Posts: 18I got my first Boyd's bear today!!. I was looking around the same shop I got my beloved Blue Bear at, when I saw that they had Boyd's bears half off. I picked up a small bear wearing a hooded shirt thingy with ladybugs on it. I wasn't crazy about the outfit, but I loved the bear himself. And since the outfit was removable I saw no reason not to buy him ( although honestly I probably would have bought him even if it wasn't removable ).
He's about eight or nine inches tall, with brown fuzzy fur. He's also fully jointed. I've never had a jointed stuffed animal before. It's really cool. I've got him sitting by my keyboard as I type.
Watch out you will soon have hundreds sitting by you at the keyboard!!!!

Sophie Z'OursListen to another collector: once you are hooked, you cannot stop yourself buying more!
I began to buy teddy bears from Merrythought in November 2003, and have now more than 32 bears from them... And I have now to add the artist bears I added to my bear hug too!
Just to tell you now I am invaded my teddy bears and don't think anymore about trying to stop!
I remember telling myself: this one is the last... But then another joined, and another, and another...
Mind yourself! If you happen to visit the bears for sale in that forum, you may be tempted to buy even more bears than expected.
I am doing myself violence not to buy every bear I love. I feel so sad about letting great bears go with someone else or just stay because they did not find a home... But i am not rich enough to buy them all.
Have fun with your new bear!
Please post some pics!
Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Ha! I have 12 bears surrounding my keyboard and screen!!!
Isn't it exciting to adopt a new bear?!! 
Back Road BearsBoyds Bears were all I collected (and a few Gund and Bearington Collection... OK, I collected a lot of different brands but MOSTLY Boyds!) then I discovered artist bears... then I became an artist... so you can imaging after 35 years of collecting (I still have every stuffed animal from my childhood!!) how big my hug is!! I especially love the Boyds Bears that were made before the company was sold. They had a lot more personality and individuality! Their bears are still awfully cute though!
Whoohoooo!!!! Have FUN!!!!! :hug:
How neat that you have a new Bear friend to sit beside you at the keyboard.
Very exciting.

DoodlebearsGreat to have a new friend and it's good to have him sitting by your keyboard and now he can keep and eye on what were saying about bears. 
By my keyboard I have a little bear called Fran...why...because our dear friend Fran (Jazzyrags) sent her to me. 
Hugs Jane.
Happy collecting and welcome aboard... :hug:
Hugs,
