Unique Plush Toys – Evolution of the Stuffed Animal
Posted: Jul 25, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>
Most of us remember our very first stuffed animal; a teddy bear, a puppy, maybe a cuddly white bunny rabbit. Whatever it was, we remember what it felt like, what it smelled like, and most importantly, the feelings and emotional bond associated with it. For many middle-age adults, that first plush toy was a simple version of a basic stuffed animal. Flash forward to 2009 and see how times have changed. Margerete Steiff was a seamstress who started making toy stuffed animals back in 1880. She was confined to a wheelchair, but started making these plush toys as a hobby. The first plush toy she made was an elephant, as was designed to be a pin cushion. However, children began playing with them and in the years following, Steiff designed and made many other “stuffed animal toys” for children.
The origin of the teddy bear dates back to the early 1900’s and was a result of an infamous hunting trip taken by then U.S. President, Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt. From its inception, the “Teddy Bear” was an instant success in the US. So much so, that by 1906, there were numerous manufacturers making Teddy Bears, and the craze for theses adorable stuffed animals was such that ladies were carrying them, children were being photographed with them and even Teddy Roosevelt used one as a mascot in his bid for re-election.
As the years progressed, so did the Teddy Bear and other stuffed animals. They became more detailed in appearance, and manufacturers had trouble keeping up with demand. So much so, that other less common animals began emerging on the scene. The stuffed animal market was no longer limited to teddy bears, cats, and dogs as other, more unusual animals began to take their place in the plush marketplace.
In recent years, we have seen an explosion of “designer plush toys.” These are stuffed animals and unique plush toys that are typically created in limited quantities by the artist or designer. Designer plush toys can be extremely unique and distinct in nature, with each plush doll having its own specific look, feel and personality.
So what are some of these unique plush toys? Well, lets start with one that looks like a tiny microbe, only a million times its actual size. GIANTmicrobes are plush toys that are humorous, educational and fun. The GIANTmicrobes line includes The Common Cold, the Flu, Sore Throat, Stomach Ache and Kissing Disease just to name a few.
If you are looking for plush toys a little less “germy”, then consider the WorryWoos. The WooryWoo monsters, created by AndI Green, are plush dolls that help children tackle complicating feelings, from loneliness and confusion to insecurity and innocence.
If it is an unusual take on a traditional stuffed animal you seek, then look no further than Gus Fink’s Puff Dog and Stitch Kitten lines of designer plush. These creatures are extremely unique and scarily cute.
Needless to say, the evolution of the stuffed animal has provided us with a wonderful selection of unique plush toys. Whether you prefer a traditional teddy bear, a jungle cat or a plush version of the ebola virus, you will be able to find it somewhere!

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Cute And Funny Boba Fett Toys And Figures
Without any doubt, Boba Fett is one of the coolest Star Wars characters and therefore all kinds of Boba Fett helmets, figurines, statues and other collectibles are a hot commodity among collectors. This time, let’s forget about all the exclusive, ultra expensive limited edition items and concentrate on the funny side of the famous bounty hunter. Let me introduce you to various kinds Boba Fett bobble heads, plush toys and other similar items which are fun to collect, won’t ruin your family budget and are very likely to make you smile and enjoy building your collection. It can also be a great way for your children to start collecting Star Wars toys and figures themselves.
Boba Fett Bobble Heads
These cute collectible dolls are also known as wobblers or nodders. Their typically over sized heads are attached to their bodies with a spring which causes the head to bobble every time you lightly tap it. The company which produces most of the Star Wars bobble heads including several Boba Fett dolls is called Funko. Apart from the standard Boba Fett Bobble head, their product line also contains Boba Fett Funko Force Bobble Head with articulated arms, Boba Fett Computer Sitter Bobble Head which can be seated on top of your computer screen, or a 12-inches tall Boba Fett Bobble Bank which not only guards your money, but also works as a fully functional bobble head at the same time.
Boba Fett Plush Toys
These cute, squeezable and collectible toys are usually approximately 7 – 8 inches tall and made of soft, hand washable polyester fiber material. The most common ones are the Boba Fett Super Deformed Plush Toy by Comic Images and the Official M&M’s Star Wars M-Pire Plush by Hasbro.
Other Boba Fett Toys
Besides everyone’s favorite bobble heads and plush toys, there are also some other Boba Fett toy types to consider, like the set of 3 chubby Star Wars nesting dolls inspired by the traditional Russian nesting doll concept. The set includes 3 cute figures standing 1.5 to 3 inches tall: Jango Fett, Boba Fett, and Boba as a child. Another extremely cute toy inspired by Boba Fett is the Star Wars Mr. Potato Head Spuda Fett by Hasbro. It is greatly detailed and in addition to the great detailed armor he comes with his laser rifle and jet-pack.
I believe that if your kids love Boba Fett as character, they will definitely appreciate any of the above toys as a birthday or Christmas gift.

Christmas Plush Toys
Have you ever wondered what Christmas might be like without Christmas plush toys? No more teddy bears dressed up to look like Santa Clause? No more reindeer with red, ‘shiny’ noses? No more penguins with bright red hats and scarves? It very well might become a ‘dismal’ holiday, especially for those that particularly look forward to the vast array of Christmas stuffed animals that become available at this time of the year. The holiday would, of course, still go on, with or without the festive soft toys, but let’s hope it never gets to that.
Long before soft toys ever became an idea, let alone were dressed up to commemorate Christmas, dolls, as playthings, had already well established themselves in history as part of the core group of long-standing toys. There have been disagreements over the years as to the purpose of the earliest dolls; Max Von Boehn, the German cultural historian, wrote in 1929 that they were “originally made and used primarily as votive objects for worship;” Constance Eileen King, the chronicler of the history of dolls, maintains that “given children’s ability to mimic adult activities, they would have made dolls to play with, copying the idol figures.” King goes on to say that the dolls made in Egypt were nowhere near as complex looking as the ones made to look like human images used for religious offerings or decoration and because of this differentiation in both looks and the way in which they were made, they must be defined as things to play with. It is true, however, that dolls have in fact been made to represent religious icons – the Virgin Mary and other biblical figures, for example. When churches during the English Reformation were raided in the 16th century, small wax figures that were left behind were taken by children to play with.
In order to get an idea of what some ancient dolls might have looked like, we need only to look at some recent examples of some of them; in the 19th century, dolls that were made in the Sudan and Angola, looked very much like those that were made some 4,000 years earlier and still others that continue to be made. These dolls were fashioned out of sticks which had fabric wrapped around them like clothing and had heads made of wax or rags that had been wound, and string for hair. There were others that had bodies made from dried husks of maize. There has also been a long standing tradition throughout the world, in making dolls from plaited dried leaves. The ancient Egyptians had dolls which were made with limbs that moved and were placed with bodies in their graves so they would accompany them into the afterlife. There were also dolls during this same period that were made of linen or wood and were stuffed with papyrus leaves. They also had embroidered faces and wore clothes that could be changed.
Before dolls ever became mass produced, they were made from a variety of materials including bone, wooden spoons, loofah, cloth, pegs, and just about anything else that could be found in the environment. Both the painting and weaving of dried leaves and grasses continues to be a worldwide craft in which dolls are still made. Pam leaves are dried in Indonesia and made into cream-colored dolls and then they are painted in bright colors. In England, in 1901, a child living in East End London made a doll from a shoe with the sole acting as the face. The body was made up from the rest of the shoe and was then wrapped in shabby cloth. For the eyes, nose, and mouth, nails were hammered into the heel. Tacks were attached to the sole to make a hairline and finally, long thin arms hung down at the dolls side.
It wasn’t until around 1900, when the idea for soft dolls was at its beginning stages. While Käthe Kruse, a trained actor in Berlin who married a sculptor, was changing the very look of dolls, in 1894, Margarete Steiff, the creator of the first teddy bear, was also making dolls made of felt in Giengen, Germany, from cut-off felt material from a factory. A range of dolls were produced including girls and soldiers and they had flat feet so they could stand up. Later on the Steiff company produced four different size hedgehogs which had human characteristics, called Micki and Mecki. They had rubber hedgehog-like heads, faces that smiled, and felt, human-like bodies.
It’s hard to say where Christmas plush toys would have been had Margarete Steiff not invented that first bear. Given the history of dolls, it’s quite likely someone would have come up with the idea for a soft toy at some point in history. And, since dolls are typically used for dress-up, with their clothes changing as often as their human owner can manage it, that very idea wouldn’t have been such a far-reaching one for plush toys. It would have only been a matter of time until Christmas plush toys began to resemble all things representing the holiday, especially Santa Clause. And, whether or not you have a particular interest in Christmas plush toys, they’re nothing if not something different to have around during the holidays.

Big Plush Toy
The big plush toy has long been part of children’s lives ever since the creation of the original teddy bear in 1902. What began as a string-jointed movable animal, turned into the world’s most popular toy. It was only a matter of time before teddy bears and every other animal designed to look like the real thing, joined the ever-growing demand for soft toys to get bigger and better.
The ‘final’ design of the iconic teddy bears didn’t take place until 1905, at which time, Richard Steiff (nephew of Margarete Steiff – creator of the teddy bear) presented Margarete with his improved creation. She was instantly in love and called the new model Bärle (a German term of affection used to decribe something or someone dear).
Bärle was everything Richard had dreamed of and Margarete desired. He was made in white, light brown, and dark brown plush and was soft-filled with excelsior which is a Unites States tradename for wood-wool. It also had kapok in it which is type of insulation used for padding, along with card discs – a method of jointing whereby the slippery surfaces of two circles of card held by a cotter pin allow for smooth rotation in one plane. This method is still used today.
In 1905, customers were able to purchase Bärle in seven sizes and in 1910 it was increased to 14. With his small round ears, black boot-button eyes (in 1908, glass button eyes were introduced and could be special ordered), stitched nose, shaved muzzle, large feet, and plump body, he had the kind of appeal few children – or adults – could resist. As the years past, it was only a matter of time before the big plush toy also became known to the world.
Some of the first Bärle teddy bears also came with squeakers which were inserted inside the bear; they were made from coiled spring placed between two round pieces of card or wood. When the bear was squeezed in just the right place, the spring would become compressed thereby forcing air through a reed to produce a grunt. This perfected teddy bear was an instant success. In the following year after its release, some 400,000 of them were sold. The demand for the bear was so great that Steiff was forced to take extra measures to avoid wasting any mohair plush. To do so, six entire heads of the bear were cut from each length of material, with a seventh head cut in two halves. As a result, every seventh bear produced, had a seam that ran down the center of its face. The center-seamed teddy bear today, is highly valued by collectors because it’s so rare.
Who knows where the big plush toy would be today had it not been for a simple felt pincushion Margarete Steiff, designed, made, and gave away as gifts; from the teddy bear’s humble beginnings came what we know now as the big plush toy.
