From Muppet Wiki

Fisher-Price produced a series of seven Muppet Show stick puppets in 1978.

The stick puppets can be considered the first Muppet action figures. Each figure comes with a stick that fits in a hole in the figure's back. The stick has the character's name on it.

The following characters were made:

• Kermit, articulated hips
• Miss Piggy, non-articulated finger puppet
• Fozzie, articulated hips
• Gonzo, holding a rose; movable neck, arms and legs
• Rowlf, articulated hips
• Animal, holding drumsticks; movable neck and arms
• Scooter, movable neck, arms and legs

The figures were sold separately. Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie and Rowlf were also available in a boxed set.
