GUND’s first-ever animated plush toy moves his mouth and head as he reads the classic Christmas poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” in its entirety. The bear is dressed for the season and holds a plush-covered green book bearing the poem’s title. He is easily activated with the touch of the “on-off” switch on his paw, measures 16.5” tall, and comes with three replaceable AA batteries. When switched “off,” he returns to the sitting position. Launch date: June 2006.
