Thoughts: Third time's the charm! I knew when I saw Mardi Gras that I had to add him to my collection. However, this was one of the first times I've gotten a bear from CB Direct that I wasn't satisfied with. Normally, I have really good luck, but not this time. When he turned up on QVC, I ordered two more. I opened the first one and he wasn't much different from my original, but then I opened this guy pictured here and finally, here was the Mardi Gras I was expecting. I'm returning the other two to QVC. (It has way easier returns than CB Direct.) Nothing against my original guy. I was growing fonder of him and he is cute, but this one is what I wanted.
