The 70cm sample of the LOOPWHEELER x Steiff collaboration, created to celebrate Steiff’s 145th anniversary, has finally arrived! It’s hard to convey in photos just how large it really is. Starting Thursday, November 5th, it will be on display exclusively at our Sendagaya store—please stop by if you’re curious to see it in person.

Here’s how it compares to the 25cm bears — absolutely massive, yet still incredibly cute!

The curly fur, reminiscent of a toy poodle, is irresistibly charming.

The basic design follows the 25cm version, but its size gives it a far more lifelike presence.

The katakana name tag is authentic, of course.

Underneath, it wears a T-shirt.

The sweatpants and printed details are equally impressive in scale.

Although it can’t stand perfectly on its own due to its jointed legs, it can be posed upright with light support. Available in a single Black version, priced at ¥594,000 (tax included). It’s a premium piece, produced in very limited numbers—if you’re considering it, we’d be truly honored.

Each bear comes packaged first in a non-woven protective bag…

…and then in this extra-large special tote bag, which is quite rare and difficult to obtain.

The reverse side of the tote features the message “A friend forever.” We look forward to welcoming you at our store!
