Sesame Street Figurines Part 4, Applause PVC figures, mid 1980's - 2000

In 2000 the Children's Television Workshop was bought out and became Sesame Workshop. Therefore all of the following figures were made after the transition in ownership which marked the end of the CTW era.

Readers Digest, made between 1998 and 2001

Baby Natasha and Zoe from the Reader's Digest Sesame Street PVC figure series.

I've shown them next to an Applause figure of Zoe for size comparison.

According to the Muppet Wiki website, during the late 1990's Readers Digest offered a monthly book series of Sesame Street children's books. Each book came with a different Sesame PVC figure. These figures are very well sculpted and are somewhat larger than typical PVC figures. They are made out of the usual flexible PVC plastic.

The series included:

Big Bird standing with head turned to the left, right arm raised out to the side held up high, left arm held out forwards held lower than right arm, legs separate (space between legs), heels of feet look to be touching slightly (not certain if they are attached or separate)

Cookie Monster standing with legs together (no space), left hand held out, cookie in right hand flat against tummy, head tilted slightly to the right, mouth wide open

Ernie standing with legs together, finger of right hand touching his bottom lip, left hand held out waving, head tilted slightly to the right, mouth wide open

Bert standing with legs together (no space), hands on hips, elbows bent

Oscar the Grouch in his trash can, left hand on his cheek, lid of can on his head, right hand holding edge of can, mouth open

Grover standing with legs slightly separate, heels touching, right arm held out to side horizontally, left hand on his tummy, head tilted very slightly to the left, mouth open

Elmo standing with legs and heels separate (not touching, space between legs), waving with his right hand, left hand hanging down by side of his body positioned to be tilted/reaching back (not hanging straight downwards), mouth open

Zoe (shown above)

Telly standing, legs together (no spaces), head tilted slightly to the right, mouth open, both hand over his tummy, yet sculpted separately (not flat) 

Baby Bear standing with legs together (no space between them), arms held out to his sides, head tilted to the left, mouth is open

Baby Natasha (shown above)

Little Black Puppy (a character created the book series) standing on all fours, smiling with tongue hanging out, dark grey fur, black ears

"Where is the Puppy?" Sesame Street Books

These books all feature a small black puppy which is hidden throughout several pages of each book, similar to Where's Waldo. Each book came with a PVC figure.

"The Post Office" was published in 2014 by Bendon Publishing International, originally published in 2001 by Readers Digest.

Fisher-Price/Mattel, 2001

See Sesame Street Figurines Part 3, Fisher-Price / Illco / Tyco / Mattel

Bakery Crafts, made between 1990 and 2011

Elmo in a race car by Bakery Crafts, 2010 

This Elmo is half of a PVC figure which is attached to the plastic car.

Figures with Musical Instruments

Muppet Wiki notes that Bakery Crafts produced three Sesame PVC figures as cake toppers: Big Bird with cymbals, Cookie Monster with a drum, and Elmo with a horn. These are very similar to the second set of Sesame cake toppers made buy Wilton, but each of those characters have different instruments and are standing on a white base. For the Bakery Crafts set, the base for each figure is the same colour plastic as the character. 

Unfortunately no production date for either the Wilton or Bakery Craft set was provided on Muppet Wiki. As such, the Bakery Craft figures could have been made between 1990 and 2011. My understanding is that Wilton had the license for Sesame cake topper figures in the 1980's, though I am not certain if this continued into the 1990's. My guess would be that the second Wilton series of figures with the musical instruments was done in the 1990's, but just to be cautious I would date the Bakery Craft figures as possibly beginning in 1990. 

See Saw Figure

In 2011, Bakery Crafts made a very detailed See Saw toy as a cake topper, which has figures of Abby Cadabby and Elmo attached to the See Saw (so the toy is technically one figure as it is all one piece). The toy is marked 2011 on the base. This would indicate that the first three figures mentioned above would not have been made after 2011 as they are more simplistic in design than the See Saw figures.

Additional Figures and Vehicles

In addition to the above figures, Bakery Crafts made other Sesame cake toppers in the form of separate PVC figures or toy vehicles with a PVC figure attached. Two of the vehicles were made in 2010, as such it seems likely that the other items, if confirmed, would be from around the same time. Those that I have noticed include:

PVC Figures

Elmo wearing green and grey airplane goggles on the top of his head, waving with left hand, arm is straight out to the side, right arm flat against body, legs together, no spaces (to be confirmed if it was made by Bakery Crafts, as the ebay listing said it was but did not have a photo of markings)

Cookie Monster and Elmo set includes a PVC figure of Cookie Monster holding the handle of a wagon that Elmo is sitting in. The Cookie Monster figure is separate from the wagon with his hand sculpted in the position to hold the handle. Elmo is attached to the wagon.

Vehicles with attached PVC figure

Big Bird in an orange tow truck with yellow wheels, seatbelt strap across shoulder, white bumper and base to truck, marked 2010

Elmo in a blue car with yellow wheels, white bumper and base to car, marked 2010

Note: These two toy cars are very similar to toy cars made by Tyco in 1993.

Elmo in a green racecar (shown above)

Cookie Monster in a red racecar

Universal Studios Japan, made between 2003 and 2022

According to Muppet Wiki, Sesame Street characters have been featured at the Universal Studios Japan theme park since April 2003. At some point between then and 2022 a series of Sesame Street figures were sold at the park. All of the figures are attached to a base that says "Universal Studios Japan". The set includes:

Big Bird sitting on a short stool reading a book with a green cover, on a green base

Cookie Monster standing on his right leg stepping over the Sesame Street sign logo with his left foot in the air, left hand raised, right hand flat against his body, on a green base

Elmo waving with right hand held above his head, heels touching with a space between legs, on a yellow base

Elmo wearing two lays around his neck, standing with his weight on his right leg, his left leg to the side as though he is bowing, arms raised out to his sides, head tilted to the left, on a yellow base

Elmo, this is toy car of a taxi with a smaller figure of Elmo coming through the roof

Hasbro / Milton Bradley, 2004

These PVC figures are the game pieces that game with the Sesame Street "Chutes and Ladders" board game.

Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Zoe

Above is a Hasbro / Milton Bradley "Chutes and Ladders" board game made in 2004. Below is a look at the game itself...

The game includes four game pieces which are awesome PVC figures of Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Zoe. The four characters are also pictured as illustrations on the spinner card.

The game board is also illustrated with the four game piece characters along with additional Sesame characters. I find it interesting that Ernie, Big Bird and Oscar each only appear twice on this game board despite being the star characters of the show (and one of the game pieces), while Bert, Zoe and Cookie Monster each appear six times, and Elmo appears the most often out of all the characters 16 times! Just a tad too much Elmo for my liking! The Count, my favourite Sesame character, doesn't appear at all!!! Sucks! :(  Still, it's a very fun game to play.

Vee Corporation/Colin Company, 2004 - 2016

This boxed set of eight PVC figures was sold through the Sesame Street Live touring shows beginning in 2004. The set shown above is from 2008. The Sesame Street Live shows are produced and operated by the Vee Corporation. What's so remarkable about this set is that each figure is a new sculpt based on a figure that was previously manufactured by Applause. At quick glance these figures appear to be the same figures as the originals, but a closer look reveals that they are in fact entirely new sculpts. In fact, the entire boxed set is based on a similar boxed set released by Applause in 2000. 

The box shown above was marked 2008, however it seems that a new batch of these figures were produced every two years as I have seen several copies of figures from this set which are marked with different dates on the base, including 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016. The box also lists the full address for Colin Company in Minneapolis, MN USA. I'm not certain if this company manufactured these figures or if they are simply the distributor, or if they did both. 

Here are four of the eight figures out of the box. As you can see, the Ernie and Elmo figures are much smaller than Grover, who is taller than Big Bird, as the figures are not in scale with each other. This specific Ernie figure is marked 2008, Elmo and Big Bird are marked 2004.

Above are two identical Vee Corporation Super Grover figures however they are both marked in black on the base with different dates. The one on the left is marked 2008 and the one on the right is marked 2010.

Comparisons to Applause figures:

Side view shows the different positions of the capes.

I've added more photos comparing the two figures in a separate post.

This view from above shows how the Applause figure (left) has the head turned slightly to the left, while the Sesame Street Live figure is looking straight ahead.

Goldie, 2005

Muppet Wiki states that an Australian company, Goldie, produced two sets of Sesame PVC figures in 2005. One set featured the characters with a letter of the alphabet, and the other set with numbers. This collection is a very nicely done series and includes the first PVC figures of a Dinger and Guy Smiley to have ever been made. (A Christmas ornament of Guy Smiley was previously made but it's made out of a breakable material, so it's definitely not a toy figurine.) This is the first time that both Little Bird and Rubber Duckie appear by themselves as a figure. Previously they were always attached to a figure of Big Bird or Ernie. Figures were sold individually with a hang tag shaped like the Sesame Street sign logo.

Sesame Street Play Town, by Learning Curve, 2007

Elmo, Ernie and Cookie Monster "Play Town" figures next to a PVC Super Grover figure for size comparison.

These figures are painted wooden shapes with hard plastic molded pieces attached. I find them to be very odd as why bother making them out of wood if you are going to add molded plastic to it? In any case, there are eight figures in the series which were sold in sets of two. I've shown the Super Grover PVC figure next to them for size comparison.

Ernie and Bert

Big Bird and Cookie Monster

Elmo and Grover

Abby and Oscar

Sesame Place, 2007

In 2007 the Sesame Place theme park marketed an exclusive series of six Sesame figures. Cookie Monster was not included in the set which is quite unusual.

Big Bird wearing swimming shorts

Ernie standing with legs together, no space between legs, arms out to sides, left arm raised up

Bert standing with legs together, no space between legs, both arms bent with hands on hips

Elmo wearing swimming shorts and sandals

Oscar the Grouch with "Sesame Place" written on the front of the trash can

Count Von Count with right arm raised, legs and heels of feet are together, no space between legs

Beverly Hills, 2007

The six figures in this series were sold individually on bubble cards.

Big Bird, sitting on a stool reading a green book

Ernie, holding Rubber Duckie with both hands to his left side

Bert, holding up a painting of a bird in his right hand, his left hand flat against his tummy holding a pencil

Cookie Monster, holding a yellow cookie jar with red letters with both hands up to his left shoulder

Elmo holding a fish bowl shape to his left with illustration of a fish on it

Zoe wearing ballerina outfit, arms out to sides, right arm raised

Fisher-Price/Mattel, 2008 - 2010

See Sesame Street Figurines Part 3, Fisher-Price / Illco / Tyco / Mattel

Toy Island, 2010

These were sold individually on buddle cards
Big Bird, sitting, head turned to the right, waiving with left hand, legs bent and separate, left knee pointing upwards, right knee horizontal to the side, figure is to scale (as seen on TV) with the other two Muppets in this set
Cookie Monster light blue, left hand behind back, waiving with right hand with arm out to side, legs together
Elmo both arms hugging his tummy flat against figure, legs together, leaning slightly to his left

Hasbro/Playskool, 2010 - 2018

In 2010 Hasbro began marketing a very extensive line of Sesame Street PVC figures along with several vehicles and playsets. These were sold under the Playskool brand name. Above is the Sesame Street Playset for this collection which came with only two figures: Cookie Monster and Elmo. I find it quite odd that a figure of Big Bird wasn't included! To my knowledge every other playset of 123 Sesame Street and Hooper's Store that has ever been made (and there have been many!) included a figure of Big Bird, so this is the only playset in over 50 years that did not include one! Oscar is attached to the playset so he doesn't count as a figure.

Here is a closer look at the Elmo and Cookie Monster figures.

Despite only being sold with two figures this is a very nice playset. There are no loose accessories other than the two figures, everything else is attached to the playset. Above is a look inside. The cash register is attached and there are sticker decals on some of the walls.

Here is a side view of the playset when it is closed. I like how the Sesame street sign can be turned to be flat against the building for storage. Big Bird also has his nest and there is a second floor balcony. The set also has a handle on top to carry the toy with. 

Here is the sign turned into position.

The Big Bird figure fits nicely in his nest.

The doors at 123 Sesame street can be opened for figures to pass through. There is also a small round platform that the figures can be attached to (each figure has a hole in the bottom of the feet), then when the leaver is pulled forward the figure wobbles down the street toward Oscar's trash can.

When the figure reaches Oscar he pops up out of his can.

Here is Bert in the balcony and the fold up handle on top of the toy.

The door at Hooper's store opens as well. There is also a spinning cylinder with illustrations showing the letters A, B and C next to an apple, bananas and carrots which are also seen on the produce stand. Below are the B and C illustrations.

The original figures were made with solid PVC plastic and sold in 2 pack sets. Shown above are Big Bird, Bert, the Count and Zoe from the 2 pack sets. A 5 pack set and an 11 pack boxed set were also released. All of these sets have two different packaging styles with exception of a few of the 2 packs. 

2 pack sets, yellow cards with Elmo's face

Cookie Monster, dressed as a baker holding a whisk in right hand, bowl in left hand (this figure was also available in the 5 pack Hooper's Store boxed set shown below)

Bert, dressed as a policeman

Ernie, dressed as a construction worker, hammer in right hand

Cookie Monster, dressed as a waiter in white shirt with red bowtie, holding a pizza in his left hand (a similar Cookie Monster figure was sold with the ice cream truck vehicle set, only the pizza was replaced with an ice cream cone)

2 pack sets, green cards with sky and clouds as background, various characters faces

Snuffy, sitting (this figure was also included in the 123 Sesame Street 5 Pack set shown below)

Elmo, holding a fish bowl in right hand

Oscar, right hand on cheek, left hand in front on edge of can (this figure was also included in the 123 Sesame Street 5 Pack set shown below)

Ernie, regular shirt, waving with left hand, right hand flat against side (this figure was also included in the 123 Sesame Street 5 Pack set shown below)

Bert, regular shirt, waving with right hand, left hand out to side (shown above, this figure was also included in the 123 Sesame Street 5 Pack set shown below)

5 Pack boxed set

This set was available in two different packaging styles. All five of these figures were included in the 11 pack set.

Elmo, same figure that came with the Sesame Street playset, shown above

Cookie Monster, same figure that came with the Sesame Street playset, shown above

5 Pack set: Sesame Street Band

This set presented the sesame gang dressed as a rock band

Elmo, with a microphone

Big Bird, with a guitar (this figure was also sold in the Hooper's store 5pack set shown below)

Bert, with a green guitar style keyboard and sunglasses

Ernie, with a red standard keyboard

Cookie Monster, with drum set, holding both arms up with drumsticks in hand

5 Pack sets: Hooper's Store and 123 sesame Street boxed sets

Two boxed sets of Sesame Street figures including: (top row, L to R) Zoe, Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Super Grover, (Bottom row) Elmo, Grover, Cookie Monster, Snuffy, and Oscar the Grouch. All of these figures were previously available in other sets.

These two boxed sets produced by Hasbro in 2018 are quite interesting from a toy collecting point of view. The boxes are designed to look like 123 Sesame Street and Hooper's Store using the illustrations from the original 1970's Sesame Street Little People playset, made by Fisher-Price (which is now owned by Hasbro's longtime competitor Mattel). I've shown the 1970's Fisher-Price playset on another page on this blog. I'm not sure how Hasbro was able to do this since they are using another companies artwork? I doubt Hasbro would pay Mattel to use the illustration, but perhaps they did? Or perhaps they found a loophole for using this specific artwork and exploited it? Maybe the copyright for the artwork expired? I'm just guessing as I really have know idea how this is possible. Whatever the case is, this is some very shrewd marketing on the part of Hasbro. I honestly don't care as much about these figures as I do for the retro styled boxes!

The illustration on the side of the box showing Luis in his fix it shop and the boy 

in the window above are taken directly from the 1970's Fisher-Price playset.

The Illustration on the side of the box of Oscar's can and the doors above 

are taken directly from the 1970's Fisher Price playset.

11 Pack boxed sets

This set was available in two different packaging styles, one is a green standard open window box with a group photo of the Sesame gang at the bottom left, the other is a yellow school bus shaped window box. Snuffy and Rosita were the alternate figures in each box variation set, Snuffy came in the School bus shaped set, Rosita came in the green boxed set.

Bert, regular clothes, waving with left hand, right arm bent with hand on hip

Ernie, regular clothes, waving with right hand, left hand flat on tummy

The Count, regular clothes, holding up one finger on right hand, left hand flat on tummy

Rosita, waving with left hand, right hand out to side

Gonger, wearing barker outfit, waving with left hand, right hand out to side

Big Bird, both hands held up

Oscar, same as 5 pack

Grover, same as 5 pack

Cookie Monster, same as 5 pack, also came with Sesame Street Playset

Elmo, same as 5 pack, also came with Sesame Street Playset

Abby, same as 5 pack, also in 2 pack with Zoe dressed as ballerina and with Flying Fairy School playset

Snuffy, came in school bus shaped box 11 pack in place of Rosita

Rosita, came in green box 11 pack in place of Snuffy

Figure and Vehicle sets

These sets included a plastic vehicle for the figure to ride in.

Firetruck and Grover, dressed as a fireman, red hat, yellow pants, red suspenders, black boots (this figure was also available in a 2 pack set with Ernie dressed as a construction worker, as well as in the 5 pack Hooper's Store set)

Garbage Truck and Oscar, waving with right hand, dressed in orange overalls, in his can

Ice Cream Truck and Cookie Monster, dressed in white shirt with red bowtie, holding up an ice cream cone in left hand (a similar Cookie Monster figure was sold in a 2 pack set with Abby dressed as a dentist, only the ice cream cone was replaced with a pizza)

Sesame Street School Bus, came with Elmo wearing a blue back pack and holding a book in his right hand flat against his body (this figure was also included in the Hooper's Store 5 pack boxed set). The school bus has a figure of the Count as the bus driver, but I an not 100 percent certain if the figure was attached to the toy or if it was removable. I suspect that it was attached.

Super Grover 2.0 and Vehicle, came with a Super Grover figure that is the updated version with a more detailed costume. The vehicle is a blue roadster style car with a grey dome shaped canopy over the drivers seat. The car is styled to mimic the new Super Grover outfit.

Abby Cadabby's Flying Fairy School playset

This is a fold open playset of a school house that comes with two figures. It's very strange that Hasbro didn't make a Gonnigan figure since there are only three main characters for the Fairy School TV series. They only included two of the three! Gonnigan was may favourite from that show.

Abby (this figure was previously available in a 2 pack set with Zoe)

Blogg

Furchester Hotel playset

This is a suitcase that folds open to create the inside of the hotel. Set included several suitcases and other accessories as well as two figures:

Elmo, same figure as Sesame Street playset

Phoebe Fuzz (purple monster with blue hair), both arms held up

Furchester Hotel 3 pack

Elmo with starfish

Cookie Monster with beach ball, wearing shorts

Phoebe Fuzz (purple monster with blue hair) with light blue tire tube creature around waist

Furchester Hotel 3 pack

Set includes a yellow gong with a brown stand and 3 figures.

Elmo, same figure as Sesame Street Playset only with a tea cup in his left hand

Funella Fuzz (yellow monster with orange hair), with teapot in right hand

Gonger, no clothes, holding blue item in left hand

Furchester Hotel 5 pack

Elmo, same figure as sesame Street playset

Cookie Monster, same figure as sesame Street playset

Furgus Fuzz (light blue monster), waving with left hand, right hand out to side

Funella Fuzz (yellow monster with orange hair), same figure as 3 pack only without teapot

Phoebe Fuzz (purple monster with blue hair), with both hand held up

Individually bagged hollow figures

Oscar the Grouch, Abby Cadabby, Elmo, and Cookie Monster hollow Playskool figures from 2024. I'm still missing Grover from this set.

In 2013 Hasbro reissued all of the figures from the 5 pack (Cookie Monster, Oscar, Elmo, Abby, and Grover) as hard plastic, hollow toys rather than solid PVC plastic. These hollow figures were packaged individually in baggies and sold through dollar stores. The figures reappeared at dollar stores once again in the Spring of 2024, almost ten years later (shown above). However, I'm not certain if these are reissued figures or if they are leftover stock. The copyright date on the packaging is 2013 which suggests that they were likely leftover stock.

Elmo and Abby hollow figures out of the package

These two Elmo figures look like they are the same but they were each made very differently. The one on the left is hollow and very light, made with a hard plastic. It's marked 2013. The one on the right is heavier and solid, and made with a PVC type of plastic, marked 2010 with an octagon shaped hole in the base (shown below). All 5 of the hollow figures can be found in both of these variations.

Medicom, 2017

This is a really impressively sculpted and rendered set of Sesame figures. They were sold individually  on bubble cards. I'm not aware if these were distributed in North America, to my knowledge they were mainly sold online. This is the same company that made the Sesame Street Kubricks figures (which are listed on the Sesame Street Action Figures page of this blog.

HeadStart, 2017

HeadStart is an Australian toy company that produced a series of nine "blind box" Sesame Street figures in 2017. The figures were sold in solid pouches so that collectors could not see which character they would be getting. This forced collectors to buy duplicate figures until they managed to find all of characters in the set. This is the only series from Headstart in which the figures are sculpted to look normal rather than stylized. The set includes

Big Bird

Cookie Monster

Ernie with Rubber Duckie

Bert

Oscar the Grouch

Elmo

Elmo, limited edition glitter variant 

Abby Cadabby

Super Grover, posed in a flying position

In 2018 the company released a boxed set of the eight figures (without glitter Elmo) which undoubtedly went over well with collectors who had painstakingly collected all of them in "blind box" packaging, while wasting their money on doubles of figures that they don't need. Strange bit of marketing there, in my humble opinion!

Sesame Street Ooshies, 2018

Another "blind box" series by Headstart. This is a series pencil topper figures which are short, stylized, cartoon-like depictions of the Sesame gang.

Big Bird

Elmo

Elmo, furry/flocked variant

Elmo, hologram/opaque variant

Two Pack Figures, 2020

Headstart offered another series of Sesame figures, this time the characters are made to look child-like. This list is incomplete.

Cookie Monster and Abby Cadabby

Comansi, 2018

The Muppet Wiki site lists this series as being made by a Portuguese company, but doesn't clarify if the figures were only sold there, or if they were distributed internationally including within North America. Characters in the set include:

Grover

Ernie

Bert

Cookie Monster

Elmo

Just Play, 2023

This are hard plastic figures that were sold at dollar stores. Figures are packaged individually on bubble cards.

Big Bird, Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch by Just Play

Elmo and Abby Cadabby

Although there have been numerous Abby Cadabby figures made since her debut in 2006 this is the first one that I've added to my collection. It's too bad that there isn't a PVC figure of Gonnigan as I really like that character. They should have introduced puppet versions of both him and Blogg on Sesame Street.

Pop Mart, 2023

So far at least three different series with 13 Sesame Street figures in each set has been made as part of the Sesame Street Pop Mart collection. To my knowledge these are only sold in Japan but I could be mistaken. They're also available on eBay but they're quite expensive. I've certainly never seen these figures in stores here in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. These figures are sold as "blind box" figures, so you don't know what figure you are getting until you buy it and open the package. Below are the checklist images that were released online. I don't know what order these three sets were released in, so I'm just listing them in random order.
