Ever want to see yourself in Muppet form? FAO Schwartz is offering the chance to do just that with their Muppet Whatnot Workshop. For just 90 bucks you can create your own muppet, to be delivered to your doorstep in just a few weeks.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Well...so many people were jumping on the opportunity that the Muppet machine had to be put on hold temporarily, but as of right now it's back up! And we're told "the Muppet Whatnot shop in the NY Store on 5th Avenue opens to the public on Monday, October 27."
