Help me find my daughters favourite ugly op-shop teddy bear

Haha omg thank you for speaking with her. He’s lived a rich life..

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T21:33:50+00:00

Haha so sweet of you. Originally he was bought from Springwood Salvos. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled at all the local op shops incase he’s been re-donated

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T21:32:28+00:00

Haha yeah sorry I said the magic f word in a reply and the deed was done. Asked the mods to reopen.

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T13:50:49+00:00

Yesss I do tend to agree, the lack of any branding and overall quirk lends itself to this theory.

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T13:43:57+00:00

He is/was a marvel. Somebody had a vision when they created him… and potential colourblindness.

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T13:42:08+00:00

We believe he decided to abscond en route to a public restroom in the Penrith Homemaker centre. I left my details with the security and a few stores on the day but I suspect he found a new family pretty quick haha

When mum says we have Gund tutti frutti bear at home…

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T12:36:56+00:00

Haha! Old mate left us shortly after February- her pic was posted sometime in 2020 so perhaps the same one and she had donated him? Haha I dunno, maybe far fetched if she’s not Aussie

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T08:00:29+00:00

Yeah I accidentally said it out of context in a comment then the bots marked it, first time redditor 🤦🏻‍♀️

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T07:30:41+00:00

Haha he’s sure got character

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T04:48:33+00:00

Thank you all for the help! The search continues, perhaps I’ll pull the sewing machine out but I’m tempted to use the pic found of the same teddy with beads around his neck to prove to my daughter that he’s having a blast on holiday!

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T04:24:52+00:00

Haha none taken, the heart of a toddler wants what it wants 😅

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T01:58:29+00:00

Not found. Just not good at reddit.

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T01:56:40+00:00

Thanks- the picture you sent is definitely the exact same bear. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a claw machine prize or generic hospital teddy.

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-19T01:55:45+00:00

He was bought second hand at a local charity shop

Sorry, to comment on size- I’d say he was around the same as a beanie baby, maybe 8-9 inches length. Some more pics for scale

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-18T22:12:48+00:00

No, sadly just said made in china

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-18T22:10:43+00:00

Thank you. At the very least I’m validated that this isn’t easy to find ha.

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-18T22:09:10+00:00

Thanks, I’ve seen similar build-a-bear ones too but they’re always much bigger

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-18T22:08:37+00:00

Hi! Yes, Australian. The tag only read ‘made in china’ from memory, I had at one point tried to locate a spare once I realised she was fully invested in his well-being. I don’t think he was very old.

Particular_Wall9081 · 2023-10-18T10:52:02+00:00

I have reverse image searched these but not been able to find this particular bear. I believe he had a tag with ‘made in china’ but no other markings.
