Princess the Bear (PE Pellets, Indonesia, No Space, Canadian Tush Tag)

This Princess pairs the Indonesia no-space, P.E. version with a Canadian customs tush tag, the import tag Canada requires on plush sold there. Unlike its P.V.C. counterpart, which the Canadian tag pushes into a much higher price band, this one barely moves: the tag adds only a dollar or two over the plain Indonesia no-space P.E. bear, which itself sells for $6 to $19.

The gap between the two comes down to pellets rather than country or the Canadian tag. Indonesia no-space bears with the earlier P.V.C. fill are treated as closer to the first edition, so a Canadian tag on that version compounds two things collectors already want. The P.E. version is later production, and the Canadian tag does not change that.

No-space still refers only to the swing tag's text, printed without a line break on the last four lines inside. Ty used this tag for the earliest China run and part of the initial Indonesia run, and the spacing was intentional on every Princess made, not a factory error.
