'''Bitty Bear''' is a five-inch tall teddy bear that was originally sold with [[Bitty Baby]] with the release of the line in '''1995''' and [[Retirement|retired]] in '''2013''' with the line's revamping. <br />
<br />
==Overview and Description==<br />
<br />
Bitty Bear (who was marketed as female) was included with the purchase of any Bitty Baby doll along with the accompanying book ''Bitty Bear's Family Album'', a board book that introduced the extended family of Bitty Bear. The tan low pile fleece-style cloth cord-jointed bear came with a pink bow around the neck.<br />
<br />
Bitty Bear alone could be purchased for a cost of ''$8''. Later, Bitty Bear and ''Bitty Bear's Family Album'' could also be purchased separately for a cost of ''$12'', where they were packaged in either a clear handled bag with the Bitty Baby logo or the yellow Bitty Baby boxes.<br />
<br />
Bitty Bear's birthday is February 20th.<ref>Archived Events Page at AG Place Chicago.</ref><br />
<br />
==Bitty Bear Accessories==<br />
<br />
To help tie the doll and bear together in the collection, the majority of Bitty Baby's [[List of Bitty Baby Clothing|outfits]] came with additional small items for either Bitty Bear to wear or use (e.g. a hat or collar, a small riding/sitting toy) along with small board books starring Bitty Bear as an anthropomorphic bear. Some [[List of Bitty Baby Accessories and Furniture|furniture or accessories]] came with small accessories for Bitty Bear to be included. Bitty Bear was also featured on one of the tees in the [[Bitty Tees Gift Bag II]].<br />
<br />
==Depreciation and [[Retirement]]==<br />
<br />
Items for Bitty Bear began to no longer be included with sets outside of the board books with the [[Two-in-One Green Apple Set]] in 2007; by the next year, 2008, no extra items were included in outfits for Bitty Bear though the included books continued to focus on her as a character. The last book to be paired with an outfit was the [[Ocean Blossoms Swim Set]] which came with ''Bitty Bear's Sprinkler Splash''. <br />
<br />
After the revamp in 2013, all references to Bitty Bear and all Bitty Bear books were removed from the line, effectively retiring the character. <br />
<br />
==Bitty Bunch==<br />
<br />
Other Bitty animals were released for the line in ''2002'' as the ''Bitty Bear Bunch'' or ''Bitty Bunch''. They consisted of the following: <br />
<br />
* [[Bitty Bunny]]<br />
* [[Bitty Ducky]]<br />
* [[Bitty Froggy]]<br />
* [[Bitty Kitty]]<br />
* [[Bitty Lambie]]<br />
* [[Bitty Piggy]]<br />
* [[Bitty Puppy]]<br />
<br />
Each of these were available with a family album reflecting their families. The Bitty Bunch were integrated in some outfits and books in place of Bitty Bear and included on various clothing designs, especially in books; the most notable are the three different Bitty Tees Gift Bags which had a collection of bodysuits with each of the characters. Due to similar body construction each character can wear the same accessories that Bitty Bear wears; the exception is Bitty Duckie, who has wide wings and attached legs to the lower torso, so may not fit vests and shirts.<br />
<br />
A collection of playsets were released as well:<br />
<br />
* [[Bitty Bunch Dress-Up Set]]<br />
* [[Bitty Bunch Playhouse]]<br />
* [[Bitty Bear's Tea Party Set]]<br />
* [[Bitty Bunch Bus]]<br />
<br />
All additional friends but Bitty Bear and integrated playsets and accessories were [[Retirement|retired]] in '''2009.'''<br />
<br />

<br />
* [[Miss AG Bear]], a full sized bear associated with the [[American Girl of Today]] line. <br />
* [[Bitty's Furry Bear]]<br />
