Hi everyone,

Does anyone collect stuffed elephants in addition to bears? I like stuffed elephants, and I'm trying to locate one that I found on ebay, loved, but somehow managed to miss. It was gray, fairly large, somewhere between 20 and 28 inches, and lying flat on its stomach with its legs stretched out. It had round, chubby, baby-elephant cheeks and a straight trunk, not curled or lifted- sort of like this Dumbo: http://www.ebay.com/itm/371118783787?_t … EBIDX%3AIT I remember it having a textured fur (slightly shaggy, or nappy, again similar to the Dumbo, not smooth or shiny, and no realistic wrinkles).

Does anyone know of a brand that would have produced an elephant like this?

Like this one? http://www.amazon.com/Aurora-Plush-Supe … B0006U8434 (Oops - There's a lifted trunk on this one.)

Well, I don't think it's currently being made- maybe 90s-early 2000's at the latest. And it defintely wasn't a Steiff. And that last one certainly looks appealing! Thanks for your help!  bear_original

Whoa, 60 inches! Definitely too big!  bear_laugh I'd buy him if he were about 30", though.

Yes, I'm definitely tempted by that one. bear_wub Even though it's not "the" elephant that I'm searching for.  :)

P.S. Just found the Wild Republic one on Ebay for $25.99 plus shipping.  bear_happy

I'm quite fond of elephants too. This is my mate Reg doing a spot of sunbathing:

I've just treated myself to the Ikea jumbo Klappar elephant for Christmas (via eBay). He's incredibly snuggly. bear_wub
