Another item that was trimmed for time from my Collector's TV appearance, is the first licensed Ideal toys Kermit the frog puppet from 1965. We talked about him during the Wilkins and Wontkins section. I got him from my friend Ron Murphy and David from Quake Collectibles said he never saw one during his years of selling at the store. I love that he is wearing the red turtleneck that he wore on the Ed Sullivan show and other early TV appearances. #jimhenson #collectorscall #metv #lisawhelchel #idealtoys #kermitthefrog #popculture #television #theedsullivanshow
