Grover
is such a great sculpt. They really captured the character's unique posture
and the tilt of his head evokes the sweetness of Grover so well. This is
one that really suffers in later versions where the blue rubber becomes
very hard. A nice Topper Grover is a must, and it's hard to find a good
nose paint on him.

markings on base.
      
QUESTOR/GABRIEL
Questor (1973-77) Gabriel (1978-79) Harder
rubber. Very dark blue. Nose paint too dark. Less detailed texture.

GRUNER & JAHR
Lili Ledy did does not seem to have made a Grover. However, I found
this amazing example from the Netherlands. The
Sesamstrasse Fingerpuppe has marvelous artwork and a removeable bubble!
