Funko Pop! Collections 2012 - 2024

An assortment of Pop figures from various Henson/Muppet collections.

In 2012 the Funko toy company released their first set of Muppets figures. Since then many other Henson/Muppet related characters have been immortalized in Funko Pop form. In fact there are now so many that it's worth posting a page exclusively about these fun Funko Pop figures! 

Below is a list of all of the Henson/Muppets Funko Pop figures that I know of. I've only included pictures of the figures that I have in my collection as, aside from the first Muppets series, I have almost all of the characters that were made. To date there are 102 Henson/Muppets Funko Pops to collect (counted as boxed figures rather than loose). I have 51 Pops and I'm missing 51 which are mostly just the variants, so this page shows exactly half of the collection. - Mikey

Muppets, 2012

The first Kermit the Frog Funko Pop! from 2012.

As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20! Despite being a huge Muppet fan I did not collect the Muppets Funko Pop! figures back in 2012 as - believe it or not! - I was trying to wean myself off of collecting Muppets at the time, which obviously didn't work out too well! As such I only bought Kermit (shown above) even though I saw the all of the figures when they were on store shelves, so I could have very easily completed the collection! Today these Muppet Pop figures are worth a pretty penny so I've learned my lesson the hard way. Now I buy all of the new Henson/Muppet Funko Pop! figures when they are first released... if I can find them! Unfortunately some have managed to allude me!


Figures in this series include:

01 Kermit the Frog
01 Kermit the Frog, metallic variant (not shown)
02 Miss Piggy (not shown)
02 Miss Piggy, metallic variant (not shown)
03 Gonzo (not shown)
04 Fozzie Bear (not shown)
05 Animal (not shown)
05 Animal, flocked variant, (not shown)
05 Animal, metallic variant (not shown)
06 Dr. Teeth (not shown)
07 Mahna Mahna (not shown)
08 Snowth (not shown)

The Muppets series boxes have all 8 figures shown on the back of the box. Metallic variants noted above were available exclusively at the San Diego Comic Con in 2013. Flocked animal was a Funko Shop exclusive.

Mahna Mahna and Snowths 3 pack, metallic variants, this set included two identical Snowth figures. (not shown)

Muppets Most Wanted, 2014, 2017, 2024

This series was a continuation from the Muppets series. Boxes are similar but have the words "Most Wanted" added in red text to the Muppets logo on the front of the box. Kermit, Miss Piggy and Animal were reissued in Muppets Most Wanted boxes, while Sam and Sweetish Chef were new to the collection. Only these five figures were shown on the back of the boxes.

Figures in this series:

01 Kermit the Frog (not shown)
02 Miss Piggy (not shown)
05 Animal (not shown)
09 Sam the Eagle (not shown)
10 Sweetish Chef (not shown)

11 Superhero Kermit (not shown)
In 2017 Superhero Kermit was added to the series. The box uses the original Muppets logo (without the "Most Wanted" text) yet the back of the box shows only the five characters from the Muppets Most Wanted series. Weird huh? Well, it gets even weirder!...

Kermit and Constantine 2 pack set


In early 2024 a 2 pack set was released as a Hot Topic store exclusive that included a new figure of Kermit with a display base along with Constantine, who is the villain in the Muppets Most Wanted movie. Oddly enough, the Muppets Most Wanted logo was not used on the box and instead it's the original Muppets logo. 



12 Kermit (with mug)

Around Aug/Sept 2024 Funko released a special edition Kermit figure as part of an assortment of exclusive Pop figures available on the Funko website. This is an awesome figure of Kermit making his classic frowning face while holding his coffee mug as seen on the Muppet Show. This figure also seems like a nod to the popular meme of Kermit drinking tea from the Lipton tea commercial. It's interesting to note that this Kermit's frowning mouth is identical to the one used on the figure of Constantine released in the two pack set earlier in the same year, shown above. 


I was happy to see that for this figure Funko went back to using the Muppets category and numbering, making the figure number 12 in the series. Of course, the Muppet Christmas Carol series and the Baby Animal figure should have been added to the Muppet category as well, but for one reason or other they weren't, so we are still at number 12. In addition to going back to the Muppet category numbering, the box for this figure uses a new Muppets logo that is similar to the original Muppet Show title logo.  This is the first time that this logo has been used on a Funko box, as the Muppets 2011 film logo was used previously. Hopefully this all means that Funko will be making more Muppets Pop figures to continue the collection!!!!!


Mikey's Muppet Funko Wish List!
I really wish that Funko would release additional Muppet Pop figures to expand the collection. Among my top picks would be Rowlf... if only one more figure was made I would want it to be Rowlf!... as well as Scooter, Sweetums (as a 6 inch figure) with a small figure of Robin, Animal with his drum set, Dr. Teeth with his keyboard (the 05 Animal and 06 Dr. Teeth figures didn't come with their instruments so these would be different versions), Floyd Pepper, Janice, Zoot, and Lips (this would give us the complete band), as well as Kermit with his banjo. That would make for another set of ten figures. It would also be incredible if they reissued the original 10 Muppet Funko Pops!

My wish list for a third series of ten figures would include Kermit in his reporter outfit holding his microphone with a small figure of the Koozebanian Male alien, the Great Gonzo with a small figure of Camilla the Chicken, Uncle Deadly with a small figure of Pepe, the Muppet Newsman with a small figure of Rizzo, Marvin Suggs and a small figure of his Muppaphone, Gorgon Heap with a small figure of Lenny the Lizard, Thog (as a 6 inch figure), Timmy Monster (6 inch figure), Clifford wearing sunglasses with a small figure of Bean Bunny, and Miss Piggy in black jacket (with leopard spot collar and cuffs) with a small figure of Foo Foo. Lastly, the perfect exclusive figure for the Funko website would be Pops with a small figure of Gaffer the Cat (a Pop! of Pops!). 

They could also make additional Muppets 2 pack sets with Bunsen & Beaker, Walter & 80's Robot, and a regular version of Statler & Waldorf. I'd also love a Pigs in Space 3 pack set with Captain Link, Dr. Strangepork and Miss Piggy in their Pigs in Space outfits, a Frackle 3 pack set with Blue Frackle, Green Frackle and Jaded Green Frackle, and a Veterinarians Hospital 3 pack with Rowlf as Dr. Bob, Nurse Janice, and Nurse Piggy. A 3 pack for Bear on Patrol with Fozzie and Link in police outfits with Banana Nose Maldonado would be hilarious! Muppet Monsters 2 packs would be awesome too, with Beautiful Day Monster and Mean Mama, or Luncheon Counter Monster with Big Mean Carl. 

Additional figures would be Gonzo as Dearth Nadir, the Koozebanian Phoob, a Pigs in Space crew member pig with a small figure of the Koozebanian Female, Animal with a white Muppet bunny, Beauregard with a small figure of a Muppet penguin, Lew Zealand and his boomerang fish, Sopwith the Camel (6 inch figure), Crazy Harry, the Jim Henson Muppet, Sam the Eagle in Uncle Sam outfit, Behemoth with a small figure of Shakey Sanchez, Sweetish Chef with a Lobster Bandito, and Mildred Huxtetter with a small figure of Droop. Muppet Treasure Island Funko Pops would also be amazing. 

For the Rides series they could do Dr. Teeth in the Muppet Bus, Miss Piggy on a motorcycle from The Great Muppet Caper, Fozzie in his Winnebago from the Muppet Movie, and Kermit on his bicycle. That would be such an amazing collection!

Sesame Street, 2015, 2017

In order to determine if there was a market for Sesame Street Funko Pop figures, Super Grover was released in 2015 by himself as a test figure. This is why the back of the Super Grover box is different from all the others and does not show the rest of the collection.

The back of series 1 boxes

This was followed later on in 2015 by four more figures to complete series one. The back of the boxes for these four additional figures shows only five characters. 

Series 1 figures: Super Grover, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, Bert and Ernie

The regular green Oscar figure shown next to the orange Oscar variant and Herry Monster.

An orange Oscar figure was also released in 2015 as an exclusive variant available only through Underground Toys or Entertainment Earth. As such, the orange Oscar can be found in boxes with either one of those company's stickers on the front. The box shown above has the Underground Toys sticker. Herry Monster was not released until 2017 as part of the Funko Specialty Series, as shown by the sticker.

Series 1
01 Super Grover
01 Super Grover, flocked variant Funko limited edition of 5000 (not shown)
02 Cookie Monster

04 Bert

05 Ernie

The back of series 2 boxes and the Herry Monster box show the complete set of all ten characters. Herry Monster is the 11th figure and was a later addition. As the Orange Oscar was released after series 2 was available it has all ten figures on the back of the box along with some text explaining why he is orange.

Series 2 figures: Big Bird, Count, Elmo, Grover, and Mr. Snuffleupagus
Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus are six inch figures

In 2017 Herry Monster was added to the collection. He was released as an exclusive figure in the Funko Specialty Series, as shown above.
 
11 Herry Monster

A Pop figure of Jim Henson with Ernie was made in 2019 as part of the Funko Icons series, and is shown further below (for the most part I've listed the releases in order by date).

Elmo on Trike, Target exclusive (not shown)
Elmo on Trike, flocked variant, Funko website exclusive (not shown)

In 2024 a Target stores exclusive of Elmo riding a tricycle was available. A flocked variant is also available on the Funko website here: Buy Pop! Rides Elmo on Trike (Flocked) at Funko.

Mikey's Sesame Funko Pop Wish List
I'm still hoping that Funko will add more Sesame characters to the collection some day! There are still a lot of popular characters that could be made such as Two-Headed Monster, Guy Smiley, Sam the Robot, Roosevelt Franklin, Sherlock Hemlock, Forgetful Jones with Buster and Clementine (as a 3 pack set), Lefty the Salesman, Frazzle, Grundgetta Grouch, Telly & Baby Natasha 2 pack set, Barkley the Dog, Honkers in various colours (green, purple, pink, blue, orange), Twiddle Bugs Family (one Twiddle Bug could be packed in as a mini figure with different characters), Yip-Yip Aliens, Gonger & Baker Cookie Monster 2 pack set, Cookie Monster holding a letter "C", Abby's Flying Fairy School 3 pack set (with Abby Caddaby, Gonnigan, and Blogg), Elmo holding a fish bowl with his pet fish Dorothy, Zoe (no costume), Zoe in ballerina outfit, Rosita, Prairie Dawn, Betty Lou, Biff & Sully 2 pack set, Magic Mumford, Waiter Grover & Mr. Johnson 2 pack set, Bruno & Oscar the Grouch 2 pack set, Ernie and Bert 2 pack set (Ernie in a bathtub with Rubber Duckie, Bert wearing brown hat holding a pigeon from "Doin' the Pigeon"), Alice Snuffleupagus, and Hoots the Owl with a saxophone. It would also be super cool if they made a Pop figure of Mr. Hooper! I would love to collect all of these!

1526 Elmo with Rocco, Funko exclusive (not shown)

In Aug or Sept 2024 Funko released their third figure of Elmo, available on the Funko website. Buy Pop! Elmo with Rocco at Funko. 

For some bizarre reason Funko did not put this figure into the Sesame Street category or continue the numbering from that collection, instead they put it into the Television category with a crazy number, 1526! Technically, this should have been figure number 12 of the Sesame Street collection. It baffles me as to why Funko doesn't keep on top of their own categories and numbering system, especially as the whole point of Funko Pops is that they are collectors items???

COMING SOON!!!!

1609 Cookie Monster as Alistair Cookie
1610 Abby Cadabby
1611 Elmo and Tango
1612 Big Bird in Nest 

In Aug or Sept 2024 Funko announced the upcoming release of four new Sesame Street POP figures. I like the designs of the figures for this new series, but unfortunately Abby Cadabby is the only new character. Funko also didn't use their own Sesame Street category or numbering for this series, as these should have been figures number 13 to 16 in the Sesame Street category. Instead they put these figures in the television category while Big Bird is in the Deluxe category. In any case, these are all very nice looking figures and I would like to get them all, however Funko doesn't take orders through their website from Canada, which is soooooooooooooooooooooo incredibly stupid!!!!! If you live outside of Canada you can buy the figures here: All Funko Products | Funko

I'm glad that Funko is making more Sesame figures, but I would prefer to have characters that they haven't already made as I mentioned in my wish list above. I'm especially not very keen on having so many Elmo figures.

Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, 2019


The back of Mira's box is the only one in the set that doesn't show the rest of the collection.

Mira and the Chamberlain were not shown in the assortment on the back of the boxes. Neither were the variations of Deet or the Hunter, or the two pack set.

Back view to show all the detail that went into these figures. It's quite impressive! 

Here is a comparison of the Chamberlain figures from the Movie series and the TV series. They are the same figure painted differently, and with a different weapon.

Fraggle Rock, 2017

The complete collection of seven Fraggle Rock figures. Uncle Traveling Matt and Sprocket were later additions to the collection, which is why they are not shown in the selection of characters on the back of the boxes. Uncle Matt was released as a Funko Specialty Series exclusive figure and therefore was harder to find. Sprocket was released at the same time as Uncle Matt and was also a hard to find figure.


518 Gobo with Doozer
519 Red with Doozer
519 Red with Doozer, flocked variant (not shown)
520 Boober with Doozer
521 Wembley with Cotterpin
522 Mokey with Doozer
570 Uncle Traveling Matt
571 Sprocket

The first five Fraggle Rock figures to be released each came packaged with a Doozer figure: Gobo, Red, Boober, Wembley, and Mokey.

Here is a closer view of the Doozers

Fraggle Rock 5 pack box set (not shown), flocked variant, set includes flocked versions of Gobo, Red, Boober, Wembley and Mokey. Doozers were not included.

I would love it if Funko would make a 6 inch figure of Jr. Gorg! I was really hoping for one when this series was still in stores, but alas it never happened! It would be awesome to add that to the collection!

Little Shop of Horrors, 2018

Although Little Shop of Horrors was not a Jim Henson project, puppeteer Frank Oz who performed Miss Piggy, Animal, Fozzie, Bert, Cookie Monster and many other Muppets, was the director of the film so I tend to think of Little Shop collectables as belonging in my Jim Henson/Muppet collection.


653 Baby Audrey II (not shown)
654 Audrey II (full grown)
654 Audrey II, (full grown) chase edition with blood (not shown)
655 Seymore
656 Audrey with display base
657 Orin

Audrey II (full grown), Seymore, Audrey, and Orin

The sculpting detail for the Audrey II figure is very impressive!


In 2020 Funko released a Spooky Horror Advent Calendar which included several mini Funko Pop figures. Among them was a figure of Audrey II.

Jim Henson, 2019 

Among my favourite of all the Funko Pops shown on this page is the Jim Henson figure, which is part of the Funko Icons series. It's very cool that Funko made him available with Ernie or with Kermit. I'd also love to have one of him with Rowlf the Dog if ever they make another variant figure. Funko has yet to make a Pop figure of Rowlf, so that would be cool! It would also be amazing if they did the same idea as this with a Pop figure of Frank Oz that came with Bert, Miss Piggy and Yoda.

19 Jim Henson with Ernie
20 Jim Henson with Kermit the Frog

The back of the boxes show just the one figure that came in the box rather than showing both as a series which is unusual for Funko. I love the Muppet Show theatre vibe that they went with for the box art! Both Kermit and Ernie have appeared on the Muppet Show. Ernie made a cameo on two episodes, the first one with Bert, the second one with a group of his Sesame Street pals. Both characters also appeared on Sesame Street as Kermit was a regular character on the show in the 70's and 80's, as well as on the very first episode.

The Jim Henson figures out of the boxes: With Ernie, and with Kermit.

A closer view to show that Kermit's irises were unfortunately painted on the top of his eyes rather than the front. Still a very cool figure none the less.

Dinosaurs, 2020



959 Earl Sinclair
960 Fran Sinclair
961 Baby Sinclair (not shown)
962 Robbie Sinclair
963 Charlene Sinclair


Dinosaurs Pop figures out of the box. A lot of detail went into the sculpting. I especially like the figure of Robbie and how they did his hair spikes.



Robbie even has graphics on the back of his jacket! That's very impressive dedication to detail by the artist's at Funko!

Muppet Christmas Carol, 2023


This is a really cool series of Muppet Funko Pops, I'm really happy to have them in my collection. Unfortunately, instead of continuing the numbering from the Muppets category of Pop figures seen at the top of this page, these Muppet Christmas Carol figures were numbered as part of Funko's movies category. I know this isn't really a big deal, but the collector in me who likes to have everything match as a complete set is just freaking out about this! LOL These should have been numbered 13 to 17 if you include the Jim Henson with Kermit figure (shown above) as number 12.


1453 Fozziwig (Fozzie Bear) with display base
1454 Mrs. Cratchit (Miss Piggy)
1455 Scrooge
1456 Charles Dickens (Gonzo) and Rizzo
1456 Charles Dickens (Gonzo) and Rizzo, flocked variant, Amazon exclusive (not shown)
1457 Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim (Kermit the Frog and Robin) with display base

The Marley Brothers 2 pack, (Statler and Waldorf)
The Marley Brothers 2 pack, glow in the dark variant (Statler and Waldorf) (not shown)

Miss Piggy, Gonzo with Rizzo, Kermit with Robin, Fozzie, and Scrooge.
The Fozzie and Kermit figures came with bases to keep the figures standing up.


For some reason the Miss Piggy figure has an extra insert piece for the packaging, shown on the far left.

Statler and Waldorf as the Marley Brothers

The Marley Brothers figures come with stands to keep them floating.
Side and back view are shown below.



Muppets Mayhem, 2023

In my humble opinion as an obsessed Muppet fanatic, the Muppets Mayhem TV series was by far the best Muppet production to be made since the Muppet Show ended. No contest!!! I just loved, loved, loved this series! It captured the spirit of the Muppets perfectly, so I was especially happy when I heard that Funko was going to be making this Baby Animal Funko Pop! 

As with the Muppet Christmas Carol set, for some bizarre reason Funko did not bother to use the Muppets category for this figure and instead gave it the number 1492. They didn't even give it a category at all! Technically this should have been number 18 in the Muppets category.


1492 Baby Animal

Here's Baby Animal out of the box. He's really not very big but he's adorable!!!

It would have been awesome if the whole Electric Mayhem band was made as figures for this series. Only Animal and Dr. Teeth were included in the original Muppets Funko Pops series, so we still need Janice, Floyd, Zoot and Lips to complete the set. A new version of Dr. Teeth with his keyboard and Animal with his drum set would have been cool as well. I would have definitely collected them.

And that's all there is for now to post. With any luck Funko will surprise us with more Muppet Pops figures soon!!!
