Potential Rare Muppets prototype plush
I bought this plush off of Ebay a little over 3 years ago, and I am finally deciding to make a pos t about it. I looked around online a little, and figured out that this Rizzo is from a line of 2003 Happy Meal toys to promote the 25th Anniversary of the Muppets, so I know where it came from. Upon looking into the company on the tag (Creata promotions), they are a branding company that has worked with McDonalds in the past, definitely increasing its credibility. Comparing it to the promo posters on the Muppet wiki, it does not seem to directly match any of them, and the plush appears to be much higher quality than the ones that were publicly distributed. Could this plush potentially been used for a pitch to McDonalds, or could this just be factory stock due to the lack of date? I'm not sure and I'm dying to find out.
