1998 Play-by-Play Giveaway Plush COCA-COLA BEAR Coke! - (eBay item 290178582394 end time Nov-12-07 18:06:07 PST)

This eight-inch tall Coca-Cola polar bear is wearing a red sports jersey and holding a bottle of Coke. He's new with tags, even though he came out in 1998.

The front of the hangtag says, "Always Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola® Brand Plush Collection." The back says, "Not for Retail Sale. Coca-Cola® and Coke® brand plush is produced under the authority of The Coca-Cola Company, owner of the trademarks Coca-Cola, Coke, Always Coca-Cola Polar Bear, the design of the Coca-Cola Seal and the design of the contour bottle. ®The Coca-Cola Company, All Rights Reserved. Distributed by Play-by-Play Toys & Novelties, San Antonio, Texas 78218. Not recommended for children under 3 years of age. Caution: Remove all plastic fasteners and hangtags before giving to child. Made and Printed in China."

The butt tags say, "Coca-Cola® brand Plush Collection. All new material. Contents: polyester fibers." It repeats much of the info on the hangtag, then another tag says, "Not to be removed until delivered to the consumer," and repeats contents info.

I just love his face.

JUMBO MICKEY Cloth Doll Fisher-Price Mattel Disney 2000 - (eBay item 290178578581 end time Nov-12-07 17:55:46 PST)

JUMBO MICKEY Cloth Doll Fisher-Price Mattel Disney 2000 - (eBay item 290178578581 end time Nov-12-07 17:55:46 PST)

This jumbo Mickey doll is 25" tall--not that he'll stand up. He prefers sitting. He's wearing a red tee marked "M" and "Mickey" on the chest, with tan cargo pants and blue and white sneakers. His tail comes out through a slot in his pants.

The tag says, "Fisher-Price, Inc., New York, New York 10010 U.S.A. Made in China ©2000 Mattel, Inc., © Disney, Ohio Reg. No.: PA 274."

The other side of the tag says, "94669/94672 Asst. Jumbo Mickey, Surface Washable Only, Filling: All New Materials: Polyester Fiber, Plastic Stiffener." A number is stamped on it: "198IEL."

When I took the photos, he had a small mark on the left side of his nose, and his white gloves were a mite gray. They cleaned up pretty well with a damp cloth, so he's looking more spiffy now.
