Yes, he’s 31 inches tall. Yes, he’s made by Steiff, the gold standard in plush toys. Yes, there’s only 500 of him.

But good grief, Charlie Brown! $889.99!

I used to work for a guy and his late partner collected Steiff plush toys. They were really beautifully tailored and constructed. Whenever I see anything by Steiff, I think of him. Strange, I never met him, but I saw his collection of toys every week, so I always felt like I knew him. I appreciated the fact that his partner kept his collections on display years after he died, even though he didn’t collect any of the same things. Maybe that’s love. 

Still…$889.99! For Snoopy!

CHANCE

I loooove Snoopy.  But not that much.

I guess that’s what saving pics off the Internet is for.  To keep the things you can’t buy… like Colt Models and $900 Snoopy plush toys.

By the way, this is now on sale at Entertainment Earth for $739.94.

Just in case you were waiting for a sale.

CHANCE

For that amount of money, Snoopy should also come with a working Sopwith Camel.

I love Snoopy and collects Peanuts figurines. I always love the pseudo-psychology behind it all but until I find that Santa-sugardaddy who wants to get it for me this one will have to stay at the puppy farm.
