Congo the gorilla from the Bearhouse Bears Collection by Charlie Bears BB173085
The Bearhouse collection this year has been inspired by Charlie’s many visits to zoos and a selection of wild and wacky characters have been introduced. Back in 2015 we launched our first ever gorilla who was called Dundas and our collectors adored him so much he soon became a rm favourite but he is due to retire this year so it seemed like the perfect time to create Congo a silver backed gorilla. William is thrilled with this introduction as it is normally the ape houses that are first on the list whenever they visit a new zoo. Congo has been created using a fusion of different plushes in a selection of greys and browns as Charlie felt this was exactly what they needed to try and recreate this wonderful animal. ere are lots of sculpturing and contouring techniques as well that we have used to create the right look and feel for the body shape for Congo especially on his little face.
Characters in our Bearhouse Bears Collection are made with child-friendly plush and are non-jointed. Charlie often designs them to have longer, slightly bent legs so they can dangle happily from a display shelf or tree log!
in Charlie's words "Bearhouse Bears are delightfully cheeky non-jointed characters, created using child-friendly plush and designed to appeal to our friends of 18 months and over although they are equally at home in the arms of a grown-up collector! They are machine washable"
