Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Beloved plush toymakers Gund are at it again with the adorable, silky Amazon Mascot Plush. One of the oldest stuffed toy manufacturers in the U.S., Gund has been a pioneer in creating cuddly toys for more than 100 years. The results are spectacular; it's hard to find a softer stuffed toy anywhere. Designed for children ages two and older, the Amazon Mascot Plush bear is plush and huggable.

Amazon Mascot Plush Ages: 2+

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Bear is very soft, plush, and cuddly. The Challenging: The larger size could make the bear hard to take on outings if you've got limited room. In a Nutshell: This bear will be a great best friend for a lucky child.

So Cuddly You Might Steal it for Yourself
Super plush and huggable, this bear measures nearly two feet long (one foot when its in a sitting position), providing a lot of bear to love. It is the ideal size for an older toddler who wants a companion. With a friendly smile on its face and a jaunty red "Amazon.com" hat, the bear has a soothing charm that can calm your child in times of distress. It's got two movable arms and legs, so it's easy to make it walk, give hugs, or do other playful things.

Silky-Soft with Movable Arms and Legs
The unparalleled softness of the bear makes it very nice to touch and hold. Its red hat looks like an old-fashioned nightcap, which makes it an ideal toy for your child to go to sleep with. The big, movable hands and arms are flexible without being floppy. If we have any complaints about this huggable bear, it's that his pink tongue and black nose are not quite as soft as his fur.

What's in the Box
Stuffed bear with red "Amazon.com" hat.

This review is from: 2009 Amazon Exclusive Limited Edition Tan Bear by Gund (Toy)

Ever since I was a kid, I only wanted stuffed bears from Gund and had a bunch of the "snuffles" bears growing up. When I saw that Amazon was offering an exclusive Gund bear, I was pretty excited for myself! My kids have a giant net full of bears and animals so I plan on keeping this one for myself.

Amazon.com's 2nd Limited Edition Gund bear is a good-sized bear at around 16 inches long, flat. The fur is as cuddly, plush and soft as ever. He looks like he might be a cousin of Alfie the Bear. I normally do not like clothing or accessories on stuffed bears. I don't care for the tassels on the cap so I may remove it at some point. The eyes are plastic buttons so kids under 2 should be supervised. The tan color is just plain classic. By the way, the 1st Limited Edition bear was a polar bear. I like the 2nd Edition more because the arms and legs are free to move around whereas the polar bear had formed legs.

Thanks Amazon.com, for a fun little holiday bonus!

I really wanted the white and blue 1st Amazon bear...but was too late to get one :( This one was offered as a promotional item, but is nice enough that it is even worth buying! He is very soft and squishy! Just what you want in a bear! I was worried that his hat would have the ears attached to it, but (nicely) the hat has little holes so his ears poke through. The hat is tacked on in 4 spots, but I am going to leave mine on. He is sturdy enough that he can sit upright without support. Plastic eyes, different color fur foot pads and mouth, and a velvety nose. I measured about 16 inches lying flat on the table (not pulling his legs taut.)He has the cutest little happy face. My kids were almost fighting over it! I might have to get another one!

We got 2 of these for free with a Big A special. I am not a Gund connoisseur by any means, but these bears are extra soft, appear well made, and are extremely cute. There were no visible defects. All was in good order. For a freebie, you cannot go wrong. Not sure I would spend $30 for one, but as a throw in special it was great. For the few customers who complained about the quality, just return them as the Big A has a fantastic return policy. Maybe they got "lemons"; It happens, but the Big A always stands by their products. I am sure the replacements would be like the ones I got....perfect. HO!HO!HO!
