The Holy Grail for Collectors of Paddington and Disneyana.
As a certified appraiser of vintage toys and pop culture memorabilia, I can state with certainty that this is one of the rarest Paddington Bears ever produced. It represents a unique moment in time: a collaboration between two of the most beloved brands in the world, Disney and Paddington, for a single event over 30 years ago. An opportunity to acquire this bear in this condition is exceedingly rare.
Why is this an Investment-Grade Collectible?
Its value lies in three key areas: provenance, rarity, and condition. The provenance is established by the original, mint-condition tags and, most importantly, the authentic 1990 Walt Disney World Teddy Bear Convention pin, still affixed to Paddington's hat. The rarity is undeniable: it is number 50 of only 300 pieces ever made, as confirmed on his coat tag. A low number like this is highly desirable. Finally, the condition is impeccable. This bear has been preserved as a true collectible, not as a toy. The fur is perfect, the clothes are crisp, and all tags are clean and unbent. The handwriting on the iconic "Please look after this BEAR" tag is a charming piece of its history from the original owner at the convention.

- For display, keep out of direct sunlight in a temperature-controlled environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this Paddington Bear so rare and valuable?
Its rarity comes from being a 'triple-collectible': 1) It's an official Eden Toys Paddington Bear. 2) It was exclusively for the 1990 Walt Disney World Teddy Bear Convention. 3) It's a low-numbered Limited Edition of only 300 total pieces worldwide.
What about the writing on the 'Please look after this BEAR' tag?
The tag is hand-signed with a name and the date 11/30/90, which perfectly aligns with the convention period. This is part of the bear's unique history from its original owner. While it may be erasable, we have left it intact to preserve its provenance.
