Oscar the Grouch walk-arounds
Full-body puppet/costumes of Oscar the Grouch created for various stage shows and public appearances. In these appearances, Oscar is portrayed as a large puppet operated from inside a full-scale prop trash can, as seen in the Sesame Street Live shows and at Sesame Place. The puppet is made to be heavier and larger than the real Oscar puppet on Sesame Street, this way he will not look small compared to the other Sesame walk-around characters, though there have been some exceptions. Actual full-body walk-arounds of Oscar are very rare, and some are able to walk with the feet sticking out at the bottom of the can.
