Baby Bear

Baby Bear is a walk-around character that debuted in 2005 at Sesame Place.

The character debuted on Sesame Street in the early 1990s. He wears short overalls with his name on them. On TV he doesn't usually wear any clothes.

He is still listed as a character on the Sesame Place website but doesn't appear in any of the current shows or the Neighborhood Street Party parade.

Big Bird's Tie

At Sesame Place the Big Bird walk-around character wears a necktie. The purpose for this is because the performer's head is in Big Bird's neck and the performer looks out through mesh material in the tie.

And at some point he had yellow spots on a purple tie:

I don't know if there were other variations.
