This is a brand new edition for Rupert Bear from Margarete Steiff of Germany.  An 'open edition', which is denoted by the yellow label in his ear.  He is 25cm tall and naturally has his Steiff button in his ear.

This bear is made from woven fur, and is stuffed in a way that he is good and firm, unlike the plush bear which is soft and squidgey! He is fully jointed at his arms legs and head, like any high quality teddy bear.  Wearing his trademark clothing he is machine washable if he gets grubby, however, like anyone taking a bath, he needs to be naked!  Clothes may well shrink and he may turn pink from his sweater! Now that would be a sight to behold.

He is now in stock, however stock is limited.  Please bear in mind at this time of year orders are now being placed with all Manufacturers for Christmas, and demand is likely to be high during this period. If you wish one of these as a Christmas gift then I advise ordering early.

Delivery will be made by Royal Mail in the UK. The charges are £4.95 UK. International signed for Airmail is £11.06 for Europe and £16.92 Rest of the world.

Alfred Bestall always drew a brown Rupert on the cover of his annual, and did so until 1973.  The cover submitted by him for this annual did feature a brown Rupert, until someone changed him to white! What a mistake that was. The error caused the world of Rupert Bear to lose it's most celebrated illustrator, and this event has been talked about ever since.  A handful of annuals were eventually correctly printed and given to Alfred Bestall, and those that still exist have been changing hands at auctions over the past few years.  Two were sold last year and realised in excess of £20,000 each!

This fantastic version of Rupert Bear by Steiff has been made, in a way, to commemorate this event.  Limited to an edition size of 1973, the year of the error, this version is set to be one of the most collectable Rupert limited editions ever.
