Disguise — the costume division of Jakks Pacific — definitely knows the way to Sesame Street.

The company inked a renewal of its licensing agreement with Sesame Workshop to continue the design, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of costumes, accessories, and trunk-or-treat kits featuring new and classic characters made famous by the long-running series, Sesame Street.

“I grew up with Sesame Street, as did my children, so it is an honor and a pleasure to continue our partnership on a brand that is near and dear to the hearts of so many generations,” says Disguise President and General Manager Tara Hefter. “Disguise is very much a family brand and the Sesame Street characters echo those brand values and the costumes have always been a hit for both adults and children. Each year, we see families dressing as these lovable characters and we are delighted to continue to make them.”
