Where it all started...

Ever since the My Blue Nose Friends range was launched back in May 2008, the cute little critters have gone down a storm!

Friends of popular superstar Tatty Teddy, the My Blue Nose Friends collection started off with Patch the dog, Kittywink the cat, Blossom rabbit, Dilly duck, Toots the elephant and Binky the panda.

Since then, to date (July 2010), 68 My Blue Nose Friends have been released, the latest of the limited editions being Passion love bug.

Limited edition My Blue Nose Friends

In 2009, My Blue Nose Friends limited edition teddies were introduced, starting with Breeze Butterfly. Four more have since been introduced, including Echo bat, Ruby robin, Legend unicorn, Stilts flamingo and Passion love bug.

The limited edition My Blue Nose friends are distinctive as they are set apart from the normal My Blue Nose Friends due to their shiny iridescent detailing. Breeze, Echo, Ruby and Stilts all have shiny bits on their wings, whilst Legend has a shiny unicorn. Passion love bug, the latest limited edition, has shiny antennae.

Tips for buying limited edition My Blue Nose Friends

If you are a member of the official My Blue Nose Friends website, you can get hold of an approved stockist list, which is extremely helpful if you want to locate stores in your area that will stock limited edition My Blue Nose Friends.

If you live local to a House of Cards store, you can ask the friendly staff about upcoming My Blue Nose Friends and limited editions. They will be able to phone the House of Cards warehouse and inquire about new stock and estimated delivery dates.

Carte Blanche give information on release dates of My Blue Nose Friends limited editions, so you'll have an idea of when they'll start arriving in shops. However, some stock won't reach shops and online stores until a little while after these dates, so it's always worth waiting a month or so before paying over the odds on auction websites.
