If there’s one factor Muppet followers like, it’s stuff. I really like my stuff. And I all the time need extra stuff. However as Muppet followers are far too conscious, there by no means appears to be sufficient stuff out there to fulfill our stuff calls for.
Fortunately, The Jim Henson Firm is making strides to offer us entry to extra merchandise primarily based on properties like Fraggle Rock, Labyrinth, The Darkish Crystal, and Farscape, in addition to a brand new line impressed by Jim Henson’s unique paintings.
The entire new merch could be discovered at store.henson.com, the place you’ll be able to browse for t-shirts, mugs, coasters, water bottles, toys, and extra.
However there are two notable issues concerning the existence of this new on-line retailer that I need to highlight. The primary is {that a} number of the brand new merchandise is print-on-demand, which permits them to offer extra designs and fewer universally well-liked designs. That will increase the choices for what we’ll see on the shop with none firm having to fret about warehouses stuffed with unsold stuff.
The second focal point is that the brand new retailer is designed for buyers all world wide. Usually, licensed merchandise is proscribed by area, so people in North America can solely purchase merch made for North America, Europe in Europe, and so forth. However now, all the pieces is on the market to everybody, that means that Henson stuff that was beforehand made for non-American audiences could be purchased by me, whereas Henson followers in, say, Australia have entry to our native items.
To advertise the brand new retailer, The Henson Firm launched a couple of parody teasers to their social media shops. Check out them under, after which head over to store.henson.com to do some window procuring.
