ROMAN

Arrival Date: 10/20/19

Size: 19"

Year: 2019

Edition Size: 1100

Designer: Heather Lyell

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: Free with my rewards ($97.95 retail)

Thoughts: Roman was my big want of 2019's pre-orders. I adore him. There's just something about this big blue floof that I adore. He's sweeter in person. His dark blue face doesn't photograph super well. And he has the same awesome fur texture as Eleanor, so I know he'll be just as cuddly as she is.

SARGE (Rehomed)

Arrival Date: 10/20/19

Size: 12"

Year: 2019

Edition Size: 600 (Mine is #205.)

Designer: Alison Mills

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $97.95

Thoughts: Sarge is my second from the Fables series. He's the ant from The Ant and the Grasshopper. He's so nicely detailed! I wish the pic showed it better. He's even jointed at the...er...torso? I can't wait to get my other layaway home, so Winco Hopper can join him.

PATTY (Rehomed)

Arrival Date: 10/20/19 (Rehomed 3/15/21)

Size: 14" (not including horns, of course)

Year: 2019

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $67.95

Thoughts: Patty is a lovely highland cow. I knew she'd be cute. This year's Bearhouse collection is just stellar and she's fitting right in with Windypops and ZigZag. Like them, she's on the hefty side and that always makes for a good cuddle.

FAIRYCAKE (Rehomed)

Arrival Date: 10/20/19 (Rehomed 7/23)

Size: 12"

Year: 2019

Edition Size: 1550

Designer: Heather Lyell

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $55.95

Thoughts: Fairycake was on my pre-order list, but she wasn't one I was fully convinced of. But she's cheap as far as CBs go and she's going to sit well with Angelcake, the bigger fluffier purple bear. I really like her now that she's here and I've gotten to hold her. She's quite a squishy, soft little bear, which means she'll be good for cuddles.

CLOCK

Arrival Date: 10/20/19

Size: 15"

Year: 2019

Edition Size: 2900

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $89.95

Thoughts: This stunning silver lion pairs with Dandy, the white lion. Dandy was originally the one I wasn't sure of and Clock was always a definite. In person, he's still a definite! He is absolutely beautiful and he seems nice and cuddly, too. 

BAMSE

Arrival Date: 10/20/19

Size: 18"

Year: 2019

Edition Size: 1350

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: BAMS

Cost: $113.95

Thoughts: Bamse was not originally on my pre-order list. He was just off it. I really thought it over and thought I had too much. I ended up adding him when I saw the first owner pics from the UK and just fell for him. By then, I was also getting Michelle, who's basically Bamse but in shades of brown. My only disappointment is that because I didn't pre-order him right away, I was down farther on the list and missed out on the one I really fell for. But this guy called me, too, and he's a doll. Like Michelle, he's very soft and cuddly. I'm also a big fan of green, so I'm happy to have another green addition.

HARPER (Rehomed)

Arrival Date: 9/27/19 (Rehomed 11/23)

Size: 13"

Year: 2019 Secret Collection

Edition Size: 1060

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: QVC

Cost: $66.12

Thoughts: Harper is sister to Sienna. She's done in grays rather than browns and creams, so of course I favor her. Sorry, Sienna. She's a sweet, soft little thing. Adorable!

KOKO

Arrival Date: 9/27/19

Size: 11"

Year: 2019 Secret Collection

Edition Size: 1020

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: QVC

Cost: $63.60

Thoughts: Koko is I think officially sister to Kay, but mine's a boy. I put him on the shelf with Dakota, Elizabeth, Tatum and other blue and tan bears and he looks great. Like Kay, he has a tiny tail, which I love. And I'm a total sucker for this new paw style. I think I have almost all, if not all, of the bears that have them!

JASON

Arrival Date: 9/26/19

Size: 19"ish

Year: 2019 Secret Collection

Edition Size: 950

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: QVC

Cost: $97.54

Thoughts: I wasn't totally sold on this guy from the sneaky peeks catalog, but everyone kept going on about him. When he appeared on QVC's website, I ordered one, so I wouldn't miss out if I liked him during the show. They zoomed in on a pair of them sitting on the shelf before his presentation and I was very glad I'd ordered. I think he sold out faster than any other bear I've seen on the shows! The host described him as "beefy," which amused me, but it's pretty true. He's a chonky, furry guy. I love all the colors in his long fur. He reminds me a little of Kuma. Not face-wise, of course, but something about his fur. He's not exactly my type of bear, but he's seriously gorgeous and I love him.

DOOLIE

Arrival Date: 9/26/19

Size: 9.5"

Year: 2019 Secret Collection

Edition Size: 940

Designer: Isabelle Lee

Purchased From: QVC

Cost: $52.56

Thoughts: Doolie was a no brainer. I loved Diddums, so getting his kinda honey-colored brother seemed necessary. Only mine's a little girl. If you want a smaller bear, I highly recommend this pair. They're tiny, soft and super cute.
