Curious about my favorite bear.

Toy Brown Bear

Toy Brown Bear

I've had this teddy bear since i was born in 2001, and 19 years later, I'm more curious than ever to figure out what kind of bear he is. I (accurately) named him floppy bear, as he's not stiff or posed, he's just... a partially empty bean bag (the beans are in his bum and the bottoms of his feet, though, the rest of him is just very lightly stuffed.) He's yellowish in color, and the only real "detail" besides his eyes is the very loose sewing for his eyes and mouth. This bear is so dear to me. He's the only stuffed animal that's stuck with me through my whole childhood. I thought I lost him for a few years, and I literally never stopped thinking about it. When I was around 8 or 9 years old, we moved houses, and I thought I left him at the top of my old closet. I couldn't find him in any of the bags or boxes we packed. I was HEARTBROKEN. In the entire time that he was gone, ANY time that I had recieved a new stuffed animal as a gift, I just couldn't help but think... "man, none of these could ever amount to floppy bear". A whole 10 years later, when very unfavorable circumstances took place and my family had to move again, we started the process of gathering our things. We had some bags and boxes in the basement that were filled with books and decorations and things, typical stuff. It was my senior year in high school at this point. When I had come home on one of the days during the moving process,there was two large garbage bags sitting on the porch. My mom wasn't home at the time, so i texted her and asked what they were, and they were two full bags of stuffed animals that she wanted me to go through. To my absolute shock, right at the top of the first bag was none other than floppy bear. I genuinely don't think I've been happier about anything in my life. He's the only stuffed animal I brought with me to my new house. So... anyway, getting to the point. If there's anyone out there that could help me identify what kind of teddy bear he is, I'd be forever greatful.

Brand??
by: Lindsey

Can someone who has this bear please tell me the brand name? I know it's not the TY bear. This is the only place I have seen this bear in my searches!

I have had this exact bear since I was a kid! My is named boo bear and I passed him to my oldest son. I've been looking for a replacement because he is well loved and falling apart! Can anyone tell me the brand? The tag has since fallen apart & I need to know!

OMG I have this bear!!!
by: BearScotland

I am actually crying a little while reading this and the comments about other people who had/have this bear. I very appropriately named mine bear and have had mine for nearly 20 years now. The love I feel for my bear is indescribable, I look at him and how floppy and well loved he is and my heart just bursts. I'm hoping to track down the withe version of this bear so that when I have my own kid they can have one just like mama 🥰🥰

My son had this same bear!!
by: Lindsey

I have been scouring the Internet for this bear for a couple of years, with no luck, until now! I cannot believe it! Did you ever find out the name/brand?? I have looked at the TY Slumbers bear but he just doesn't look the same to me. I know I'm late to the comments but if you could let me know I would be so grateful. My son's bear was accidentally donated with a bunch of other stuffed animals. He's 16 now and I'm definitely more upset then he is but I would love to find another "Big Bear".

Teddy ❤️
by: Anonymous

I’m almost 28yrs old and I still have my bear. I sleep with it and more so as my pillow. It’s name is Furry and it’s the one item that will go with me to my grave. I’ve had to add stuffing over the years and add beans sometimes because it goes flat after a while. I got this bear as a Christmas gift when I was 4yrs old and I intend to keep it going even with it’s wearing and aging because it’s my comfort object and has been the one item that’s comforted me in my hardest times and been here for my best. Now I’m trying to find another one so I can give one to each of my children as well.

I have three of these!!
by: Anonymous

I named mine Tickle Bear, Other Bear, and Brother Bear haha. Logically named, of course, because I wore down the fabric so fast that it became rough and "ticklish". I am so happy to have found this post, I never knew what brand they were from because all of the tags were ripped off. I've kept them with me throughout my whole life and they are very dear to me. I'm about to turn 18 and this is all I could have asked for.

I NEED IT FOR MY BOYFRIEND
by: Laura

OMG OMG OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE I FOUND THIS BEAR!!!!!!!!! He has had the same one but in cream/beige since he was a little kid and he is obsessed with getting the brown one (he calls it its Milwakee cousin xD) but the tag was cut when bought, around 16 to 18 years ago, and it was impossible to find the brand or name or anything.

It would make him the happiest man on earth for at least a whole year. Of course I am not asking you for your dear teddy, BUT PLEASE IF YOU COULD TELL ME THE BRAND AND NAME OR ANY DATA. So I can track it down to any possible seller.

This is really important for him and for me. Thanks. Wow it is really a miracle that I found you.
