Peter Rabbit: A Brief Description

This charming Steiff collector’s piece is a beautifully crafted interpretation of Peter Rabbit as he appears in the 2018 Peter Rabbit film. Part of a limited edition release, this delightful character is made by the esteemed German toymaker Steiff and exemplifies the brand’s renowned quality, tradition, and attention to detail.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Standing at a perfectly proportioned 24cm tall, this Peter Rabbit is made from the finest mohair. His fur is rendered in a nuanced grey-brown shade, capturing the natural tones of a real rabbit while remaining true to the gentle aesthetic familiar from Beatrix Potter’s beloved illustrations and the modern cinematic adaptation.

Detailing

Peter’s expressive face features delicate airbrushed detailing, a hand-stitched nose and mouth, and shiny black safety eyes that convey both intelligence and mischief. His long ears are lined with pale fabric, giving a realistic touch that complements the fine quality of his coat. He wears his signature blue jacket, tailored with precision from soft fabric. The jacket is finished with smart little pockets and is stitched to ensure a perfect fit. This addition brings an instantly recognisable element of Peter’s character, linking this edition closely to his on-screen persona. The bear is five-way jointed, offering posability at the neck, arms, and legs. This traditional jointing allows for subtle changes in stance, which enhances display potential.

Limited Edition Features

As with all genuine Steiff creations, Peter proudly bears the famous ‘Button in Ear’ – in this edition, a gold-plated button and white label signifying his limited edition status. Released in 2018 to coincide with the cinematic debut of Peter Rabbit, this edition was strictly limited, making it highly desirable among collectors. The piece is individually numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity confirming his place in the edition of 2000 pieces, adding further to its appeal as a keepsake or investment.

Presentation and Significance

Peter Rabbit is presented in a Steiff gift box. As a collector’s item, he is not intended as a toy, but rather as a cherished keepsake to be displayed and admired. This edition of Peter Rabbit combines classic craftsmanship with modern character appeal. It bridges Steiff’s rich heritage in toymaking with the contemporary charm of the big-screen Peter, making it a cherished item for collectors of Steiff animals, fans of Beatrix Potter, or those drawn to exceptional artisan soft toys. The blend of superior materials, meticulous detailing, and limited production ensures this Peter Rabbit is both a beautiful display piece and a treasured heirloom.
