The bears were a popular collector's item in the 1990s, and remain so now that they are no longer being produced.

Why did they stop making Boyd's Bears?

Enesco has blamed the "rising cost of manufacturing and materials, as well as the intensive labor required" as the reasons to eliminate this brand. 

In looking at Corporate America, this might be true but the bottom line is most probably the steady decline in sales since 2008. 

Boyd's was founded by the flamboyant G.M.
