US Released Bears 1 through 6

 
Green Apron Bear #1. He is the original Starbucks Bear. He comes in 2 sizes: approximately 9" and 15". He has jointed arms and legs. His paws are felt padded. He is also referred to as the "Original Bearista Bear".

Bearona Bear, also known as "Maroon Apron Bear" and "Bearista #2". He is one of only 2 dark bears issued. He has padded feet. He is sometimes shown with a ribbon and hang tag that was once tied to the candy originally sold with him. A similar bear was released in the US as Bear #5. If your bear still has a paper tag and the date on his tag reads 1997 - it
is a #2. If the tush tag reads "Made in China" you have a #2.

"Starbucks Bunny" or "Bunny #3" comes with a cute pink apron. Originally he came with a tag, ribbon and bag of candy.

The exquisite "Polar Bear Bearista" also known as the "BRRRista". He is quite tiny and thin. His polar bear hood lifts up and down to reveal the bear inside. He has a scarf and a white hang tag.

Bear #5 was also a brown bear with a maroon apron. Supposedly the faces are different if you compare them side by side. If your bear has a paper tag, check it for a date. If its 1999, then you have a #5. In Europe and Asia the numbering is different (see Non-US Bear page for info) and bear # 5 is the Ducky. If your bear's tush tag reads "Made in Sri Lanka" you have a US#5. Bear #5 is also skinnier than bear #2.

"Bearista Bear #6" also known as "Ducky #6" and "Chick Bear". This bear is almost as wide as it is tall. It has beautiful top feathers. This bear can be found in the approximately 9" or 16" variety.
