Australia-based skate company Globe created a new collection of Sesame Street skateboards. The line features the popular TV show's favorite characters including Big Bird, Elmo, Bert and Ernie, Cookie Monster, Count Chocolua and Oscar the Grouch.
Each board is made with the brand's signature Resin-7 construction that has been superimposed with traditional images of the characters. The brand matched the main color of each character with the base of the board in either blue, yellow, red, purple, orange or green.
As well as the skateboards, the brand will also contribute to the Sesame Street Yellow Feather Fund, which provides educational materials to children around the world. The new line of Sesame Street skateboards from Globe are available online now with prices ranging from $49.95 to $189.95.
