Kassie J. Sparklefrost w/Trunk

Tired of travelin' after the holidays? Kassie J. Sparklefrost isn't, and she just can't wait to travel to your house. Kassie, our 8-inch, white snow-lovin' gal, comes with her very own faux leather trunk for carrying all the bear necessities on a long winter's vacation. She's dressed for the winter weather in a velvet hooded turquoise coat and skirt with white fur trim, and has brown eyes, black hand-stitched nose and mouth, and is fully-jointed for extra poseability! Take her home today…as she is only available

on HSN!

Sammy Sneakers

A day of playin' hard and havin' fun is what Sammy Sneakers has on his to-do-list today. This golden-colored bear can comfortably sprawl out with his colorin' books and crayons, or tackle the toughest of jungle gyms in his red and white striped shirt, denim overalls, and blue and white faux (that's a fancy name for FAKE!) leather sneakers. He measures 16-inches and is fully jointed with hand stitched nose and mouth. Sammy is available only on HSN!

Big Elmer
Big things are the best…especially when it's Elmer! Measuring a whoppin' 30-inches, this scruffy gent has a rust-colored plush coat and is stuffed with just the right amount of poly and beans for extra huggability. Big Elmer has a hand-stiched nose and mouth, a brown velvet button nose (oh so cute if we do say so ourselves!), and comes with his own hand-numbered leather patch signed by Boyds Beary Godmother, Liz Smith, herself!

Silvia B. Snazzle
Give the New Year a little bling with Silvia B. Snazzle, who is the second bear in our Bling Bling Series! Her sable-colored mink coat shows off the bling bling itself, a brown suede collar with silver beading. Silvia is 10-inches tall, and comes fully jointed with a hand-sewn nose and mouth. She is available only on HSN!

Queen Quitealot & Lil' Huffensnort
Topping off a show fit for a queen is our own royal lady, Queen Quitealot and Lil' Huffensnort, her fire-breathing sidekick. This golden gal measures 16-inches and she's dressed in a long gold and crème brocade dress with golden trim, and a matching golden crown. She features a hand-sewn nose and mouth and is fully jointed. Lil' Huffensnort has a green, suede-like body with tan belly and embroidered eyes. This duo is very limited in quantities and available only on HSN. Make sure ya tune in!
