Miss Piggy's Haute Tote Collection (which was really a collection of only one bag) was produced by Loungefly as a QVC exclusive in 2014 as a promotion for "Muppets Most Wanted."

The interior is lined with quotes and phrases representing Miss Piggy's diva attitude toward life, including "Too much is never enough," "Anything worth doing is worth having someone do it for you," and the ever famous "Hiiii-ya!"

In 1983, Enesco released two porcelain Miss Piggy dolls in a series titled "Famous Femmes de Historie". The two dolls were Marie Antionette and Cleopigtra. Each came inside a decorative box with a certificate of authenticity.

The Marie Antionette doll sports lavender and pink feathers, and a dress of satin, lace, embroidery, and velvet.

And the Cleopigtra doll features an elaborately beaded collar, bracelets, and belt. The headdress is topped with a tiny Kermit.

I believe that these were produced by a German-based company in London called Schleich. They had (and still have) several licensed lines of toys. They made the famous little Muppet figurines under the brand Ha! Schleich.

In 1984, Nasta produced a line of portable Muppet radios under their "Power-Tronic" label. The Kermit AM radio, depicting Kermit dressed in a tuxedo, came with a carrying strap.

And the Miss Piggy AM Radio & Headset came with a belt clip so it could be worn while exercising. The image of Piggy in her workout gear was likely a reference to her 1982 album, Miss Piggy's Aerobique Exercise Workout Album.
