The first line produced in 1973 included the same six characters that Topper had produced -- Ernie, Bert and Roosevelt Franklin with vinyl heads and stuffed arms, plush fabric Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster puppets, and a full-body plush Big Bird. Questor added a seventh character to the line, a plush fabric Grover. Ernie, Bert, Roosevelt Franklin and Grover were packaged with a plastic "wand", which could be attached to the puppet's wrists to move its arms. The Oscar and Cookie Monster puppets did not have a plastic ring that would move the puppets' arms, as the Topper puppets did.
