At JustTeddies we pride ourselves on our limited edition teddy bear collection. whether they are classic teddy bears, replica teddy bears or masterpiece animals as long as they are limited JustTeddies will endeavour to stock them.
Limited edition teddy bears have either a white and black or a white and red tag in the ear. On the back of their tag you can see their EAN (European article number) and their limited edition number e.g. 0001 of 1500.
Limited edition Steiff teddy bears are by their very nature a rare product. Several are as low as 1500 pieces for the entire world, in this case there maybe only 200 in the UK. Owning one of these Steiff limited editions is therefore very impressive.
As well as having limited edition bears and animals Steiff also produces "Replica" bears which are limited in the same way that other limited editions are but are made to the exact specifications as a previous model. For example the black Steiff bear at the top of this post is a replica teddy bear of 1961. Therefore it is identical down the tools used in its manufacture as the bear was in 1961. There are also 1961 models available worldwide making replicas some of the rarest bears.
