He is wearing a red bow, but I do not know if it was just put there after they got him. The woman I got him from knows nothing about the bear, though it has the name Lin and the year 1989 written on his bottom right foot pad. He is fully jointed, including the head. When he is standing, he is about 18 inches high. His eyes are, I think, plastic, and he has a stiched nose. He has synthetic fur (I did the candle test) and his body is quite firm to the touch, definitely not squishy and cuddly, and quite heavy for his size. He has a strange hump in back of him, between his shoulders. There is also a slight indentation in the center of his back, though that could be because of his hump.As you can see he has a long snout that is of a different texture to the rest of him. His paw pads are, I think, suede, or felt..definitely not cotton, though. His jointed limbs are easy to move up and down, and even sideways. He has stiching down his back and stiching on his front, and I think down the tops of his arms. What is this bear? Who is his maker and how old is he? Is he high quality?
Excellent
