Updates and news on delivery of anniversary snuffles

Due to some manufacturing issues, it appears that the new anniversary snuffles will not be delivered until later in August 2010.

The 15' snuffles is really big according to a Gund Rep.

The limited edition "white" snuffles is not as pronounced as in the picture and is silver tipped.

The upcoming Christmas snuffles is not 16', but 8' which explains the rather low price compared to the large snuffles.

I am excited and eagerly waiting to receive the new snuffles.

Two different kinds of Millenium snuffles?

I noticed that the two 30 inch millenium snuffles I have appear to have very different kinds of fur. One has shorter fur than the other. The other has fur that looks kind of like it was never combed.

The snuffles on the left came from FAO Schwartz, I still have his tags. The other one came without tags.

I wonder if this has anything to do with where they were sold, or if one is a mistake during the production process? Well, take a look at the photo and see for yourself. Any comments?
