Bernie Bear



15'' Bernie Bear

Meet Bernie Bear! He's just announced his run fur president and is ready to hit the campaign trail. A passionate, blunt speaker; he'll quickly tell you, "I am not a circus Bear, I am not a dancing Bear, I am not a toy Bear." Arrives wearing a gray suit, white shirt, blue tie, glasses, campaign pin and iconic unruly hair. Handmade in Vermont, USA using the softest fur we can get our paws on and 100% recycled stuffing. Guaranteed for life. Receives free universal Bear Care at our Teddy Bear Hospital.

This Bear is currently available as a pre-order with an estimated ship date of June 1st.

I think I will. After further consideration, I'll skip the bear and give the money to Bernie.

They'd sell a lot of them. Say, $25 of every bear goes to Bernie.

He is $92.98 with standard shipping (no tax because I'm not in Vermont). A little steep but he is 15" tall apparently.
