Hasbro’s Haslab made a big splash a little more than a year ago when they launched their first toy-based crowd-funding project for the Star Wars Jabba’s Sail Barge. Now they’re back with something a little different, a little blue, and a lotta awesome. Haslab has just launched their Sesame Stree, Full-sized, Cookie Monster Photo Puppet.

If the idea of a photo puppet sounds familiar, it’s because Master Replicas released a series of Muppets in that form around a decade ago. Photo puppets are not the kind where you stick your hands up their butt, but the wire-framed versions that are used for photo shoots. At $299, this 38″ plush Muppet is just about perfect, all the way down to the googly eyes. Check out the pics and details below. Then, head here to place your order. They need 300 pre-orders to make Cookie Monster a reality.

C IS FOR COLLECTOR’S DREAM

“Friend something better than chocolate ice cream… Maybe friend somebody you give up last cookie for.” —Cookie Monster

For 50 years, Cookie Monster has been your friend: making you laugh, singing you songs, and entertaining you with his unapologetic appetite for COOKIES! “Om nom nom!”

And as Cookie Monster’s longtime fan and friend, you deserve the opportunity to bring home the ultimate collector item: a fully poseable, full-size, photorealistic Cookie Monster replica. Your very own version of a childhood icon. A dream collectible you’d give up your last cookie for.
Don’t worry, we’ve got you.

WHY COOKIE MONSTER ?

Because he’s been there from the start.
Because he’s a beloved fan-favorite. 
Because “C is for Cookie” is an anthem of our collective childhood.

Because to bring the dream of a full-size Sesame Streetproduct to life, we consulted with leaders and influencers in the Muppet fan community to voice fan opinion about character choice, product development, offering, and messaging—making this a by-the-fans, for-the-fans project, every step of the way.

This campaign will move into production when it reaches its minimum goal of 3,000 backers. All support must be received by 11:59 PM EST on August 25, 2019. You can own 38 inches of blue furry goodness by spring of 2020. Your payment method will be charged on August 25, 2019 if the campaign is successful.
