There's a man living in that teddy bear 100%. Just waiting to pop out when the time is right.
This is exactly what I had in mind when I commented
what is this from? looks familiar but can't put my finger on it
The Human Chair, a manga by Junji Ito, based on a horror short story by Edogawa Ranpo
Junji Ito manga
Be grateful it didn't turn out to be an Eldritch horror with six and a half feet instead of just two long ones
I like it better with the legs.

I wonder if they manufactured a special one for the photoshoot or used a perspective trick.
Definitely a perspective trick. The legs are that long to be able to say that the bear is 6.5 feet long. Buyers want to buy a giant teddy bear and instead they get a smaller bear than expected, but with super long legs. The manufacturer and seller knew what they were doing: purposefully misleading buyers.
But why. I can't imagine "technically true but obviously misleading" would be better than straight up lying
Probably harder to return when you technically got what you paid for.
Basically this, it was after all exactly as described.
I doubt they have the skill and camera to arrange a long-distance zoomed-in shot. The factory is obviously capable of making normal-looking 3” bears so I think they sell those too (at a lower price).
There's really no need for that much effort to make a confusing perspective photo. Just take the photo from a lower point than usual (it makes things seem larger), with the light out of the right direction so that the shadows don't spoil the illusion, with the long legs pointing towards the camera in saturated light so that the depth is not clear. Kinda exactly like was done here.
Pretty sure just perspective trick. A lot cheaper and faster anyway.
I really hope it's a perspective trick because that indicates some real thought on the part of the scammer. They intentionally made something that while technically true, is misleading, but possible to photograph without revealing the scam.
I don't think they have the skill and camera to arrange the necessary telephoto shot. The factory is obviously capable of making normal-looking 3” bears so I think they sell those too (at a lower price).
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
hey baby, do those legs go all the way up?

Hideous? That's an accurate representation of the Nigerian Long-Legged Bear. It kills its prey by choking it with its long back legs.
