i bought this vintage bear from a thrift store back when i was expecting my son, daniel.. he was sitting there looking lonely amongst mostly furniture & i had to take him home. he became my son's most beloved toy through all of his childhood. named beanish bear due to his rather bean-shaped body & limbs, we've always affectionately referred to him as bean, or old bean.
as you can see, his plastic eyes have borne the brunt of many a trip through the washer & dryer, & i had to restitch his mouth one time, but once upon a time he was bright-eyed, soft & fluffy..
where's dan?
naptime
old summer days
dan's best pal
trike ride
dan's room
he remained dan's best pal through barney, power rangers & every other phase & now has retired to a place of honor in the toy room, surrounded by old friends.
made by the knickerbocker toy co. for applause in probably the 80's ~
strangely the tag on his bum has his name originally as 'reagan' lol..
bean was one of my models ~
he is a most loved toy..
ghost & toxic

4th camp's a charm? well, adequate anyway ~
but what's hidden underground is my secret bomb shelter, i named it vault 11 :) ~
