How can I replace this teddy bear?

December 27, 2006 7:51 AM

Has anyone ever seen this red chenille teddy bear before?

We bought him from Target 3 years ago for my then-infant daughter, who has now all but used him up. He came with a silver bow and a tag that we, as responsible parents, promptly clipped off. I believe he was intended to be used as decoration rather than a toy, but my daughter fell in love immediately. Now, we need a replacement (or three) and can't find one anywhere.

It looks like something from Target's Amy Coe line. She does a lot of chenille baby stuff.

Response by poster: Thanks for the lead, but it doesn't seem to be her. Also, I forgot to mention that it was a seasonal item for Christmas.

Pier 1 imports carried those for several years, but I don't know if they had them this year.

I have one that's very similar that I bought at Value City a few years ago, red chenille and all. I think mine has a sporty green bow, though, Ill have to check.

Here it is. I think I bought it for a Christmas decoration, too, and it hasn't been used very much. Seems quite a bit different from yours, sorry. (yours seems bigger/floppy limbs etc...)

Response by poster: Cute but not it. Thanks for the effort, though. I'll keep an eye out at Target and Pier 1. Maybe an employee will remember it from a few years back.
