Bears like this attract collectors of antique toys and Soviet memorabilia, and the large size makes them popular props for vintage interiors and photo studios.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67671328587925,"sku":"v1|407023584954|0","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/s-l1600_5426176a-324f-4e91-81f9-083d3f4c1f2f.jpg?v=1791476575","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/large-vintage-soviet-teddy-bear-70-cm-plush-toy-glass-eyes","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
