When I first laid eyes on this Talking and Singing Kermit, I knew I had
to get him for my brother. This special 30th anniversary Kermit comes
complete with Jim Henson's signature stitched into the foot. Even though
he's not a puppet, you can squeeze his stomach while he's talking so
his mouth moves along with the words.
Even the box is adorable,
with a bright Caribbean background. We kept ours. Kermit is just the
right size to perch jauntily on a desk, swinging his legs over the edge.
Stick a pair of sunglasses on him and you're sure to get a laugh. We've
found that a rubber band will secure them quite comfortably to his
head.
Kermit is made of soft green material, and his posable
limbs make it easy for him to wrap his arms around a child in a return
embrace. With all the charm only this lovable frog could possess, Sesame
Street Magic Talking Kermit the Frog practically comes to life as he
entertains his young audience with his tunes.
Squeeze his foot
and he'll introduce himself: "Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog here. Everybody
sing!" and proceed the sing "Caribbean Amphibian". If you close his
mouth during this time, he'll hum. Press his hand and he'll say
"ribbit-ribbit". His other hand produces a buzzing fly noise, and if you
close his mouth while it is buzzing you'll hear "gulp...mmm,
delicious!" That is probably the most amusing feature of all.
While this Kermit is not exactly cuddly (he needs stiff limbs for
posability and has a box in his stomach for his voicebox) he is
certainly lovable. A must have for any die-hard Kermit fan, age 1 to
100, this friendly frog will keep you entertained long after the first
batteries have worn down.
