A collection of 14 dressed plush teddy bears by The Teddy Bear Collection, published by De Agostini/Eaglemoss, United Kingdom, dating from the late 1990s to early 2000s.

Several bears retain a rectangular yellow adhesive card swing tag featuring an image of four bears and the printed text 'THE TEDDY BEAR COLLECTION'.
The collection includes:
A bear known as Matt the Mechanic, wearing blue denim-style overalls over a grey t-shirt and a matching peaked cap.
A bear known as Henry the Hiker, wearing a burgundy Fair Isle style knitted sweater with a cream and brown pattern.
A bear known as Barney the Bellboy, dressed in a red military-style uniform with gold-tone braid trim and a matching pillbox hat.
A bear known as Alphonse the Artist, wearing a light blue and white striped smock with a red bow tie and a black felt-style beret.
A bear known as Gordon the Golfer, wearing a green sweater with a red collar, a tartan kilt, and a matching flat cap, accompanied by loose plastic golf clubs.
A bear dressed for wet weather in a bright yellow glossy raincoat with silver-tone popper fastenings and a matching sou'wester hat.
A bear dressed in a blue and orange quilted ski suit with a white faux-fur trim to the hood and a pair of dark brown plastic skis.
A bear in pirate attire featuring a black headband printed with a white skull and crossbones, a black belt with a silver-tone plastic cutlass, and tartan trousers.
A bear wearing a tan-coloured aviator cap with integrated yellow-lensed goggles and a brown flight jacket.
The lot also includes seven issues of The Teddy Bear Collection magazine, comprising issues 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 13. Each magazine features the series title printed in a stylised serif font and depicts the corresponding bear on the front cover.
More Information
The bears are in excellent, displayed condition with no visible signs of play wear to the plush or textiles (photo 1). Several bears retain their original card swing tags, which show only very light creasing at the edges (photo 2, photo 3). The yellow raincoat shows a bright, glossy finish with no cracking or peeling (photo 4). The magazines exhibit minor edge wear and light surface scuffing to the covers consistent with careful handling (photo 1). All visible plastic components, including the pilot's goggles and the skier's skis, appear intact (photo 6, photo 7).
