Those Chickens Are Up To Something!
Released in 2000 to coincide with Aardman’s hit film Chicken Run, these mini figures brilliantly capture the characters’ distinctive look. The set includes the suspicious farmer Mr. Tweedy in his green jumper and wellies, the resourceful chicken Ginger in her knitted hat and scarf, and the terrifying Guard Dog that kept the chickens in check. The sculpting is fantastic – you can practically hear Nick Park’s voice actors when looking at them!
These Playmates Toys figures have become increasingly sought-after as Chicken Run has cemented its place as a British animation classic. With the recent Netflix sequel rekindling interest in the original, now’s the perfect time to add these charming figures to your collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Are the figures articulated?
A: No these are designed as display pieces that capture the characters’ looks rather than action figures. - Q: Is this the complete set of Chicken Run figures?
A: No, this is one of several sets released. The back of the package shows other characters and playsets that were available in the line. - Q: Are these figures rare?
A: Yes! Chicken Run merchandise wasn’t produced in massive quantities like Disney or Star Wars toys, making sealed examples increasingly difficult to find.
