There are three different models of these colorful plastic toys. They are: Big Bird driving a red fire engine, Ernie riding on an airplane, and Cookie Monster sitting on a scooter with a clear plastic carrier on the back that contains chocolate chip cookies. None of the characters can be removed from their vehicles. All three models have the same item number, 75110. Embossed on the under-carriage of each vehicle is the following: "CTW JHP, INC.

These toy vehicles were sold nationwide from June 1991 to January 1992. Each toy sold for approximately $3.99 each. The firm reports that some of the distributors of these toys include, Boscov's, Long Island Consortium, Marbal Drug Corp., Ocean State Jobbers, Rose's Store, Shepher Distributing, Super Dollar Discount, Thrift Drug, Toys 'R Us, F.W.
