Building
Each figure weighs 30 kilos (66 pounds), has an average height of 120 centimeters (47 inches) and was modeled within a time period of 4 months --the same ammount of time that takes to model a human figure. Clay models were modeled at first, which were later approved and authorized by Sesame Workshop.
