GRATEFUL DEAD ~ BEANIE BEAR COLLECTION ~ SUGAREE ~ FIRST GENERATION ~ BY LIQUID BLUE
The first Grateful Dead plush bear came to life in 1990.
At that time one of the main design manufactures was Native Art Trading Company.
A little later the tide shifted to plush bears being designed and manufactured by Liquid Blue.
Bear Name: Sugaree
Born: 4/12/82 at MSG
The First Generation Set of 11 includes:
3 Tie-Dye, 6 Solid Colors and 2 Animal Patterns.
On June 21, 1998 it was announced which of the 5 bears from the group of 11 were going to be retired. The five and their world wide production numbers are.....
ALTHEA (49,920), JACK STRAW (49,920), SUGAREE (57,600), TENNESSEE JED (56,256) and DELILAH (44,464) with the Black Paws, and (11,000) without the Black Paws. Delilah without the black paws was a mistake in production.
Each Bear comes with a laminated full-color tag with the Bear's name...
The Bear's birth data (from a Grateful Dead show date and venue), and a "Favorite Tour Memory" (story of fact and fiction on the road with the Grateful Dead)
Why a Grateful Dead Bear?...
The dancing bears symbolized the fun-loving aspect of the Grateful Dead and their fans. Over the years these bears have appeared on multi-colored bumper stickers, T-Shirts and posters.
The origin of the bear was taken from the Bob Thomas album art cover.
The back cover of History of the Grateful Dead, Vol 1 (Bear's Choice)(recorded Feb 13 and 14, 1970) showed multi-colored marching bears.
Bob's inspiration for the bear came from a 36 point lead slug of a generic bear that was a
standardized
figure from a printer's font box.
A note for collectors:
When Liquid Blue announced the retirement of the 5 bears...
Sugaree was already sold out during the first week of June.
Cosmic Charlie and St. Stephen were sold out soon after.
Liquid Blue released more of the non-retired bears from the first generation, they all had the new style hang tag and tush tag.
