Steiff first produced this mohair penguin for children in 1928, in honor of Richard Byrd’s Antarctic Expedition. Today’s 13” Admiral mirrors the features that made the 1920s version so revolutionary. His legs and beak feature red paint applied by hand. His pupil eyes are backed in felt for a realistic effect. And his pudgy body is “weathered” with light airbrushing, as if he has just dried off after a playful swim in the ocean. Admiral is a North American Limited Edition of 1,500 pieces. Launch date: 2006.
