The
photos featured in this listing are Charlie Bears’ stock
photos. However, since the bears are hand-made, even two of the same
bear can be slightly different and we firmly believe that you don’t
choose a bear, a bear chooses you. For those reasons, we photograph
every bear we receive and upload the photos to the Bears Against MS Photo
Gallery (for a link, just click the Photo Gallery icon above). So if we have more
than one of this bear available and you would like to pick a face, you
may do so. However, please read the Important Things To Note below before completing check-out.
Photos in the Bears Against MS Photo
Gallery are organized in folders by type (Plush, Bearhouse, Mohair,
Minimo, Secret Collection) and by Year of Release (check this page’s
Product Features to determine that). We add the photos as soon as
possible after the bears are received but photographing hundreds of
bears takes time and some bears are camera shy, so we may have bears
whose photos haven’t been uploaded yet. Photos are initially placed in Reserved But Not Yet Allocated sub-folders
so that collectors who have pre-ordered the bear can choose theirs.
Then once all pre-orders have been satisfied, the photos of bears still
available are moved to the general folders.
Important Things To Note:
Adding,
moving or removing a photo is all done manually. Sometimes we can do it
immediately after a bear is assigned to a collector but sometimes it
can take us a little time and to be honest, sometimes we simply forget
to do so. Therefore, the photo folders may not always be 100% accurate
as to availability. So if, after viewing the photos, you are only
interested in adopting this bear if you can get a specific one, PLEASE
DO NOT COMPLETE CHECK-OUT AT THIS TIME. Instead, place the bear in your
cart and use our Saved Cart feature so that you can easily find the listing later and then also use the Contact Us
link (in the left side panel) to ask us to check availability of the
specific bear you’d like to adopt. Please note, the Saved Cart feature does not update our stock quantity or remove the bear from availability to other customers. Our
inventory only updates when we manually change the quantity or
automatically when check out is completed, not when a bear is put in
your cart. Once we confirm that the specific bear you want is
available, we will put that bear aside for you and let you know
that you can proceed to check out.
