Muppet dolls (Bendy Toys)

Bendy Toys released a series of bendable Muppet dolls in the UK in 1977 and 1978. The dolls were made of foam latex with a bendable wire structure inside. The dolls came in both large and small sizes. Most of the characters' clothing was made of fabric. The downside to the Bendy toys is that the soft latex foam tends to turn hard and crumble after several years.
