If you want a lovely bear that will last for years and can be repaired if need be, I'd recommend making one yourself. These bears were based on the book, "The Complete Book of Teddy-Bear Making Techniques" by Alicia Merrett and Ann Stephens (ISBN-13: 978-0762403493).
I always try and make an accessory for each bear which is usually based on a fond traint of the parents.
