figurine from the Jim Henson Muppet Babies series. This small PVC figure features Kermit in a sitting position, holding his foot, wearing his signature light blue diaper. Measures approximately 2-3 inches tall. Classic 80s nostalgia piece with vibrant green color and screen-accurate details.
Key Features
Nostalgia factor for Gen X and Millennial collectors; Muppet Babies is a cult classic series; Jim Henson licensed character; small size makes it an excellent 'add-on' item or stocking stuffer.
Authenticity Indicators
Look for 'Henson' or 'Disney' embossed on the bottom or back. High confidence in authenticity as these were mass-produced and rarely counterfeited.
Flaws to Note
Paint wear on the eyes (very common for this figure); minor dirt/scuffs in crevices; paint rub on the blue diaper. Most surface marks can be cleaned with a literal magic eraser and water.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for vintage toys), Etsy (if sold as vintage decor), or Mercari. Local Facebook groups may be less effective for a single small item unless bundled.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage Muppet Babies', 'Jim Henson', 'PVC Figure', and '80s Toy'. Clean the figure carefully with a damp cloth before photographing. Taking photos against a clean white background will significantly increase appeal. Ship in a bubble mailer to keep costs low.
