Muppet Theater Seats (miniature) Display

[Snow Builder]

I have a handful of Muppets and other plush toys that my children had when they were little that we've kept for nostalgia purposes. They've been sitting on a shelf amongst books, keepsakes and other stuff for years.

I spent about 4 hours last night building a replica of the Muppet Theater (TV Show) audience chairs as a custom display. Overall very happy with how it turned out (now I just need to find a wall to hang it on).

this is awesome. I dont have any Muppet toys, but I do have some other toys that would probably look right as audience, I think I'll have a go at this at some point, thanks for the inspiration!

may I suggest finding a simple picture frame, print a picture of Muppet audience for the background, and gluing this on the front of the glass as foreground

Interesting, feeling nostalgic when I see it.
I actually have one I inherited from my grandfather.
And you can find them on ebay.

Glad you like the build and very interested to see your interpretation.

I re-did my home office and moved my props/display pieces above the door. Here’s the muppets amongst the rest of the collection.
