Thoughts: Peppermint is actually my first 2021 bear bought from my usual stockist. My others were all Secret Collection except for Cubby Hole, who I bought from a local stockist. I hadn't planned on Peppermint, but knew I might be interested. After seeing pics of one in particular on Facebook, I put my name down for him. I ended up having to make a hard choice. There was one that looked like the one I fell in love with, but not quite as cute. Then there was this one. I ended up picking her with her unusual black stripes. I think I could eventually find another that looks like the one I fell for (he belongs to another collector and didn't come from my stockist), but finding another with facial stripes would not be easy. I haven't seen any other like her yet. I also wanted one with "freckles" and she has them. Peppermint is like Lettice in that she's a bit different in construction. It's similar to Lettice in that she's differently-stuffed than my other CBs. Her belly is very squishy, while her limbs are more firmly stuffed. Her ears are the most unusual though, because like Lettice, they're stiff. Her fur is soft and I think she's going to be a good cuddler. Also like Lettice, she's much bigger than I expected! 15" is really an odd size for CBs because they can be tall yet dainty or more massive like Lettice and Peppermint. She's definitely bigger than she appears in photos. Peppermint is wearing her own bow plus a necklace from my stockist.
