Tin Thing appears in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Previously a mild-mannered research assistant for the Wicked Witch of the West, he 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, and shows great friendship throughout. The Tin Thing's nose functions as a cellular phone.
In L. Frank Baum's original novel, it was the Wicked Witch of the East who made the Tin Woodsman the way he is; she enchated his axe to prevent him from marrying her maid.
