“Dad’s Army” is one of the nation’s most loved and cherished comedy programmes. First broadcast in 1968, the series followed the misadventures of the Home Guard Platoon in the fictional seaside town of Walmington-on-Sea, on the south coast of England, during World War II.
To honour this comedy classic, the master craftsmen and women at Steiff have created a very special tribute to the self-proclaimed leader of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guards - Captain Mainwaring.
His glorious light brown fur is made of genuine mohair – one of the most beautiful and sustainable natural fibres in the world. His sparkling black boot-button eyes peek out at you from behind his distinctive glasses. And Steiff have even managed to re-create his neatly trimmed moustache!
Every detail is simply perfect; His jacket’s neat military styling with the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard insignia intricately embroidered on his sleeve. Even his cap badge is replicated in a fabulous antique brass finish. Like all the very best collector bears, Captain Mainwaring is fully jointed and has been designed with flat soles to his feet so he can easily stand to attention!
Naturally, you’ll find the famous Steiff button in Captain Mainwaring’s left ear along with a white label with red writing that signifies his special limited-edition status. Not only is he available exclusively from Danbury Mint, but only 3,000 bears can ever be made.
Actual size of bear is 10" (27cm) standing.
