Do you collect used bears and have any in particular you're looking for? My local thrift shop gets wonderful bears--some with their price tags attached still--and I only go for the koalas, but would be glad to keep an eye out for ones you're looking for. They sell them all for a dollar or a two.
That's incredibly nice of you! I'm not looking for anything in particular (unless you come across a Steiff Alfonso...though if you do, for God's sake, grab him, put him on eBay, and he'll keep you in koalas for months). They're kind of like cats -- you don't know you've got one until the cat tells you so, if you know what I mean.
Have you seen the wicked cool National Geographic mom and baby koala? She's got huge leather claws with which to defend him. Or climb. I'm not sure what they do with their claws.
I spent all last week trying to convince Mom that the refs at the Australian Open were making such bad calls because of their frequent koala-related injuries. She hit me with a cushion.
Will keep my eyes open for the Steiff. Umm, not sure, but me, I'm picky about stuffies' faces--if it doesn't appeal to me it don't come home with me. And if it don't want to come home with me, then it knows to screw up its face.
I have seen them! I'm waiting for one to show up in the thrift shop. It will. I'm patient. It will. They use their claws for picking up their remotes.
Well, I scored an additional beanie baby koala at the thrift shop today that is--do you collect those little ones? There's a felt grey one that's not that great that is the most common to find, but this one is a greyish-teal velveteen and is a much nicer variety--I already have two--one sits on my dashboard and the other on my desk at work.

I don't suppose you know where I could find a koala who might be looking for a home...
