Educational Toys, Inc., a division of Topper Corp., produced the first line of Sesame Street toys in 1971, including a set of five hand puppets -- Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster. A sixth puppet, Roosevelt Franklin, was added in 1972. Count von Count was also made, but was only sold in Canada. The Ernie, Bert and Roosevelt Franklin puppets had vinyl heads, with stuffed arms. The Roosevelt Franklin puppet came with a plastic "wand", which could be attached to the puppet's wrists to move its arms.
