Spruce Springsteen

Spruce Springsteen is a Muppet that was created to be auctioned off for the Night of 100 Trees in 1988.
The base was designed by freelancer Karl Wendelin, and featured pictures of the Muppets as musical celebrities from Muppet Magazine, including Kermit as Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen (for whom this character is parodied), Miss Piggy as Madonna, and Janice as Tina Turner.
The piece also includes three small snowmen, which are rebuilt Doozers, flocked and painted for the occasion. A tag signed by Jim Henson was sewn into the Muppet after completion.
The puppet has shown up on eBay on multiple occasions over the years. Its most recent appearance in an auction setting was the Entertainment Memorabilia Auction in Los Angeles on June 28, 2023. Photographs of Spruce from the auction suggest he is missing his guitar as well as his display base.Prop Store Auction Lot 294
