Freddie Mercury Harlequin by Steiff

Freddie Mercury was one of rock’s most flamboyant frontmen, a natural showman with a vast array of fabulous stage costumes. Some of his most memorable were worn during the European leg of Queen’s “Day At The Races” tour in 1977.

During these concerts Freddie appeared in several full-length bodysuits inspired by his love of ballet and the legendary dancer Nijinsky. These flexible outfits made it easy for Freddie to move freely around the stage giving his all to his performance. Perhaps his most famous of all was ‘The Harlequin’, a striking black and white chequered bodysuit with a plunging neckline that bared his chest. It’s this iconic look that inspired Steiff – inventors of the teddy bear – to create Freddie Mercury – Harlequin. 

This superb collector bear has been hand-made from the finest sandy-brown mohair – one of the most beautiful and sustainable natural fibres in the world. He has sparkling black boot-button eyes and all his features have been lovingly stitched by hand. 

His eye-catching outfit has been made with the same loving care and attention as Freddie himself. Look closely and you’ll even see a delicate silver-tone box chain nestled into the fur of his magnificent chest.

Available exclusively from Danbury Mint, Freddie Mercury – Harlequin is being issued in a strict limited edition – only 1,977 pieces can ever be made.

Actual size of bear is 11" (27cm) standing.
