Suri’s plushie looks more like Kitty the cat. It’s in Steiff’s newer collection and Kitty looks exactly the same as the cat Suri is holding. http://www.steiffusa.com/steiffstore/productdetail.aspx?productid=074943

Thanks for the post Steiff is such an amazing brand, especially because of its history and the amazing quality.

I’m glad to learn about Steiff and their USA site. I don’t mind splurging on a good quality stuffed toy or a nice blanket. Clothes they outgrow but these last forever. My hubby still has a stuffed cow that belonged to his grandfather and now it is my sons. My daughter would love the less expensive version of Suri’s cat, she can give it to her daughter one day perhaps.

If people were to actually click on the link, they would see that Steiff USA has plenty of reasonably-priced (18-25.00) teddies. The COLLECTORS EDITIONS are the ones that cost more than that, because they’re collectors editions.

I don’t know about the US, but at least in Germany Steiff also sells some much cheaper toys. They have different lines, targeted at different customers. The Classic Collection is really more targeted at adult collectors than at children, but, I guess, if you can afford it.. They’re really really nice though.

While I wouldn’t spend that much on a toy that will get dirty 10 minutes after receiving it, I would spend that much on a Steiff bear to add to a collection. They are the best made!

Geeze, $200 for an 11″ stuffed dog? I agree, even if I could afford this, it’s ridiculous. The $15.00 teddy bear we bought for our daughter at Toys R Us will do just fine.

I’m sure that they are really amazing stuffed animals…but, geez…besides celebrities who can afford a $750 teddy bear?

A $500 stuffed animal?????? Unless it comes with diamond eyeballs, it ain’t worth it!

Heck!
Forget actual toys, yesterday Shiloh was carrying around scotch tape! Give em the box. Kids always love the box!
