GROVER (Sesame Street / Muppets) superhero PVC

  This is a 4" PVC of Grover, who is dressed up as an airborne superhero, complete with a silver hat/cap, raspberry-colored superhero cape (tied around his neck with an orange bow), and a bright red "G" on his chest in a yellow area.  Below Grover's feet, there is a cloud of grey smoke . . . as if SuperGrover just propelled himself upward with his super strength.  This item was manufactured by Applause.  Although it bears no copyright year, it probably dates to the later 1980s or the 1990s.  It is in NM+ condition, with some tiny specks of paint wear and no damage anywhere on the item.

GROVER, ERNIE, & BERT (Sesame Street / Muppets) carousel musical

  This nifty item is an 8.5" plastic carousel musical toy, showing Grover as a cowboy riding backwards atop his prancing pony, Ernie happily waving hello from the seat of his (what else?!) oversized yellow Rubber Duckie, and Bert plainly riding his off-white dove.  When the Sesame Street signpost on top of the carousel is turned, the characters revolve (to make the toy have carousel-like action) and the music plays.  Although the carousel's motion is a bit jerky, it does work and the characters do revolve as they should.  The music also plays just fine, although we do not recognize the song it is playing.  This item was manufactured in 1979 by CBS Toys.  It is undamaged but does show signs of use and play wear.  Overall, it is in EX to EX+ condition.
