WGSSFP: Oscar the Grouch


Oscar the Grouch really comes to life in this puppet. While not an unfriendly likeness, it still retains Oscar's edge that you don't find in most Oscar toys. It's interesting that they chose to blast the torso and back of the head with lighter green paint, a detail Cookie and Grover did not get on their fur. It's adds something, but it's a bit random. TOPPER Topper Oscar (1971-72) Softer rubber. More detailed texture.No Hong Kong markings on base. QUESTOR/GABRIEL Questor (1973-77) Gabriel (1978-79) Harder, darker rubber. Less detailed texture. Hong Kong markings on base. GABRIEL 1980 Harder, semi-translucent plastic. Brighter green. 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.
