Someone I know who works at Sesame Place told me that he walked around or was in a show as Jackman Wolf, just as an add to your list.

I am not sure if they were at the Park, but I know that they both have been in LIVE shows in the 1980s. I saw an 80s show back in 1994 with Guy in it.

P.S. Jackman Wolf=Big Bad Wolf(see list above).

Hey MuppetFan123, long time no see you round these parts.
So... what's the show from the 90's with the character named DJ? He was kind of like a greenish alien who came to SS and joined up with the rest of the gang.
As for the Case of the Missing Bird, though I might not remember watching it, I know my family did go see it and I still have some memory of what happened cause I have the animated book depicting the adventure.
Hope this helps and have a good weekend.

Wow! I kind of had a feeling that Forgetful Jones, and Two Headed Monster existed in LIVE shows, but I never knew there was Frazzle, or Gladys, or Simon Soundman, or even Clementine. Sweet!
Anyone have pictures of them?

Count, would you consider adding "SS Live" Muppets to your list?

The Count

Don't rully know about that one. Guess I'd need some convincing, either from my trusted sources or from myself one way or another. Let's just leave them for further consideration for the next version of the list for now. Got plenty to update, which you'll see when V16 goes online. Course, still sorting through the clips to finalize V16 before posting it though.
Hope this helps answer your question.

Here's one piece of information to help: Michael Frith, a former Muppet design consultant, designed a number of the characters.

Actually, Oscar was both a hand puppet and a walkaround character.

Here's the puppet:

Here's the walkaround:

BTW, Hoots and the Wolf were puppets and not walkarounds.

Not 100% sure, but I believe there's a Sesame Place in Mexico, and they have a walkaround Abelardo Montoya (the Mexican Parrot version of Big Bird) as Walk arounds. They may also have Pancho and Lola, but I'm not even that sure.

Yes, you're right about Hoots, but The Wolf was a costume, I've actually seen a photo of him off the float before standing in the parade. ;)

BTW, Hoots and the Wolf were puppets and not walkarounds.I'm not sure about Hoot, but the Wolf is a walkaround - I shook the guy's hand before he mounted the float for the parade. This was several years ago so they may have changed since then, but the Wolf was a walkaround (and I think he still might be). I would like to say however he was one of the best looking (in terms of looking like the original puppet version) walkarounds I have seen.

I double Checked. Yes indeed Abelardo Montoya and Lola are Walkarounds..

I wonder how the Two-Headed Monster was performed as a walk-around. It would probably be hard for one person (at least one one-headed person) to wear a two-headed monster outfit without one head looking limb.
