His company name is What-if Productions, look him up on the internet.
It is charged by natural light (sun light, or direct light) and will glow for 12 hours when the lights go out at night. It is heling kids with the fear of the dark, it is helping them sleep at night case when they wake up they can find the bear and go back to sleep. It is replacing night lights.
I think you can contact him and order.
The inventors name is Tim Mercer and his company once again is What-if Productions.
Good Luck. |
Congratulations to your friend. I am 20 years old and my first teddy bear ever was a glow in the dark bear called bluey. His production name is "Twinkley Slipper Bear" and its production date is 1987 from Regina Trading Co. Ltd. I got this from its tag right now, pretty worn out, but still visible. I am looking for one myself right now for my neice, and maybe a replacement for mine :P, ill admit that XD.
It is mostly blue, not sure if they ever came in pink for girls, but mine is various shades of blue stars on a medium-light blue fabric Head is mostly white with black nose, black eyes with blue rims, and blue stitching for a mouth and nose slit (anchor shaped). Feet are blue with white around ancles, 2 bunny ears on each foot with white in the forward-inside of the ears. Blue stars on him do not glow BUT he has some lighter colored stars that are hard to see in the day that glow bright at night and make a awesome stary field appearance all over him, and his whole head glows and parts of his feet and bunny ears. His neck is has a sewn pattern material, with a blue ribbon, probably tied in a bow at one point of time (notted and gnawed on from me, hehe)
I would say that if you could find this model you can throw away your childrens night lights, after about 21+ years of age, my bear is still growing strong (either produced or copyrighted in the year prior to my birth)
The reason I might be looking for a new bear myself is mainly because of a huge tear along his crotch and legs. Perhaps throwing him around the back of my neck and yanking his legs in either directions while growing up wasnt the healthiest habbit for him. I found him in a box a few months ago and started sleeping with him again. Reminds me of my youth, what can i say? (tried using him to find stuff in the dark, didnt help too much, but almost!)
After i finish this im going to run a quick search for the criteria to beat anyone to the punch on finding one XD
Later, and gl.
