Are these bears authentic?

[vintageduffy]

Hi can anyone tell me if these bears I found online are authentic? I believe the shellie may stand alone picture may not be authentic. But the duffy stand alone one seems legit. But for the couple shellie may and duffy bear, I am not sure.

I have a very large number of Duffy & ShellieMay bears. They look authentic to me!

thanks for your input. it sucks that there are so many fake bears out there. Nobody would ever think of finding a fake precious moments doll/toy,mickey/Minnie toy/slyvanian families toy. There are so many varieties of the counterfeit ones, and some even look realistic.

Hi, Sandrita!! Hi, Vintage Duffy!! Yes those bears look real to me, too!!

Yeah it is too bad that there are so so many fakes that try to pass as real merchandise. There are even bait and switch photos and fake accounts that take money and send nothing in return. I actually have encountered things like this with other non-Disney character merchandise as well. I appreciate we have each other to talk to about these things!!! ❤️💕🐻🧸 It really does help me sort out what's authentic and what's not!!

Hi, I recently found a Duffy bear online, but I'm not sure if it's authentic, could someone help me out? Thanks so much! I've seen some videos online that Duffy's nose should always be fabric? but this one looks plastic so I'm not really sure I should get it hahaha. The tag also says made in China but aren't duffys made in Vietnam? Send help! Thanks so much

Frankly I wouldn't risk it. I would rather pay a bit more and ensure the bear is authentic. Unless u are not fussy about inauthentic bears which look good. Besides tbh I feel this bear's snout is a bit asymmetrical and lopsided. His fur pattern and eyes look good but its not saying much. I highly suspect it could be a fake. But perhaps others could chime in? I always google for AliExpress duffy bears/stella lou/shelliemay as they have a lot of bears which are obviously iffy and fake and I compare it to the bears on online shopping sites and second seller sites.

This one is definitely FAKE. Tokyo Duffy bears do NOT have that waffle kind of fur or a shiny nose (the nose normally has a matte material over it). This one looks very poor quality overall and Tokyo would NEVER put one like that on their shelves.

In the past, several years ago, some batches of Duffys were made in China, but most these days are made in Vietnam. The ones made in China have been a bit more plump/round in a way, A friend of mine in Japan has one or two and they're very cute.
