Boyds Bears Fluffwees Have Arrived

Beacon's Glow Collectibles is pleased to announce that the long-awaited Fluffwees have arrived from Boyds Bears. These adorable 4-inch creatures feature a glitter covered nose; antique sparse style fur; floppy style jointing; bean filled body; and a hang tag with personality traits.

Designed and created by award winning teddy bear artist, Janet Wilson, she has created these adorable teddies just for Boyds Bears. As quoted by their creator, "each Fluffwee is a magical little creature sent to earth on a falling star with noses made of magical stardust. The Fluffwees are very unique in every way from having their own personality traits highlighted on the hangtag to their very own poem."

Three Fluffwees were introduced this year by Boyds Bears: Raindrop, Rose Petal, and Twig, and have been featured both on the cover and in an article in the popular magazine 'Teddy Bear and Friends'.

We anticipate Boyds expanding their line of Fluffwees in the coming year.

Steiff Bears Joseph Has Arrived



Steiff Bears Joseph (EAN 037238) has arrived at Beacons Glow Collectibles and he was well worth the wait.

Joseph is very similar to his Steiff predecessor, 'Phantom of the Opera', as he has a detailed music box contained within that has various options to play songs from the popular musical 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat'. Joseph's integrated music box is voice-activated and plays well-known compositions from this wonderful musical.

For those of you who have not seen 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat', Joseph has charmed audiences all over the world for more than 40 years because of his determination to never give up.

Steiff Bear's rendition of Joseph is magnificent - he wears a colorful cotton coat that is sewn on to his chest and lined on the inside with the same colors. This incredible teddybear is hand-made from the finest ecru-colored mohair , is five-ways jointed, and has flat soles so that he stands well. His blue eyes give him a very friendly, open character.

Steiff Bears Joseph (EAN 037238) is limited to 2008 pieces worldwide and features a gold-plated 'Button in Ear' trademark. He stands 12 inches tall.
