Size: 14"
Year: 2017
Edition Size: 1890
Designer: Isabelle Lee
Purchased From: Beacon's Glow
Cost: $76.95
Thoughts: I always thought Tatum and Tegan from the 2017 collection were cute, but I had other priorities and none of them from BAMS's photos really jumped out at me. Well, more recently, I've found myself wanting Tatum, so I asked Beacon's Glow for photos of their two. This one grumped at me from the screen of my laptop and I knew she was the one. I opened her when I got home today and was shocked. This bear's photos do not do her justice one bit. What looks in photos like a light gray on her face and the roots of her brown fur is more of a blue-gray. In natural light, it's less blue, but under the lights of my kitchen, where I first looked at her, she was decidedly blue-toned. Her arms, legs and ears are super soft and she's just the right pudge for a good hug. I love sassy little bears like this and the markings around this one's eyes are particularly perfect. In last year's collection, there were 2 sleeper bears that I liked in the catalog, but didn't pre-order. I picked both up eventually and they became favorites. Those two for 2016 were Chuck and Scrummy. I think Tatum is 2017's sleeper hit.
