Willy Wonka: A Brief Description

The Steiff Willy Wonka Limited Edition (EAN 662768) is a highly collectible and exquisitely crafted teddy bear inspired by the iconic character from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This bear is a celebration of the whimsical and fantastical world created by Roald Dahl and brought to life in the beloved film adaptations.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Measuring approximately 25 cm in height, this charming bear is made from the finest blond mohair, ensuring a luxurious and soft texture. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from its expressive, hand-embroidered features to its carefully jointed arms and head, allowing for playful posing.  Designed with flat soles, this bear can be posed to stand as you wish.  His right foot pad has been embroidered with the author’s name – a sign that this special anniversary edition has been officially authorised by the Roald Dahl literary estate.

Detailing

The bear’s expressive face is hand-embroidered with precision, featuring a charmingly mischievous smile and soulful black eyes that capture the essence of Willy Wonka’s enigmatic character. A carefully stitched nose adds to the lifelike appeal, ensuring this bear is as captivating as the character it represents. Willy Wonka’s signature style is brought to life with an intricate costume. The bear is dressed in a richly detailed velvet frock coat in a deep plum hue, paired with a waistcoat adorned with a vibrant pattern. Completing the ensemble are elegant trousers and a brightly coloured bow tie, capturing the eccentric and charismatic essence of the character. The iconic top hat rests proudly atop the bear’s head, adding a touch of theatrical flair.  He also has his cane which loops over his paw and a golden ticket which sits nicely in his jacket pocket

Limited Edition Features

This Willy Wonka bear is part of a strictly limited edition of 5000, making it an exceptional collector’s item. The bear is adorned with Steiff’s signature gold-plated button in the ear, a mark of authenticity and quality, as well as a white-and-red label bearing its unique edition number. The exclusivity of this piece adds significant value and allure for both Steiff enthusiasts and fans of Roald Dahl’s timeless tale.
