Movie Bearbricks: Sesame Street

Puppets that become figures

The Sesame Street designs are among the most persistent collaborations in the range — and among the most idiosyncratic to design, because the originals are already puppets. Elmo, Cookie Monster and Oscar aren’t depicted here so much as translated: fur becomes flocking, eyes become applied parts.

Series 48 pushed it furthest: working with Gelato Pique, Medicom Toy released Cookie Monster in an Elmo costume and Elmo in a Cookie Monster costume. Two figures that only work as a pair.
