Furskin Bears
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Furskins was a series of plush toy bears in different sizes and guises created by Xavier Roberts in the 1980s. Furskins are a highly collectible item, yet are not as highly sought by collectors as Robert's most notable creation Cabbage Patch Kids.
The Furskins Bear series
Each Furskins Bear had its own unique attire, name and character background story in the valley of Moody Hollow.[2] Bear sizes were styled into two main types, with a novel third. A set of 8 original five-inch posable bears began the series, followed by a second set of 8 five-inch posable bears out of popular demand. A subsequent set of 16 twenty two-inch bears were created as the demand for the toy grew. The Furskins series was rounded out by the addition of 6 small bears.[3] Four special collectible bears were created for and sold at Wendy's for $1.99 during the 1980s.[4]
Additional clothing was available for Furskins, as were playsets, for collectors to own. Playsets included the Moody Hollow Express and Moody Hollow General Store.[5]
