Charlie Bears

Did the Q scrap Charlie Bears? I haven't seen them in eons. I remember when QVC had regular doll and teddy bear shows, many years ago. Now we collectors still love our collections, but miss the shows.

@Effie54 Never heard of them. I remember those Osmond dolls which I never watched (don't collect dolls and can't stand her).

The Boyds Bears shows were fun with Mary Beth Roe but I never bought anything as I don't collect that kind of stuff.

@Effie54 I had forgotten all about the Charlie bears. I do have a few Boyd's in my collection, but my collection has gone through downsizing as I have. Some I managed to donate, some I just tossed; none I wanted to discard were worth enough to try to sell.

I might look if there were a bear show, but just as I do other things I once bought and now need to just "visit." Wherever my bears sit, they have companions already. Obviously, I need to downsize more!

I bought my grand daughter a Charlie Bear when she was younger and she still loves it as a teen @Effie54 He has the sweetest face and so well made. I don't collect bears but looking at their faces it was hard to resist but I did.

I went through a phase of collecting Boyd's Bears. I like them, but I look at them and wonder what I was thinking to buy so many. Thankfully I wised up when I did. I have them displayed where really only I will see them. Don't know what I am going to do with them when the time comes to get rid of stuff like that.

@Effie54 I bought a Charlie bear with a very sad face before the pandemic. I sit him on my bed every morning.
He has made me smile daily as I put him in the chair with Dennis Basso bears.
I think he sold out. Adorable!
I would have given these bears as gifts if the packaging was better. One arrived with a badly crushed bow that I had to remove and iron.

I just searched the Charlie's Bears site on the Q yesterday and ordered a cute Koala bear! The quality of these bears is excellent though the prices high.

@spiderw I looked at that koala today after reading your post. It is so cute. I'm very tempted!

pandalady!

I am assuming by your forum name, you are a bear lover. Panda bears are absolutely adorable. I have to be selective on the Charlie's Bears site, too many temptations!

I remember the doll shows back in the 90s and bought a quite a few of them for some reason, but I've since either sold them at garage sales or donated them. I imagine the market has probably diminished or dried up, except for collectors who still are in the buy/sell market and can find them online at other venues.
