WILKINSON

 

Arrival Date: 11/12/25

Size: 17.5"

Year: 2025

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $142.50

Thoughts: Wilkinson was the only bear I preordered this year. Everyone else was an elf or a dragon or Belfry. He's my fourth bear of the year, as I chose pretty Miss Gabor and Sofia, and then fell for Cherry Pip. But Sofia and Cherry were secret releases, and I didn't want to fully commit to Miss Johnson (Gabor) until I saw her real colors. But Wilkinson? He was a must have right off the bat. I adore his colors. He's smaller than I expected, as he's on the skinny side, which is fine by me. He's still a very good size, but for some reason, I was envisioning him bigger. Lovely colors and cuddly with a great face. Love him!

BELFRY

 

Arrival Date: 11/12/25

Size: 9"

Year: 2025

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: BAMS

Thoughts: Itty bitty Belfry arrived today and he is perfectly cute. I love that teeny tiny face! 

TINDERFLAME

Arrival Date: September 2025

Size: 28" long

Year: 2024 (I think?)

Edition Size: 30 (Mine is #7.)

Designer: Kaycee Bears

Purchased From: Kaycee Bears

Cost: About $261

Thoughts: Oh, so much information I failed to log. I can't remember when Tinderflame was initially released, and I didn't take pics right away when he arrived, so I don't even remember the date. Neo came in September, so my guess is later that month, because October just ended and that feels too soon. Anyway, Tinderflame is my first ever Kaycee bought directly from her website. The experience was fine and I'd do it again. I honestly don't think I need any more dragons though. I do love Neo and Tinderflame a lot, but their lanky, floppy bodies don't make them the best cuddlers. The colors are absolutely stunning though!
