Cookie Monster
is a great favorite. The hands in particular, the length of
the neck, the shape of the mouth--all are perfectly true to the actual
Henson muppet.
TOPPER
The Topper Cookie Monster (1971-72) Plastic
eyes inserted into rubber body. Softer rubber. Brighter blue color.
More detailed texture. No Hong Kong markings on base.
     
QUESTOR/GABRIEL
Questor (1973-77) Gabriel (1978-79) Harder
rubber, darker blue. Less detailed texture. Eyes and body are one
molded piece, with the eyes painted white. Hong Kong markings
on base.
    
GABRIEL 1980
Same mold, painted eyes, lighter, cooler blue color. Hong
Kong markings on base.
 
VICMA
A poorly made copy of the original .

LILI LEDY
A 2-pack from Lili Ledy, the famed Mexican manufacturer of popular American
toys. Cookie Monster is called "Lucas" on Plaza Sesamo, the Mexican Sesame
Street. The puppets are flawed copies, but superior in quality to
Vicmas.
