Christmas Gift Ideas for Muppets Fans: Statler and Waldorf Apparel, Posters, and Action Figures

They are everyone's favorite grumpy old men and, no, I'm not talking about any content producers on Associated Content. Rather, I'm referring to the incomparable comedic duo comprised of two Muppet characters forever bolted into balcony chairs: Statler and Waldorf.

If you're a fan of Statler and Waldorf and want to buy a t-shirt featuring this old couple, you may have a tough time finding one in a local retail establishment. In this article, I've attempted to compile a list of current online resources for finding and buying Statler and Waldorf related merchandise, particularly t-shirts.

Design Your Own Statler and Waldorf Items on Disneyshopping.com

This website features many famous Disney characters, but you can find some Statler and Waldorf items. Once you type the web address into your browser, look for the button on the left-hand side labeled "Create Your Own." Next, select the link for "You-Design-It-Tees."

Locate the link for "The Muppets You-Design-It Tee." You'll see a basic shirt displayed with Kermit the Frog. Find the yellow "Customize It" button next to the Kermit shirt, and then choose "Statler and Waldorf" from the drop-down list. There are currently 3 designs available using these characters and you can customize the size of the design as well as add text to your design. You can also choose from a variety of shirt sizes and colors.

If you really like one of the Disney Statler and Waldorf designs, you can get it made into a poster instead of a t-shirt.

You can also find collectible pins on the main DisneyShopping site featuring Statler and Waldorf.
