Hi! Recently, I got two toys in one of those miscellaneous grab bags at a thrift store. They are little white bears dressed in Christmassy clothes, made of a sort of rubbery material like a squeak toy but not as flexible, and each say 1993 TCFC on the bottom. Each measure about 3 inches high. Honestly, until I saw the TCFC stamp, I thought they seemed like cheapo dollar store toys!

I tried to research them, but the best I could come up with was a plush bear for sale on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-1994-TCFC-Honey-Teddy-Bear-Lane-Christmas-Clock-Stuffed-Animal-Plush-VTG-/330772059548?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d038d159c (http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-1994-TCFC-Honey-Teddy-Bear-Lane-Christmas-Clock-Stuffed-Animal-Plush-VTG-/330772059548?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d038d159c) It says it's a Teddy Bear Lane Christmas bear from 1994 (which is the same time frame as my bears), but I couldn't find anything even with that info. :( Does anyone remember these plastic bears? If they are indeed from the Teddy Bear Lane line, I'd love to know more about it!

So far the best I've been able to come up with is these identical twins to your set. The only new information is a possible connection to American Greetings, as TCFC was purchased by that group.

A note, TCFC has always been AG owned.
There is a bear on ebay atm called "Merry Gifts of Christmas" with that outfit on... (and the seller says it's made by tcfc).
