Inspired by the symbolism and wonder of the very first labyrinths from Greek mythology, many of our Charlie Bears Collectables featured in this year’s catalogue are steeped in myths, legends, mazes and puzzles.

Known as the bears with personalities, we hope you enjoy your journey through the labyrinth that is this year’s collectors catalogue! Beginning as always, with our Bearhouse Bears Collection you will find characters inspired by animals from around the world, some that you have probably never even heard of until now.

Our Charlie Bears Plush Collection is bursting with bears and characters just waiting to choose you. Our new Monsterology Series within the Plush Collection is sure to delight…will you become a Charlie Bears Monsterologist this year?

Our Plumo bears are all named after games and puzzles this year and together they make up our Enigmatology Series. The Signature Collection features four more Alice in Wonderland inspired characters but who have we chosen this year?

And finally, our Isabelle Collection is truly immersed in the wonder of this year’s theme and features our magical bears Labyrinth and Mizmaze together with so many more for you to enjoy including: fairy-inspired mice, folk tales and puppies named after seemingly mythical places…that do really exist!

We hope you enjoy our Labyrinth Collection 2024 as much as we have delighted in creating it for you.

The following four characters including Footsteps, our Ringtailed Mongoose shown here, are all standing tall at 25 bear paws high. That’s 76cm / 30” to those of you not familiar with our bear paws measurement (1 bear paw = 3cm or 1¼”).

ELPA’S FAQs

Elpa bear has answered some of our most frequently asked questions…we hope these are beary ‘elpful!

1. How do I pre-order my bears? Use our online worldwide ‘Find a shop’ search (www.charliebears.com) to find your local Charlie Bears retailer and contact them to pre-order any of the bears you see in this catalogue or call your local Bearhouse or Cubhouse and they can do a bear hunt for you.

2. Do I have to pre-order my bears? You do not have to pre-order your bears but with some of our limited edition characters, they will be fully pre-ordered by the first day of the 2024 launch. If you are unsure what to do, then please contact the bear cubs at your nearest Bearhouse or Cubhouse (see page 114 for contact details).

3. How do I find out the prices of the bears? This catalogue comes with a separate price list. If you don’t have this, please email headbear@charliebears.com and we can send it to you. All Charlie Bears have a recommended retail price (RRP) but the stockists can vary from this so it’s always best to check with your local store.

4. Will I be able to see the bears in the fur anywhere? There will be a video showcasing the 2024 ranges on our YouTube and Facebook pages. Also, all of these bear cubs will be available to view at The Bearhouse Gallery in Launceston, Cornwall from March 2024. For further information please contact your local Bearhouse or Cubhouse.

5. Will the Charlie Bears in this catalogue appear on QVC/TVSN? These bears are from our main collections and so we cannot guarantee that they will appear on the shopping network channels, which is where we focus on the launch of our Secret Collection. To make sure that you do not miss out on any of your favourite bears in this catalogue, contact your local stockist and talk to them about pre-ordering ahead of their release date.

6. How do I double-check any details regarding these bears? If you are unsure of a bear’s colour, material or anything else you’d like to know, please be sure to contact your local Bearhouse or Cubhouse and the bear cubs will be able to confirm all these details for you.

7. What do the quarters mean? Throughout this catalogue you will see our Q icons with either the number 1, 2, 3 or 4 inside it. This is an indication to you that we are planning to release this bear within that quarter of the current year. Quarter 1 is from January to March, Quarter 2 is from April to June, Quarter 3 is from July to September and Quarter 4 is from October to December. However, at the time of this catalogue going to print, our schedule for releases by quarter is based on our current knowledge. With global logistics being as challenging as they are, we do anticipate some delays. Please bear with us as we do everything we can to keep to our published schedule of releases, but it is inevitable that we will encounter some delays in delivering Charlie Bears out to our worldwide network of stockists. We hope you understand - it’s beary tricky for lots of companies right now and unfortunately we are not immune to these challenges!
