I used to shoot for Hilton Worldwide Group, and I amassed a huge collection of them. Think at one stage, myself and two colleagues had an assortment of ducks, teddy bears, elephants and a truckload of other stuff in our bags, which brought a few smiles to the checkin staff when I had to open a couple of bags that contained photo equipment (I'd stuffed the toys in randomly). (That goat looks like one of the CX toys I picked up earlier this year too.)

I like the ones that had some connection to the area or culture; Conrad Miami from memory had a small Manatee - think they sponsored them as an endangered species?

My nieces also have a large collection - these days I still grab them, they enjoy getting a gift from some far flung place and I actually don't mind having them around to remind me of loooongs days, and finally enjoying a cold beer and a fine cigar at the end of the shoot.

Hmm I grabbed the Xmas Conrad bear from SIN for my niece ... I have grabbed the turtle which I think may be from Conrad Bali? The others I leave.

I've got a Conrad bear and a couple of ducks.

Got a few BKK Conrad elephants both the cloth and plastic ones left in the bath.

We've got two. I thought it was only Conrad that gave them....a whale and an octopus. Also a limited edition lion from IC Singapore. A bit of a waste really. Does anyone over 10 really care about a little stuffed toy? Oops......I retract that comment, I'd momentarily forgot that I was posting to the AFF where odd is a religion!

FWIW, the IC lion is heaps better than the Conrad offerings.

We could have "tussle of the toys" competition.

I'll see your cute and raise you a handsome and majestic!





But to really throw down the gauntlet, can you match this monogrammed trump card? :mrgreen:

Got a few of the ducks and the plastic elephant.

Have never come across the cloth variety.

In a couple of trips (24 nts) to the BKK Millenium Hilton we've collected 5 large cloth erawan, 4 small cloth erawan and one yellow plastic duck.

This is our Conrad zoo

I only have a small collection. But I do like giving them away when I get home which doesn't help the collection grow much.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the gold Macao bear. I took that one because we had a new kitten in the family who was chewing everything in site. He's seen better days now ... (the bear, not that cat!).
