stuffed animal: KAWS Sesame Street: Big Bird

Sesame Street has proven a mainstay of entertainment since 1969. Throughout the past five decades, the show has evolved. The once reckless Cookie Monster considers cookies a sometimes food. Oscar the Grouch resides near a recycling bin. Elmo knows to “look it up” on Smartie. Sesame Street continues to intermix hip sensibilities with timeless values to help kids grow smarter, stronger, and kinder.

In 2018, street artist KAWS teamed-up with UNIQLO to create a special range of Sesame Street products including hoodies, tees, and a set of five plush including Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie. The plush all had X's for eyes, which is a recurring motif in KAWS' artwork.
