If you're into teddies (of the bear type) and collecting them, this UK site might inspire some hugging and admiration.

This site is more diverse in the range of bears and dolls it lists. If you're searching for a particular doll or bear, chances are it's in here. An original 11-inch Steiff Eeyore from the Winnie the Pooh series is a bargain at only US$250.71.
