This extra-soft Gund bear has details like a knit winter hat. View larger. |
This Gund plush toy is made of high-quality, plush materials with an attention to detail; his fur is unbelievably soft, the detailed pads on his paws are designed to last, and his hat is made of knit fabric, just like the cap you pull over your ears on cool days, and features the famous amazon.com logo in bold white across the front. The bear's ears also poke out through an opening in the cap, making him even more adorable.
About Gund: America's Original Plush Toy Company
Gund's classic teddy bears have an appeal that spans generations. Everyone from infants to adults can appreciate the results of Gund's quality craftsmanship. This is much of the reason that, in addition to being great playmates, these well-designed bears have established a track record as collectors items. Unlike many cheaply-made toys, Gund bears are prepared to stand the test of time.
Gund was one of the first companies to design and produce teddy bears. Founded by German immigrant Adolph Gund in Norwalk, Connecticut in 1898, Gund is the leading soft toy manufacturer in the U.S. Their unique teddy bears and other soft toys are internationally recognized as innovative and high quality. A trademarked under-stuffing technique gives Gund plush bears and toys their unique, extra-huggable feel.
Gund has always been committed to product safety, and the company set an important industry standard by devising a way to attach eyes securely to plush animals, preventing them from being pulled out by small children. The company is also known for producing an early, affordable musical toy, and creating well-known characters like Snuffles the bear and Muttsy the dog.
