The Continental Bank kangaroo puppet is a premium created by Henson Associates for Continental Bank. The slogan of the Chicago-based bank was "It's the big bank with the little bank inside", and a kangaroo (representing the Big Bank) and joey (Little Bank) had long served as mascots for the bank. Sometime around 1975, Jim Henson agreed to create a puppet version of the mascots. Bank customers could order the puppet for free when depositing $300 or more into a new or existing account.
