Exclusive	Target/Palisades Collector's Club

Collector's Club kit

This exclusive figure of Kermit, made by Palisades Toys, wears his famous reporter outfit. He is reporting live from the Planet Koozebane, where he witnesses the Koozbanian Creatures.

The Male Koozebanian Creature, Female Koozebanian Creature and Koozebanian Pups starred in the famous Koozbanian Mating Ritual sketch from The Muppets Valentine Show and episode 107 of The Muppet Show. The male and female have moving arms. The Merdlidops are from a sketch in episode 211.

The figure was sold at Target stores, along with two variants: a "nocturna" repaint with blue and purple aliens, and a set with glow-in-the-dark aliens. The latter was sold through the Palisades Collectors Club.

Palisades Toys originally faced resistance to producing a trenchcoated Kermit Action Figure as part of its Muppet Show Action Figure line because "Reporter Kermit" is more associated with Sesame Street than The Muppet Show. However, Palisades was able to make one under the conditions that he was included with Koozebanian accessories and dressed exactly as he was on The Muppet Show (i.e., no hat and with a different microphone than the iconic one he used on Sesame Street).
