(from imdb -- the Internet Muppet Database)
Tagline: “If a monster answers...hang on for dear life!”
Plot Outline: An ex- shag carpet carries out a plot to count to ten in
Spanish. When things go wrong, he improvises a brilliant plan B. (He decides to
start naming words that begin with the letter B).
Ok, I’ll stop now with the Dial ‘M’ for Murder references. In fact, no Muppets
at all were harmed in the making of this MOC. :-)
Welcome to Sesame Street!
They’re probably more Mini-Land scale (or, about Fabuland size) than minifig
scale, but I guess they’re as big compared to a minifig as one of those Sesame
Street Live / Muppets on Ice costumes are to the performers wearing them.
(Besides, since you hardly ever see a Muppet’s legs, who’s to say they aren’t
really this tall after all?)
My plan is to make a lot more characters, but for now I think this is just
enough so as not to clutter the diorama. The brick technique is something I was
fiddling around with the other day, and it works pretty well.
Here’s the stuff. Enjoy!
Mike “Count
Blockula” Crowley

| That's so cool, something that would do great as sets too! Love the Oscar in the carbage bin; you can almost here hear him crumpling :) Thanks for showing this. Casper (21 years ago, 1-May-04, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| Mike, Such a fun MOC and it evokes such great memories. I agree with others that Bert would be a good addition. What about Bob? He was always my favorite of the humans.
