Wow, that is absolutely crazy! What's amazing is how well (and character accurate) everything was constructed.

If you are wondering where Bert's legs came from, here's a guide on how they made the Bert rockets.

I really like the flying cap on the one Bert doll. He wore something similar one time when pretending he was flying in the Sesame playground with Maria. I think they were sitting in two chairs. It was a fantastic piece.

Bert has been known to wear a dress every now again as well due to Ernie's shenanigans.

Anyone download the launch video? Absolutely hilarious!!!!!!!!! There was one that they said went cartwheeling off the pad but you can only just catch it for a split second in the video. I really wanted to see that, as I've been laughing at the thought of it for the last ten minutes!!

Nothing stops creativity.
