Searching – DAKIN 1975 Tan Bear Rock a Bye Bear Has Removable Sound Box
I have been looking for a Dakin, 1975 tan Rock a Bye Bear with a removable sound box. He is seated and approximately 12 inches high.
My mom gave him to me when I was first born, and he was “my bear”. I named him Ted Bear. Now I am 24 years old, having a baby and getting married. Ted Bear still has a place on my bed with me. I would like to give the same bear to my baby when he or she is born. If you have any info on where I can buy this bear please let me know!
The sound box broke when I was very young, so that is not a big concern. I have been looking for him FOR SO LONG!
Thanks,
Whitney

Searching – 80′s DAKIN Large LIGHT BROWN RABBIT with WHITE EARS & HEART
Megan is still looking for this rabbit.
I lost Stuie, my 1982 Dakin bunny rabbit, on November 5, on the way from Sao Paulo to Recife, Brazil. The last time I saw him was on the security belt at the Sao Paulo GRU airport.Stuie is a pale brown 17 inch rabbit, with white ears and heart, and an orange bow around his neck. He is well-worn from years and years of love.
He has been my friend and traveling companion for 27 years. He has been all over the world with me and is very, very loved and missed. He has comforted friends and nieces and nephews and is quite famous in our family. His loss is devastating!
If anyone has found him or has ideas on how to search for him, it would be greatly appreciated. The lost and found offices at either airport do not have him. The language barrier (Portugese!) has made it difficult to search.
THANK YOU!!
Megan

Searching – 80′s Dakin CREAM TATTERED TEDDY BEAR with PATCHES
Anna is looking for this same Tattered Teddy.
I’m looking for a DAKIN 1985 large tan bear with orange and brown calico print ears and paws. He had a heart patched on his tummy with TATTERED TEDDY written on the patch and a plaid ribbon around its neck in green, orange, and white that coordinated with the other patches.
The teddy used to be my Mom’s, until I was about 3, and I took it over. I’m 21 now, and still continue to sleep with the bear!! I just had surgery, and it’s been a life saver for me. Recently my mom told me how dirty he is, and how she’d like a ‘new’ [clean] one. My Tattered Teddy is fairly dirty, and parts of his stitches are coming out. I would LOVE to have a new one to share with my mom. That way she could have ‘her’ teddy bear back, but I could also keep mine.
I love this teddy bear, and I know my mom would love to have a nice one, too. Thank you all so much for trying to help me locate this beloved Tattered Teddy [:
Thanks,
Jessica

Searching – 90′s Small DAKIN / APPLAUSE? Yellowy Orange HIPPO
Catherine is still looking for this peachy colored hippo. This is an edited photo to give you an idea of what she wants.
I’m so glad someone has a service like this! I am desperately searching for a plush hippo I had when I was a kid. I’m pretty sure she was either a Dakin, Applause, or a Gund brand. I saw some photos online of the Dakin Lou Rankin animals, and the sad little eyes look so familiar I’m betting that the brand was Dakin.
She was sort of small, no longer than 8 or so inches and no taller than 4 or 5. She was kind of a creamish-yellowy-orange color with brown set-back eyes just like the Lou Rankin elephant. Her little legs were much shorter and fatter than the Lou Rankin grey hippo, though. She was purchased at a Noah’s Ark store probably around 1992 or 1993.
Most unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of her. I did write a children’s book for a project several years ago, and used her as the model for my illustrations, though. I’ll see if I can find the book so I can scan and send you my illustration… it was pretty realistic.
Can you help me? Thank you so so much!!!

Searching – 80′s Dakin CREAM TATTERED TEDDY BEAR with PATCHES
Jessica is also looking for this Tattered Teddy.
I’m looking for a DAKIN 1985 large tan bear with orange and brown calico print ears and paws. He had a heart patched on his tummy with TATTERED TEDDY written on the patch and a plaid ribbon around its neck in green, orange, and white that coordinated with the other patches.
I received a Tattered Teddy bear from my grandpa for my 5th birthday… 1985. I slept with this bear every night into my 20′s. I still have him, and he has held together amazing. He is a little more tattered than day one but has been through a lot. He’s gone through the washer, been thrown, dragged, hugged, chewed on by puppy, and a number of other things.
I wish I had another!
Thanks,
Anna

FOUND – 1985 DAKIN TATTERED TEDDY Large TAN BEAR with PATCHES
I’m looking for a DAKIN 1985 large tan bear with orange and brown calico print ears and paws. He had a heart patched on his tummy with TATTERED TEDDY written on the patch and a plaid ribbon around its neck in green, orange, and white that coordinated with the other patches.
Back in 1986, my high school sweetheart (who is now an exec at NASA but, unfortunately, is married to someone else) gave me this adorable Dakin beige Tattered Teddy. It was so cute. I brought it to college with me and out into the ’real world’ when I finished grad school. In 1997, my apartment was burglarized and vandalized by my then ex-boyfriend (the courts said the evidence was ’circumstantial’, however, and he got away with the crime). My Tattered Teddy was knifed in the back and rear end.
When I came home and found all of the damage, I noticed that my teddy bear had a strange lean to it, and when I turned it over and saw the filling coming out of the back and rear, I was aghast. Who would knife a teddy bear? Only a complete sicko. It’s a good thing I hadn’t been home.
The Nashua, New Hampshire police department confiscated it as evidence. I have been trying to replace that bear for years, but all I remembered about it was its color, length, and that it had patches that said Tattered Teddy sewn onto its belly. I really, really would like to replace this bear, and I have been having a heck of a time trying to find it.
Please contact me if you find one.
Thanks,
Sabra

Searching – 1978 DAKIN TAN & WHITE? BEAR – Not Cuddles
I’m looking for my childhood bear. Some tips on him~his tag is located on HIS left leg. His tag is the old green writing with orange trim around the tag. It says R. Dakin & Co. 1978. I got him in 1980; so he was available then. He measures approximately 18 inches tall. From the old picture I have from when I was 2 years old, his ears, snout, and paws on hands and feet are a lighter color (maybe even white), and the rest of his fur is or at least now is a beige color. He is NOT cuddles the bear. I have done some searching myself and come across a lot of those and it just isn’t the right one.
I have been looking on and off over the past 15+ years for a newer condition one. NO bear will replace my teddy; however I know my teddy has been through soooooooooo much! I remember as a child around the age of 4 or so that we had a kiddy pool, and I decided teddy wanted to go for a swim. He has also gotten into the bathtub with me as a child and has lost a lot of his hair and has had many surgeries! My grandmother stitched him up several times, and I vividly remember her running out of “fluff”, so she used her old knee highs in teddy’s surgery! Teddy is SUPER special. My grandmother passed away when I was 15.
I have had this teddy since I was born. My dad purchased this teddy in the hospital gift shop. From what I have been told, my parents were very strapped for cash, and he used his last bit of money to have this bear for me in my hospital crib. Teddy came home with me from the hospital and has been with me for the past 31yrs!
Now that I have children, they are aware of teddy and my oldest begs to sleep with him, because she knows how special he is. He has so many holes in him that teddy now stays at the top of my closet to keep him from getting any more damage than he already has. I will never replace this teddy; however I have a picture of him when I was 2~holding him and he was so floppy and soft looking.
I would love to find one that has not been through what all I put this one through, so I could give him to my daughters and to see what he actually should look like! Please let me know if you can help!
Thanks,
Rebecca

FOUND – 1985 Small DAKIN GIRL MONKEY with PINK DIAPER SHIRT, Polka Dot DIAPER & PACIFIER
I’m looking for a 9 inch DAKIN 1985 brown baby girl monkey with tan accents. She has a pacifier and is wearing a pink diaper shirt and a removable pink polka dot diaper with Velcro closures.
When I was about 3 years old, my mom bought me a baby monkey with a blue diaper and a blue shirt with a pacifier. I have always wished I could have gotten his sister as well. I would absolutely love to get this little girl, so I can have the set.
I have found her on eBay, but she either doesn’t have a diaper or is missing the pacifier, and I would like her with everything. If you can help me find her that would be so great!
Thank You!

I am looking for a 6 -8 inch brown monkey with a tan face and hands and feet with the red DAKIN logo on the right foot.
I believe it is a line made exclusively for the store “Big Lots”. That is where I first got him (in central Jersey), along with an identical monkey that is gigantic(like 30 inches) – also Dakin. Its tag reads: Dakin Made exclusively for Big Lots Stores,Inc. Manufactures by: Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co. 28010 Industry Drive Valencia Ca. 91355 Reg.# PA-12739.
This is my daughter’s favorite toy, and I’m looking for a backup.

FOUND – 80′s DAKIN FROU FROU WHITE DOLL HOLDING Felt FLOWER with MAGENTA PINK "AFRO" HAIR
Kay is looking for a white Frou Frou doll with Magenta Hair.
I’ve been searching for a doll that I had as a child. It was about 14″ tall and about 8″ wide, a light purpleish-gray white colored velour with a bright pink (almost magenta) colored hair that was frizzy and stood straight out. It had a little felt flower stitched between its arm/hands and the feet were directly under the arms. The doll was pretty firmly stuffed. The arms were stitched to the little felt flower (tulip-like). The eyes were small strips of felt, the nose was hard and had a velvet feel to it, but wasn’t covered in fabric. I think it had a velvet feel glued onto it (flocked).
I only saw one other one when I was very little and haven’t seen another one ever since. I had it for as long as I could remember, and I was born in 1983. All my stuffed dolls and toys were thrown out by someone when I was 17, and I’ve been trying to reclaim a lot of them. This one was one of my absolute favorites, and also the one I have yet to find.
If you know anything about it, please let me know! I really appreciate it
Even after all these years, I still get heart-broken thinking about all my favorite dolls, and I wonder if that feeling will ever go away LOL.
Thank you so much!

Searching – 90′s DAKIN CREAM LLAMA with BROWN
My daughter lost her BELOVED llama at Penn Station just over one year ago. It’s like she’s been grieving a death in the family. I suppose such hardship is good for her in terms of her overall development, but now I’d like to renew my search for a replacement.
The llama had been purchased in Rochester, NY, around 1999 or 2000.
He was about 5 inches tall and 5 inches long. The tag says “Dakin” in blue. It has short cream colored fur, except for brown feet, and brown on his neck, back and tail.

FOUND – 80′s Hallmark DAKIN BROWN REINDEER that PLAYS CHRISTMAS CAROLS Top Priority
I’m looking for a Dakin reindeer from 1988. This was sold at the local Hallmark Store. It played Christmas carols by pushing buttons inside of its feet. It also had a red light in its nose that flashed with the music. The reindeer was about 10-12 inches tall, stuffed/plush with a brown body and darker brown hooves/feet. The music box with two AA batteries was in a Velcro sealed enclosure in its butt. It had lighter brown antlers.
I have a disabled son, who is now 24. He was born with Cornelia deLange Syndrome. He has no speech and is very small for his age. He likes musical toys.
We had one of these Reindeer, and it was his favorite thing at Christmas time. He went to bed every night with it playing and walked around our home with it up to his ear. Unfortunately, he tends to break things, and it got to the point that it no longer worked after several years and several repairs.
We were just hoping that someone out there my have one.
Thanks,
Bob
