Thoughts: I've wanted Firecracker for ages and I missed out on a couple auctions from UK sellers. So I was hugely surprised when she turned up from a US seller. Unfortunately, this was at the same time as the QVC show and I had purchasing priorities. so I let her go without a bid, even though it pained me. I got lucky though and no one bid, so when she was relisted, I jumped on her and won with no competition. (Fools! You don't know what you're missing!) Firecracker is a smallish bear at 15.5" and she's one of the Magical Snugglies, so she's skinny. Like really skinny. Skinnier than my other Snugglies like Mystery, Luna and Scrummy. It works for her though. Her long hot pink bits stick out much farther than her black and I love that bow material. I think Smudge uses something similar. Of all my bears, I think Firecracker is my "me" bear. Mostly black but with bursts of bright colors. I wear mostly black, but I accessorize in brighter colors and I used to wear black with neon a lot. She's also got a bit of a bitch face! The black fur above her right eye comes down farther and the pink above her left hints at a raised eyebrow, so she looks like she's questioning everything you do with disdain...a face I make frequently at work.
