The colossal following of Star Wars and the Muppets have managed to combine into the ultimate toy through the Star Wars Muppets figurines.
The figurines are truly the perfect tribute to the iconic status of both pop culture groups. The toys are being released this fall, just in time for the release of the Muppets movie. The characters will be sold in packages of two, with Beaker as C-3PO and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as R2-D2, Link Hogthrob as Han Solo paired Fozzy the Bear as Chewbacca, and Sam the Eagle as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Gonzo as Darth Vader with Camilla as the loyal Stormtrooper. Kermit will serve as the main hero of the Star Wars-Muppet mash-up as Luke Skywalker and Miss Piggy as Princess Leia, Skywalker's unknown sister.
The Star Wars Muppets Figurines are the perfect gift for the fans of both in your life.
