Splurge



Splurge is a tall purple monster, who appears in the special Hey Cinderella! In that special he expresses a great fondness for radishes.

The puppet was built in 1965 for the first Hey Cinderella pilot, and he has the distinction of being the first larger-than-life Full-Bodied Muppet that Jim Henson built.

A hand puppet version of Splurge made a few appearances on Sesame Street during the first season. This version is distinct from the full body form in that it has no (moving) mouth, longer arms, and a moving belly.
