Part of the My First Plush collection from Gund, the My First Teddy is a super-soft plush classic bear that has wide-set ears, a rounded belly and a sweet, smiling expression. It comes in blue and pink, as well as in small, medium, large and super-large sizes. It also comes with a plush rattle.
— “We sell Baby Gund, which is good for infants,” said Paula Hall, manager of Rabbit in the Moon in Louisville, Ky.
— Of the four retailers who told TDmonthly they sell Baby Gund, two said they sold at least 30 units a month, while the other two reported they sold about six per month.
— “My First Teddy is a wonderful item because it is both a toy and a keepsake. Little ones love the soft, huggable plush and, as they get older, the bear holds many warm and happy memories,” said Shallu Chhabra, marketing and licensing manager for Gund.
