This post was read on another list: we have the same bear outside a Rocky Mtn Candy Shop here in town.
I've got a call in to them to see if they know the manufacturer.
Have any of you seen this bear & can help give Matt a manufacturer's name?

Hello fellow "Arctophiles"!
Did I spell that term right? Hope so!! My name is Matt and I'm a
puppeteer/animal imitator/mascot actor based in Northern California. I
have a background in prop/costume/plush toy fabrication although my
strength isn't in making bears, more in playing them for TV & films.
I've joined the group in hopes of learning more about the technical
side of bear making since I sometimes am faced with that challenge.
With luck I may have something to contribute to the group as well!
To see a bit of my bear work, check out some of my commercials here:

On to the hot subject today at AnimatronicBear.Com...
I have a television commercial coming up and the client wants me to
animate this particular plush bear. If I cant find one I'll have to
make it from scratch:

If I can find out the manufacturer I'd like to order one new. If
someone has one, I'd like to make them an offer. This has to happen
this week as we shoot next week.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!
Matt Brady
