Pre-loved and vintage GRATEFUL DEAD BEAR PLUSH! This bear is the first generation -- when Liquid Blue and (Grateful Dead Merchandising) initially teamed up and tested the market for 12" jointed bears in 1990 -- that is why it looks a bit different (less symmetrical, handmade, with some exposed stitching)! There were only a few colors in very small batches made. The bear's success led to some revisions and the 12" jointed bears which we've all seen and were then born and sold on tours! This awesome piece of music and Dead Bear history is in good condition and still has its Liquid Blue / GDM tush tag, albeit faded!  Please buy gently pre-loved -- your wallet, the planet, and I will thank you!  I ship the next business day to the contiguous U.S.  Thanks for checking out my listing!
