So, I’m a very perfectionist person and I wanted a bear that is simple and classic with good quality. I’m gonna make a detailed and very honest review, and I also put lots of photos of the bear, because it was upsetting that I couldn’t find much information about this specific size of Honey bear. • It came in a plastic bag and not a box, which personally didn’t bother me but I think you should keep in mind if you wanna gift it to someone. When I took it out, it was shedding a lot (you can see the picture of my leggings for reference). I think this makes it kind of not suitable for small children/babies. After some playing around with it and brushing it with my hands it stopped shedding tho, which was good. My initial fear when I purchased this bear, was it’s face. It looks different in Amazon’s pictures and different in some Steiff’s original pictures. I personally didn’t want it to look like the Amazon ones because it looks very goofy and smily, I wanted it to be a little more messy with the fur around the eyes and mouth. Mine eventually came and looked like Amazon’s but that’s I guess a preference. I managed to fix it tho, I realised the reason this happens, is because the sewing process of the mouth and eyes falls over the fur so some of them get stuck under it. I used a tweezer and softly pulled some hair under the sewing and they instantly fall over it, without ruining anything. I don’t know if I’m explaining it well, but anyway I hope you understand. The bear has a good weight, not heavy but not completely light. It has a bean bag on its bottom so it can sit properly, in the paws and feet. I didn’t measure it but it’s definitely not 38 cm sitting, I believe it’s 38 cm with the legs combined, because it’s almost the same size as a 33 cm sitting plush I have. I also put pictures of me holding it for reference! • My conclusion on this plushie, is that I don’t regret buying it, the sewing of it looks steady and that it will last. It’s very comfy sleeping with it as an adult but I think it’s gonna be perfect for a child too, maybe not a baby in the 38cm version. The shedding made me rethink it’s quality, but now that it stopped I’m just enjoying the new incredibly soft fur that it has. The face is extremely cute, much more after I fixed it a little but that’s completely up to you and personal preference, I just wanted it a little more messier looking, and also I believe since it’s supposed to be handmade that it’s gonna be different looking for every person and not exactly the same. (Not sure if this specific range is handmade but that’s what steiff advertises in general). I mean even if it’s not I can understand that the fur moves so it can’t get sewed exactly the same way over it in every plushie. Anyway, I’m sorry if this was too much to read, I felt I wanted to make a very detailed review, and I hope it helps a little, especially collectors or perfectionists.
