My "beary" good friend, Daphne Blau of Back Road Bears created the pattern and made the actual Mimzy Bunny for New Line Cinema. She also worked with Robert Tonner of Tonner Doll Company who is producing the Mimzy Bunny and the Emma Doll with Mimzy. On Monday, March 19th, both Daphne & I flew to The Big Apple for the day for the FAO Schwarz Signing event! Although Daphne designed and created Mimzy for New Line Cinema, she is not allowed to make any Mimzies for sale. You can however, find Mimzy on eBay! (below) After the listings you can see photos of the Mimzy movie signing at FAO Schwarz.

Daphne worked with Director Robert Shaye and made many revisions to her
original prototype before coming up with the final Mimzy.

Some Collectors then asked Daphne to sign their bunnies too!
Then... Daphne & I ended up in the Steiff Department!!!
This is me with a nice sized Steiff bear!
This Steiff bear - his name is Cappuccino - is special
because a friend of ours designed him FOR Steiff!
