Abby Cadabby
Maybe it's not fair to pick on Abby Cadabby. Maybe she really was just an attempt to bring a new major female character to Sesame Street, and a new non-specific culture (i.e. Fairy). But such was her instant prominence and merchandising bonanza Abby feels like a crass marketing attempt more than a character. She was instantly put on pretty much all Sesame Street merchandise, and had a ton of merchandise of her own — indeed, if Sesame Street was trying to turn her into an Elmo for girls and infinite cash generator, they couldn't have succeeded any more completely.
