Elkridge, MD (October 28, 2004) - Beginning on November 15, 2004, shoppers on eBay will have access to a brand-new holiday themed Muppet figure from Palisades Toys, as a part of eBay's first-ever Holiday Exclusives program. The figure, a brand-new version of the Swedish Chef dressed as Santa Claus, will be available only through eBay, in limited quantities.

"Palisades Toys is no stranger to eBay," said Palisades President & CEO, Michael Horn, "And so it was an honor to be asked to take part in their very first Holiday Exclusives program."

Horn went on to add, "The Swedish Chef is one of those beloved, universally-known Muppet characters, and this Santa-ized version is one of the most fun Muppets figures that we've produced so far. We expect a very positive reaction from the fans and the collectible community."

The Swedish Chef as Santa Claus figure comes in a traditional red and white Santa suit, along with a "fake" beard, and his brown moustache and eyebrows powdered white. Additionally, he comes with several accessories including a removable magnetic hat, a string of lights, and a wreath. The figure will retail for $20, plus shipping.
