Tsum Tsum Tuesday was yesterday and, if you're like me, you missed it because of a horrific sinus infection. So, for those of you browsing the internet at home because you're still contagious, here's the recap what was released yesterday for Tsum Tsum Tuesday: Muppets!

This past Tuesday, the collection released was: Muppets
How to Get it: This collection is available in your local Disney Store or online.
What it Costs: These Tsum Tsums are all $5.95 each.
What's Included in this Release: There are 7 mini Tsum Tsums in this release. To my knowledge, this is the first time Muppets have made their way into Tsum Tsum form so this is a very exciting first! This collection focuses on the classic, core Muppet characters we all know and love from the original 1970's Muppet Show. Let's take a look:
Kermit: Clearly, we can't have Muppets without Kermit. He's the glue that holds their big, messy, adorable circus together.

He's just a classic. It may not be easy being green, but it is easy to see why he's so beloved. Just look at his little froggy face!
Miss Piggy: The woman behind the frog. We all know that Kermit's success would mean nothing without his best pig supporting him. I choose to ignore the breakup from the short-lived recent tv show. Does anyone know if they got back together before that got canceled? Please let me know in the comments.

I just love Miss Piggy. In some ways I feel that she is a true feminist role model. She is feminine yet so strong. She has her own career, but is always willing to make time for a relationship. She pays attention to fashion and always looks impeccable (impigable?), but also practices martial arts (she has a mean karate chop). She struggles with her weight, but dresses to flatter her fuller figure. Really, there's so much to admire in Miss Piggy. So Stylish. So Angry.
Gonzo: We don't know what he is, but we do know that we love him.

Unhealthy obsession with chickens aside, Gonzo's fun-loving, carefree nature and his complete disregard for personal safety have made him a fan-favorite for generations.
Rowlf: Rowlf is a dog who can play the piano like none other.

I'm really glad Rowlf made this list. Although his roles in several of the Muppet movies have been small or almost non-existent, I've always really like him. More level headed than other Muppets, he's like that musician friend we all had in college. That guy who seems like he's always sitting in the quad strumming a guitar, ready to listen, but almost disturbingly unworried about any of his own exams. I might be reading too much into this character.
Fozzy Bear: He bearly made the cut. Get it? "bear"ly? Get it? *sound of tomatoes hitting stage*

The originator of "dad jokes" Fozzy Bear is the jubilant jokester of the jovial Muppets. I love Fozzy's jokes and I never really understood as a kid why people were booing him. I now understand that my love of puns is not appreciated by most of the world and that I am not cool... but I still think Fozzy is.
Animal: Aside from Rowlf, Animal is the only band member featured in this group. A drummer with rage issues, this is the fuzziest, cutest version of the "wild thing" you're likely to find.

It's almost strange to see the violent, unhinged drummer in such a cutesy form. He does look malevolently happy though.
The Swedish Chef: Last, but far from least, we have the chef with dubious cuisine and limitless exuberance:

Can I get a Bork Bork?! I just have to say, those eyebrows are the stuff of legend. I want to write fan fiction about them. I feel that they would be like really snooty food critics constantly analyzing and hipster-commentating on the "sourcing" of the fish and other food parts flying past them as the chef attempts to cook. Or maybe I'll just stick to merch blogging.
Worthy of Note: If you're sad about the lack of Janice, Dr. Teeth, Rizzo, Beaker, and others, take heart. Usually Disney does multiple releases for their most popular intellectual property so, there is a decent chance that there will be more Muppet Tsum Tsums released in the future. Quite likely other characters will be released eventually. Just be patient. Although, if you have a character you REALLY want to see, you can always try writing to Disney to politely ask them to make it. There are no guarantees but, the Disney company does pay attention to customer feedback so, it's worth a try.
