You might be familiar with the classic SNL skit parody of Blue Oyster Cult and Christopher Walken continuously insisting on “More Cowbell.”
Well, at DFB, we are Christopher Walken continuously shouting into the universe for “More Muppets,” and the universe has finally answered back!
We are a tight-knit group of writers and kindred spirits. We each have a special place in our hearts for our favorite nuggets of Disney memories, attractions, food (of course, we are DFB, after all), collectibles, and intellectual property. Some of us are die-hard Star Wars fans, some of us are classic Disney animated lovers, and we will often debate over who is the strongest Avenger or even have thought-provoking cross-universe conversations about Darth Vader vs. Thanos. We share fun internet finds with each other — and also with you, because we know you’ll love what we find, too! And yes, there are a few things that we can all put down our personal opinions about and debate strategies. Things like our love for plastic cheese, a great Target find or Amazon deal, our unending love of the Hall of Presidents, and yes, dear reader, The Muppets.
We LOVE the Muppets! Ok, some of us more than others, but the love is there! And we’re always looking (and wishing, and hoping, and dreaming) for new and fun ways to have a little more Muppets in our days. And when we saw this new collection available for pre-order, the DFB staff might’ve just broken the internet when we all crashed the site with our pre-order mania. And take a look at these — can you blame us?!
This collection is three things we love in one!
- MUPPETS,
- Tiki mugs, and
- Collectibles!
When you’re battin’ 3-for-3, you gotta go for it!
This Muppet Tiki Mug collection has 5 pieces, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Animal. And yes, you do have to order them all separately. You can get one of each for a full collection or just your favorite Muppet. But how can you choose?! Can you really pick between Fozzie or Gonzo? Or Kermit or Miss Piggy? They go together like peanut butter and jelly, plastic cheese and corn dog nuggets, Gaston’s cinnamon roll and extra icing!
Kermit Tiki Mug
Embrace a Tiki-themed day with your beloved green companion! We love that he’s holding a little ukelele and can just imagine him singing The Rainbow Connection with a tropical Tiki twist.
Miss Piggy Tiki Mug
Celebrate a Tiki-infused day with an iconic musical personality! We think Miss Piggy would approve of sippin’ a fabulous tropical cocktail or mocktail from this glamorous mug.

Fozzie Tiki Mug
A straw hat, sunglasses, and a smiley face vacation shirt show that this bear knows how to find his Tiki side! Considering how banana peels are a staple in his comedy line-up, we’re pretty sure your beverage choice would be on point if you sipped some fun banana-flavored beverage from this mug!
Gonzo Tiki Mug
This self-proclaimed weirdo is ready for vacation, and we’re loving his true blue tropical vibes. Is that a Lapu Lapu he’s holding from Tambu Lounge? Perhaps it is!
Animal Tiki Mug
We are so looking forward to having our Animal Tiki Mug while we rewatch Muppet Mayhem on Disney+ for the thousandth time! Each mug holds 16 ounces and stands at around 7 3/4 inches tall x 4 inches wide. Please note that it is recommended for hand wash only and is not dishwasher safe.
Any of these mugs will make amazing additions to your Tiki mug collection or your Muppet merchandise collection. As always, stay tuned to DFB for more merchandise finds! And remember, with every Muppet-centric purchase, you’re helping to support Muppetkind and keeping Muppet culture at the forefront of our pop culture conscienceness. So, do the right thing. Don’t just buy a tiki mug (or 5) because they’re adorable. Buy them because it’s the patriotic thing to do, and we don’t want to make Sam the Eagle cry.

About two decades ago, Disney bought The Muppets. My August trip is at Disneyland and at the D23 Expo and I would be so honored to be meeting the Muppets there.
