Thoughts: Poncho was pretty low on my radar. I wasn't planning on ordering him but I do tend to be weak when it comes to bears being on QVC. I had added a bunch to my QCard to cover Scorch before I knew I was getting him from CB Direct. So when Poncho became available, I decided to order him. I'd asked in my main FB collector group for owner pics and someone posted a nice one of Pashmina, so I opted to give her a try as well. They both arrived today. I was surprised that I liked Pashmina better. Part of it is her better quality fur but mostly it's her face. Poncho is really cute, too, but he also reminds me a lot of Kingsley. Very similar expression. So Pashmina is the more unique of the two when you look at my hug as a whole. 

I don't often do pics of multiple bears in my collection log here, but I feel like this might help anyone who stumbles across this and wants to see the pair together. Pashmina has a much better quality of fur used on her limbs and most of her body. Poncho's is more cottony and less sleek. 

Pashmina also has very dark brown eyes that almost appear solid black. Poncho's are a lighter brown.
