Special Limited Editions
Bears for Collectors
Every year since 1995 I have been making bears for serious collectors, including my Special Limited Editions. Released in April each year they are invariably sold out within eight weeks. Some of the earlier editions are eagerly sought after by collectors wishing to obtain the complete set.
Some of the recent subjects include Special Agent 0002, based on the James Bond character; Sir Henry, to commemorate the Centenary of Federation; Mary of the Outback, in honour of Australia’s pioneer women; Peter Lalor of Eureka; and Hans Christian Andersen for the 200th Anniversary of his birth; Tom Roberts, the father of Australian landscape paintings, to commemorate his Sesquicentenary 1856-2006. Brochure available on request.
The Stanley Bear Club
Since I began making Special Edition Bears, many of my collectors have added their names to the Special Edition Register. This ensures that they are given preference when a new bear is about to be released. On placing their order they nominate when they would like to take delivery. This can be any time between the release date and the end of the year. I also have lay-by facilities.
