In the early 1980's when bears were becoming very popular, Raikes decided to use
his
wood carving talents and make a very different bear. His bears had
the added feature of a hand carved wooden face. And in 1985 Raikes entered
the bear market in a big way with the Applause company. the Bears have been
featured in a lot of merchandise as well, some of which includes toys, greeting
cards,party goods, cell phone covers, interior decoration sets, stickers,
clothing accessories, figurines, ornaments, decorative accessories, Fun Stuff,
Purses and Handbags, T-Shirts, Tank Tops, Night Shirts, School Supplies, Bags
and Briefcases, Keychains ,Outerwear, Scarves and Ties,Shirts, Watches, Decals,
Glasses, hats, bags, Cooke jars,Conforters, Cushions, Stickers, Night lights,
and many other goods.
Today the company is run by the Raikes Family,
The bears designed by Robert, are then sent to China
to be hand carved and produced. The bears are all hand carved in a
variety of small grained woods, although maple is the most commonly used. Faces
are stained, painted, lacquered and then sewn out of mohair.
