Changes: Tin Thing

The Tin Thing appears in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz in the role more commonly known as the Tin Woodman.

Previously a mild-mannered research assistant for the Wicked Witch of the West, the Tin Thing made the mistake of asking for a vacation to wed his true love, Camilla. As punishment, he was turned into a purely mechanical, computerized being without a heart. Despite the handicap, the Tin Thing proves to be a useful companion to Dorothy Gale and the others, showing great friendship throughout.

The Tin Thing's nose functions as a cellular phone, and what Pepe mistakes for two knobs on his chest are, much to the prawn's chagrin, nipples.

In L. Frank Baum's original novel, it was the Wicked Witch of the East who made the Tin Woodman the way he is; she enchanted his axe to prevent him from marrying her maid.

Other portrayals

Gonzo also performed the role of the Tin Woodman when the Muppets performed a medley of songs from the 1939 MGM musical in The Muppets Go to the Movies.

Fozzie appeared as the Tin Woodman in episode 506 of The Muppet Show.

Beaker played the role of the Tin Woodman in "The Wizard of Foz," a comic from Muppet Magazine issue 4.

Kermit dressed as the Tin Man for Halloween in "Little Swamp of Horrors," a comic from Muppet Magazine issue 16.
