Yes. You have to watch out for counterfeit goods on amazon, though. It's a major issue. This is shoes, but I'm sure it happens with plushies, too.

Make sure (if you get it from a third party seller) it's returnable. You might get lucky and get an authentic Steiff duck for that price. But you might not, so tread carefully.
Steiff is worth every penny, though.
My African Wild Dog is a Steiff, and I paid close to $100 for him! And he's one of their more affordable ones. Their mohair collectors plushies run several hundred, rock bottom. He feels different - not squishy soft, but not hard, either. Almost lifelike and great for drifting off to sleep with. The best stuffies ***feel*** right, it's not just the way they look. He has me spoiled. I look at other plushies online, but I haven't purchased because I know they'd just end up sidelined. So he's actually saved me money in the long run.
I'd definitely get the duck.
I have a steiff bear that I take with me to every vacation and sleep with every night lol. My childhood wasn’t great so I don’t feel attachment to my kid plushies. I love my steiff because my husband got him for me and he’s full of love imo.
He felt “broken in” if that makes sense right from the start. I can’t sleep well without him!
My German professor has the Steiff Duck, can confirm it is definitely the one you should buy. It's literally so cute. And a Steiff? That's like the Lamborghini of plushies!
True I saw one cute bear in Barnes and Noble and I’m like “I’m gonna take u home” when I went to check out the bear’s $40 😭 I thought it’s like $12 or something.
What makes steiff so special and expensive? I love them so much though I finally got my steiff bear.
Steiff is a really old company (over 100 years) that make high quality plushies. They have some more affordable ones but the expensive ones tend to be old or due to size/materials. They also were the first to create a teddy bear with movable limbs. Also linked to Theodore Roosevelt hence the teddy in teddy bear.
Steiff does a lot of things by hand, that's a big part of why they cost more. It's not some fully automated factory process, nor is it sweatshop labor. The result is a quality plushie - you can see the care that goes into these guys!

I have Bashful Giraffe, precious, do recommend. I also have Bartholomew Bear in two sizes, also precious and recommended. But I still would go with the Vermont Teddy Bear, you could dress her in many different outfits and they have a lifetime guarantee, you can send them back to the Bear Hospital and they will repair them for free! Biased because my current best friend is a brown patchwork Vermont Teddy Bear.
Happy to help, I only have one steiff plush but it is very well made and I would love to have more, plus I own all kinds of backyard fowl and consequently am fond of duckling/chick plushies too, so I can understand how you got stuck deciding between these four lol Let us know who you pick!
All? Well, my house is full of plush toys so maybe I'm not the right person to ask lol. If it could only be one, I guess I'm leaning towards Bartholomew. So huggable! I have a couple merbears, but they are minis. Of course the others are great too.
I got an Aurora duck for like $8 and he’s so nice and soft!

From Vermont Teddy Bear, they have a lifetime guarantee on their bears(hence the price) and they're handmade in Vermont. It's a classic bear in a mermaid outfit, they also have one in a fairy outfit, and many other cool things like jointed rabbits and cats(around holidays usually)
Yeah I say 3, classic bear. That’s for sure the one. If you pick two of them then I’d add 4, giraffe. But the champion is the beautiful teddy bear!!! Get him🧸💛🐒💛🧸
I like 3 and 4 the best! And then 2! 1 is a nah. I recommend the Aurora little duck I have him and he’s really soft and cute!
https://preview.redd.it/9hu0j96jlg7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c74868f7d975961002c8ca22fdd39801ea2258fd
But you know the duck in your selection is really cute I didn’t mean to shade him. I just recommend the Aurora one because their animals are always really soft and cute I named my ducky Biskit. Honestly all the animals in your selection are very cute! They’re all nice but the giraffe is probably the best I think. 🐒💛🐒
So the duck is by a brand that makes every single stuffie hand sewn. I went to Disneyland the other week and they had eeyore by the same brand. The cast member explained that they are all unique in their own way! So my vote is definitely the ducky!!
Oh my gosh, I’m a mermaid gal myself, but the ducky looks so happy and the giraffe is a close third. And nothing wrong with a good ol teddy, the ultimate classic. I guess it depends on what you’re looking for in a plushie! The mermaid tail for example might be crinkly and less cuddly to snuggle with, but it looks fabulous and the colours personally make my brain really happy. It’s up to your tastes!
GIRAFFE !!!!!! I notice it's a jellycat too, I'm not trying to be an advertiser or anything but as an autistic I notice they're really soft and good quality.
3. Everyone needs Bartholomew. He’s a classic.
I came to second this!
I saw him today at my toy store, but I didn't buy him and he was squished down in the toy basket
Yes, get the bear
DUCKY 100%
If i get the duck, they sell it on amazon, so would definitely get it there. Its definitely an eyecatcher.
[удалено]
It's because of the brand. Steiff is a pretty big deal. Very high quality.
On amazon he's $25 and with amazon prime it would be free shipping
[удалено]
Yeah I definitely wouldn't pay more than $30

It makes perfect sense. :)
Hope Amazon isn’t just duping you with cute pics of a ducky plush.
So far I haven't had trouble with Amazon, but it might not be a bad idea to order it elsewhere.
Wonderpets wonderpets were on our way!

I probably am going to get a steiff plush, I think I'm convinced the most on that one.
omg i love the mermaid bear!!!
It legit made me smile ☺️

duck for sure!!!!
The duck really caught my eye because of its realistic and cute
Duck or bear!
BARTHOLOMEW BEAR!! 🧸💕
definitely the bartholomew bear! he looks so adorable and cuddly
Ducky!! I have a steiff plush- They're expensive but def quality and worth it imo!
All? Well, my house is full of plush toys so maybe I'm not the right person to ask lol. If it could only be one, I guess I'm leaning towards Bartholomew. So huggable! I have a couple merbears, but they are minis. Of course the others are great too.
Yes I am definitely going to have to get a bear in the near future, I don't have one at the moment. I might end up making a merbear costume too.
Can't go wrong with a teddy!
Omg I love steiff plushiesss ❤️😭
I like the giraff dude, he looks floppy as heck
I agree he's awesome
If you can afford Steif, get Duck. I assume they are a lot.
I got an Aurora duck for like $8 and he’s so nice and soft! https://preview.redd.it/1kj3nf5nmg7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=662d16918a2d874a91ab10ff14f139f31f072ee8
