Bears give us adults the same comfort as when we were little. I’m a 60y/o guy. I share my bear w/ grndtr, but Burt has loved all our fam. My wife gave me Burt 30 yrs ago. He’s been loved by one of us every single night. Well traveled, and even made it to TV once! **Q: Is this a sitting bear only? OR do his legs move freely/dangle?** A: Legs and arms move freely/dangle. Very soft, my son loves him. Bear is a little smaller than I thought he would be. **Q: My son really wants a cream bear (think "Vanilla") Is this bear cream-colored? It is hard to tell from the photo. He is really cute!** A: I just looked at mine and I'd say he is cream (not yellowish or dingy), very similar to the photo. I don't think I'd say he's the color of vanilla ice-cream, though, he's a bit darker than that. In the photo, it looks like he has a light above him so his color varies a little in the photo, but I'd say he's closest to the color of his paws in the photo.He's a very cute bear in person, too. **Q: is it machine washable? any that are?** A: I own 3 Gund Teddy bears (each of my kids have one) and they do really well in the wash. Just wash it on Delicate cycle and when drying, throw in a towel or two to help pull the water out. These bears hold up VERY well! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet whimsical 12" bear! *by on Reviewed in the United States March 13, 2024* 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 in two sizes. I was afraid the larger 18" Philbin would be too big and maybe heavier so I decided on the 12" beige 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: Their fur is not scraggly-looking! No idea why the photo looks that way. They are both good-looking bears. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best cuddly teddy bear on the market! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 15, 2026* Best teddy bear around!
