Tiffy Through the Years
From Muppet Wiki
The Evolution of Tiffy (1978-2005)
| Image | As seen in | Year | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Sesamstrasse | 1978-1988 | The first Tiffy puppet started as a pink bird that was performed by only one puppeteer. Therefore, Tiffy could move only one hand at a time. This changed in the second season, when a second puppeteer began performing her hands. |
 | Sesamstrasse | 1989-1994 | A new Tiffy puppet is built, because of a fire that destroyed all the Sesamstrasse Muppets.
Her tulle hair is reshaped slightly, she is a lighter pink now, her palm is made from a different, darker material, and her eyelids lose their mechanism for movement, making her appear droopier than before. |
 | Sesamstrasse | 1995-2000 | All Sesamstrasse Muppets are rebuilt in an effort to update the program. Tiffy is now referred to as "a Monster-Child," and now has pink hair instead of the pink camisole. Her eyelids change from a slight wave shape to a simpler curve shape. |
 | Sesamstrasse | 2000-2005 | This is the last version of Tiffy. In order to add two new Muppets to the show, the producers had to eliminate one existing character, and Tiffy was that character.[1] This version has pink eyelids instead of orange and has a wider variety of colors in her hair. |
| Predecessor Puppets and Planning | |||
 | Prototype (unused) | 1977 | This is the prototype made by Kermit Love in the Muppet Workshop in Manhattan. This Tiffy looks totally different from her eventual appearance on Sesamstrasse in Germany. |
