Subject: searching for 80s stuffed animal
I am trying to remember the name of this stuffed animal that was out, it was usually a bear (as far as I remember) and it's uniqueness was it's nose. The nose was sort of like a snowglobe, without liquid. You would squeeze the bear and the stuff in the nose would blow around. I remember one that was supposed to be popcorn in the nose. If anyone can remember the name or point me somewhere that can help I would be very grateful!

Those were called 'Nosy Bears'..I've provided a link with a group of three that are listed on eBay right now. I don't know if the popcorn bear is among them, but it would be a good place to look. There were SEVERAL of them listed under 'completed items'..I KNOW the popcorn bear was in there. Also, if you do a search on the web for 80's toys, I'll bet ya you could find people selling them!
I also remember one that blew a balloon up in it's nose, and a race car like one that made the car (I believe!) spin around and around...They were certainly clever little things, weren't they? Good luck!

I know you probably don't care,but my sister was at a garage sale the other day and picked up one of those bears. It is in fact the one with the popcorn nose. I also have an answer to the ebay subject. No, none of those bears is the one with the popcorn nose. The bear with the popcorn nose has red fur with a white stomach.
