R. John Wright's Hugs Around The World

IN THESE TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY AND STRESS WE COULD ALL USE A "HUG"

In 2005 R. John Wright Dolls, Inc. created a one of a kind for the American Teddy Bear Relief Auction to benefit victims of the Tsunami Disaster. This piece consisted of three fully-jointed 23" bears made of mohair with glass eyes and embroidered features. Made in various shades of mohair plush they reflected the diverse world population. They were posed around a handmade globe of Earth made entirely of felt. This magnificent piece realized $25,000 at the benefit auction. 

Now R. John Wright is offering a special small-scale replica of this one-of-a-kind creation! Each of the three bears in the "hug" encircling our planet measure 8 inches tall. The bears are fully jointed and made of finest mohair plush. Included is a handmade model of Earth made entirely of felt with applied continents, raised relief mountain ranges and hand painted detail. The display is mounted on a handsome felt-covered wood base. To maximize display options, the jointed bears are free-standing and removable from the base. Each bear has a brass eyelet in the bottom of the right foot which can be slid onto metal pegs in the base for secure posing. The base also features an engraved brass plaque showing the limited edition number. Included is a custom-made, museum-quality, protective acrylic cover. The total outside dimensions measure: 12" X 12" X 11 5/8" high. This is an outstanding edition, a must-have for the serious collector.

This timely R. John Wright "Hug" is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide.

FRANKENSTEIN AND BRIDE MICE MATCHED SET

by R.John Wright

SUPPLIES VERY LIMITED! 
Both 3", 2017, "Frankenstein" and the "Bride of Frankenstein" match set - is the first in a series of MONSTER MICE - celebrating the classic monsters of filmland! Frankenstein's fearsome bride is made of fine mohair plush with hand embroidered features, resin hands and feet, glass eyes, inset whiskers, and a leather tail,jointed at the neck and shoulders for added posability. The Bride is outfitted in a stark modernist gown tailored of crisp white poplin. Her arms are wrapped with silk bandages held together with tiny safety pins. Her iconic hairstyle is fashioned of fine merino wool hand-rooted into her scalp. Like most of the recent RJW mice the Bride has a built-in metal stand for effortless display.


Frankenstein wears the classic outfit of trousers, a collarless shirt, and a black topcoat. His hand-cobbled, sturdy leather boots enable him to stand unaided. Frankenstein's deathly pallor is accented by his lowered eyelids - giving him a touch of melancholy. Tiny metal staples in his forehead and bolts in his neck provide the perfect finishing touches.

Latest Release From R. John Wright Dolls

John & Susan Wright made a rare signing appearance in England this month! The event was the first annual Teddy Bear Festival held at the magnificent Woburn Abbey estate and gardens. Two extremely limited RJW 'Edwardian' bears were made to mark this special occasion. The first is a little black bruin named 'Woburn.' He is accompanied by a sweet companion bear named 'Abbey!' Both bears measure just 8 inches tall and are made of the finest Shulte mohair. Five-way jointed, each bear features a molded leather nose, glass eyes, hand-embroidered features and detailed felt paw pads. Woburn sports a Black Watch plaid bow with a traditional brass bell while Abbey has tiny pink silk bows on each ear.

The bears are produced in editions of only 50 pieces each.   Village Bears is pleased to announce that we will have a very limited number of these bears to sell along with the very limited garden bench  produced by the RJW studios to accompany the Woburn Abbey bears.
