Thoughts: Kerri is stunning! Her facial markings are perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better one. She's a taller bear, but relatively skinny. She's got a tummy, but she doesn't have the girth of similar-sized bears. Her white fur is black-tipped. She's just a stunning bear and I love her.

Thoughts: Charlie Bears made their debut on QVC in the US on Tuesday, September 26th. The bears had gone up for sale on the website the night before around 11:30. I'd made my purchases and enjoyed watching the show at 5am. McKinley is the first American QVC exclusive. He was a limited edition of 1500 and sold out before the show was over. There are now a lot of new Charlie Bears collectors in the US! McKinley is a floofy tub. He's got a good heft and presence, even though he's not very tall. He has some new paw pads that are incredibly soft and the shaving of the for on the toes is a new feature, too.
