If you "follow" your specific searches on ebay, you can get email updates whenever new matching items are listed. Then youcan go directly to the matching items from the email. Might save you some time. :)
This is a great tip I had no idea about. Thank you!
I have an idea that might work! I've done myself this when trying to identify a bear.
Google "20-inch teddy bear"....put that in quotes though, because Google will pull up exact listings for you. Then click on "images" and you'll see thousands of bear pictures. You can narrow it down by saying it like this:
tan "20-inch teddy bear"
light brown "20-inch teddy bear"or something along those lines and see what pictures the computer pulls up.
I took a quick peek...perhaps it's from Toys R Us...are they in the Dominican Republic?
I hope this helps
I did ! I searched for the most vague things. "light brown teddy bear, beige teddy bear, 20" teddy bear," even went through all of the Gund, Dan Dee, and Douglas bears there are in ebay. I must've gone through at least 5,000 bears yesterday :/
I found several that were very similar, but no perfect match.
We don't have a Toys R Us but we have like a spanish equivalent. I'm sure any bear that was sold internationally would've had a chance to be sold in our stores back home. My best guess is that it would be either an American or European brand. That's where we get most of our stuff from.
Is the bear made of cotton plush? That's a fairly unusual feature.
Good luck in your search!

I have no idea. Thanks.
I will definitely check every week, but I definitely looked pretty hard!
I actually put the vaguest things possible and look through thousands of bears individually. looked through all of the Gund, Dan dee, and Douglas bears there were in ebay.
Checking regularly is definitely something I have to do.
Well I tried searching for Dan Dee bears on ebay. None look like my Bob :/
I also tried Douglas, since I found one that looked similar to Bob.
I even found out what one of my other teddy bears is!
But no Bob :'(
Hi....Bob isn't a Gund, they never made feet like that. My guess is probably Dan-Dee Intl. They were sold in many big-box stores and toy stores. but the only way to make a positive ID on a bear like this is to find an identical one on ebay, which is certainly doable if you are willing to put the time in.
I see you have an Aurora "Bruiser"- nice choice...I have a few myself, they're very expressive bears and give great hugs :)
THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. I knew you guys knew your stuff well!
I will spend all the time I need in ebay to see if I can find another one like it.
Also thanks for also identifying my bigger bear, Alfonso! He was a gift so I had no idea what kind he was.
Hello Teddy Talkers
I just joined because I have a huge favor to ask. I need help identifying this bear I used to have but that my roommate lost while moving. After posting on Reddit about it and being redirected to this amazing Teddy Bear forum I thought I would give it a shot.
His name was Bob. He was about 20" tall, beige, furry, with a cream ribbon on. Some Redditors pointed out that he must've been a Gund bear because of the way his nose was stitched.
He was bought around ten years ago in the Dominican Republic, which means it must've been some major manufacturer that exported it to us (because we don't make teddy bears of our own).
Here are some pictures of him:
The black bowtie isn't his, I added that to him.
I will be eternally grateful to whoever helps me identify this bear, and I am willing to pay anything to get another one like him.
Please help.
