Review: Lovable chubby papa bear! - TL;DR version: Gund bears and stuffed animals have been around since I was a preteen so I wanted to find Gund teddy bears for two expected great-grands, one boy and one girl. I looked at all the Gund bears, read many reviews on each, and narrowed it down to Slumbers and Philbin. I decided on one of each and I'm delighted with both of them! Super soft, appear to be well made, and oh so huggable! Comparisons below and in the attached photo. Because I had already bought a soft cloth "first doll" for the expected girl, the first bear I looked for was for the expected boy. I'm fascinated by grizzly bears and wanted a (sweet) bear with that look for him. Slumbers seemed to fit that bill. One review said that Slumbers isn't as weighted as Philbin and although only an inch shorter than the larger (18" version) Philbin, Slumbers looked a good bit smaller because of Philbin's larger head. I ordered Slumbers and loved him so much I immediately ordered another for myself, LOL. I love his round fat tummy and big bear paws. After a few days of loving these bears I decided the girl must also get one at her baby shower, too, along with the soft doll (both are also getting small white fluffy lambs, but oh well!), but I wanted a different style for her and maybe a lighter color. Philbin is available in light and dark fur. I was afraid the larger 18" Philbin would be too big and maybe heavier so I decided on the 12" Philbin. He arrived today and is also perfect! Both look just like the photos on their product pages and both are adorable. Both will easily sit unsupported, although I can't detect that either is weighted. Both are lightweight. Both's legs will hang down when picked up. (I don't understand the review that said Slumbers is in a permanent sitting position; he isn't.) Both are very, very soft, have sweet faces, and are totally lovable and huggable. Both came sealed in a Gund plastic bag with an attached Gund tag and sewn-in label. The website says surface washable only, but several reviews mention gently washing and air drying with no harm. Slumbers is a 17" bear (about 11" when seated), and I got the 12" Philbin (9" when seated). Slumbers has a bigger body/tummy and smaller head and has a sweet papa bear look. Philbin has a proportionally larger head and smaller body and he has a sweet, more whimsical look. Philbin's front paws are proportionally larger. I love the big bear paws on their hind legs and both have those. Very pleased with these bears, and any of the others would probably be just as adorable. They also seem to be a good value for the brand and quality at the price I paid (about $24 for each.) However, the prices vary greatly from day to day, sometimes even doubling. These are great teddy bears for the young or old and I hope the babies will love them. Edit to add after looking at the photo I included: Their fur isn't as scraggly-looking in person as it appears in the photo! They are both good-looking bears.
Review: Gund animals are the best! - He is just perfect! Bought him for my granddaughter’s first birthday because every child should have a teddy bear. He’s large and soft and totally huggable.
