Fozzie is made by Junior Toys otherwise known as Igel or Catric, same German company who changed their name over the years. They where and still are renowned for making the best in detail Muppets ever and when they closed Sababa Toys took over hence why some like their Animal look the same. Fozzie has never been played with only displayed with other Muppets so is in excellent condition plus like all my Muppets he was steam surface cleaned just before listing. This means he reaches you fresh smelling and germ free.
