Pirate Frackles

507 Pirate Frackles

4 of the 6 pirate Frackles

Six new Frackles were created for a plot in episode 507 of The Muppet Show as the pirate minions of guest star Glenda Jackson who leads a takeover of The Muppet Theatre.

They are unnamed, but each have their own distinctive look, while keeping to a typical Frackle aesthetic.

Following episode 507, each Frackle continued to appear on subsequent episodes of The Muppet Show and went on to appear as ancillary characters in a number of Muppet productions.

In some cases, they have been used as named characters, most notably some guests on Mopatop's Shop in the early 2000s, and J. G. who was characterized in bonus material created for the home video release of the 2011 movie, The Muppets.

A rebuild by Deborah Glassberg[1]

An emerald green Frackle with two upper teeth.

As of January 2025, the puppet was displayed at the Museum of the Moving Image as a part of The Jim Henson Exhibition. The placard identifies it as "Spiky Frackle," while erroneously claiming it was built in 1976 and citing it as being performed by John Lovelady in The Great Santa Claus Switch (recorded six years prior to the stated build date).
