Oscar the Grouch (Orange)

The Funko Pop! Sesame Street series, launched in 2013, was designed to bring the iconic characters of the long-running educational television program into the stylized, vinyl aesthetic of the Pop! line. Oscar the Grouch was released as figure number 03, capturing his signature disheveled look and grumpy expression. This specific version, featuring an orange coloration rather than his traditional green, was produced as a highly limited chase variant, a common practice in early Funko manufacturing to encourage collectors to hunt for rarer iterations of standard releases.

The design of the figure leans into the minimalist, large-eyed aesthetic that defines the Pop! brand, maintaining the character's trademark trash can accessory. While Oscar is almost universally associated with the color green, his orange variant is rooted in the early history of the Sesame Street show. In the program's debut season in 1969, Oscar the Grouch famously appeared in an orange hue before the puppeteers and producers settled on the now-iconic green, making this figure a deliberate nod to the character's evolving production history.
