The Vacation Fozzie Action Figure was made as an exclusive Fozzie Bear figure by Palisades Toys in honor of The Muppet Show’s 25th anniversary. The figure wears a Hawaiian shirt, a magnetic straw hat, and sunglasses that fit on his ears. An inner tube, shaped like a horse-like creature, fits around his waist.
The suitcase can be decorated with eleven stickers of places Fozzie has visited on his vacation. Many stickers contain Muppet references: World Wide Studios, Bogen County Fair and the El Sleezo Cafe from The Muppet Movie; England and the Happiness Hotel from The Great Muppet Caper; and New York City, Pete's Luncheonette, and Maine from The Muppets Take Manhattan. There is also a sticker of Mississippi (where Jim Henson grew up), Camp Wocka Wocka, and Camden Town, where the Creature Shop is located; the sticker features the Creature Shop logo.
Two different Vacation Fozzies were produced. Toyfare Magazine sold a Fozzie with a red shirt and a green tube; the retailers Musicland, Media Play, and Suncoast sold a Fozzie with a blue shirt and a yellow tube.
Vacation Fozzie would be followed by a Vacation Pepe Action Figure in the following year.
