One of the best purchases I've ever made!! Dec 28, 2008
This puppet is awesome. I've had it for four days and so far everyone I've shown it to absolutely loves it. Today I think I spent an hour entertaining three kids and several adults with this thing during a family Christmas party. The mouth is very durable and the hands are basically gloves and are very flexible. I wish I had a third arm so I could work both hands and the mouth at the same time. All you need to do to keep the kids entertained is just grab random objects with his hands and shove them into his mouth and "chow down". Add some decent sound effects with your own voice and it's guaranteed to be a huge hit with the kids and adults. If you're looking for any puppet to entertain with, Sesame Street themed or not, this is the one to pick up. This is worth way more than what it's being sold for.
Cookie!!! Dec 07, 2008
To be honest, I probably bought this more for me than my daughter when I saw it a couple of years ago. But at 2 1/2 years old she has grown to love her Cookie Monster friend and is finally a bit taller than him. Seeing him talk or use his hands is nothing but pure joy for her. When she was younger she was a bit scared of him when I made him move, but not any more.

 Great gift for Cookie Monster fans Sep 02, 2008
I purchased this Cookie Monster puppet for my girlfriend's birthday. She loves that his hands are essentially gloves... which means you (as the puppeteer) have the finger dexterity to pick up COOKIES and shove them into the mouth of the puppet, which can munch away under the control of your other hand.
After testing, we recommend hard sugar cookies for this puppet. They only produce crumbs, but no stains.
When not in use, Cookie can be displayed and posed like any other stuffed animal - an added bonus.
Personally, I would have paid considerably more money for this toy if his fur was the correct color dark blue, and (most importantly) if he had hard plastic eyes with spinning pupils.
As he is, however, The 27" Cookie Monster Puppet is a well made toy that is a total blast to play with at any age.
Ommm nom, nom, nom (oh, delicious) nom, nom (yeah) nom!

Almost Like Having the Real Monster Dec 28, 2007
As of now, this is the closest product to a Cookie Monster replica available. Well worth the price. It serves well as a large plush toy, having a soft, furry body. All of the puppet features work great. The mouth is controlled by putting your hand through a soft hole directly in the back of the head. This allows for easy mouth control, as well as neck movements. His hands are like attached gloves and each finger moves freely. You can get him to make a fist, point his finger, give a thumbs up, or even use the middle finger profanely. As far as durability, I was afraid that Cookie Monster would shed, but he has held up very well. It would have been nice to have googly eyes, but overall this is great.
Just like the real cookie monster Dec 25, 2007
This Cookie Monster puppet was such a joy. I bought it as a gift for a Cookie Monster fan. The body hair is soft and comfortable. You can place both hands into Cookie Monster's hands (they fit like gloves) from behind and make movements just like in Sesame Street. In addition, you can insert another hand (it helps to have 3 hands...or an extra puppeteer) into the back of his head to control his mouth movements. Then Cookie Monster comes to life!
One thing I would've liked to see would be more diverging eyeballs. The one I received had eyes that looked straight ahead. I would've been better if the one eye had been facing upward, and the other eye facing downward.
Nevertheless, an adorable puppet, just like the real thing!
