Michael Bedard Santa Claus & Reindeer Plush dolls

Michael Bedard Santa Claus & Reindeer Plush dolls ULTRA Rare, super hard to find! In the 90's, I had this pair up for sale on Ebay. I was contacted by Michael Bedard's wife, she was inquiring about this pair, and informed me that these were very limited, and never released in the US, they were only offered in Japan, and I believe it was for a promotion. She also informed me that I might want to hold on to them, because in a few years or so, Michael's Creation, The Santa Claus brothers would be coming out (a real cute cartoon movie, made for TV)....I pulled them from Ebay, and in 2001, sure enough the movie was released. So, these guys are super vintage, and in excellent condition, they have only been stored, never played with or displayed! Santa Claus's tag reads "Yes, I need you!" The Reindeer is wearing a shirt that says STAFF, his tag reads "Yes, I support you As your staff!" The tush tags, when put through the google translator says: Santa Claus Brothers" if you don't know who Michael Bedard is just look up his famous work of art Sitting Ducks, that might ring a bell! Great gift for Christmas Great for the serious collector. By the way, I have never seen another set of these, so grab them while you can!
