When Palisades Toys announced that it was making a collection of muppet action figures in 2001, one of the most-asked questions from fans was, "Will a Lips action figure ever get made?" Ken Lilly, developer for the toys, said that he asked the people at The Jim Henson Company about making a Lips figure, and henson wasn't too sold on the idea, and Ken Lilly said that he also needed some convincing. However, in Summer 2002, he said that Lips, along with Pepe The King Prawn and Clifford, was on his most extreme wish list.

The figure was released in Series 9, the last series of muppet figures.

Two repaints were also made. The original plan was for one repainted figure, but the design on his shirt required so much paint that an extra repaint was produced to keep costs down.
