Uncle Tibbs: ladies bear?

I was watching a little TV earlier today when a commercial came on that caught my attention.  Now I usually don't pay much attention to the commercials but this one intrigued me.

In this commercial, a man was trying to impress a lady for Valentine's Day and he picked up the phone to place an order for a bear.  The person narrating the commercial said that a bear is much better than flowers or chocolates (I agree with this statement 100%).  Then the bear arrived in the mail and the man brought the bear to the woman.  The woman was so happy to see the bear.  The bear also looked like... UNCLE TIBBS.

This commercial said you could also order the bear online so I went to the website out of curiosity.  There were many bears on this website, and they even had bears bigger than Uncle Tibbs.  That is pretty big if you ask me.  I showed Uncle Tibbs the commercial and the website and he said that is where he came from also, but that there are many bears that look like him and so he is not the one in the commercial.

That got me thinking... I wonder how many stuffie bears there are in the world.  How many Valentine's Day bears will be born tomorrow?

Today something beary interesting happened.

There was a knock at the door and then a loud thud.  When I opened the door, I saw a large box.

The box had this funny label on it.  I also noticed there was an airhole on the box. An airhole?  Could something be inside?  I put my ear to the box and listened - I heard something moving around!

Then, in a booming voice, the box said, "LET ME OUT!!"  I jumped back in surprise.  I was both curious and scared.  I cut the box carefully with scissors and opened it.  Inside...was a bear.  A beary beary beary LARGE bear.

"Finally!" the bear said, stretching his long arms.  I had never seen such a big bear in my entire life - only in movies.  He crawled out of the box and looked around.  Then he looked at me.

"Well, you're a small little bear," he said.

"I may be small but I have a big heart!" I said.  He laughed a hearty laugh.  I felt the ground shake.

"Yes, indeed.  I can tell you certainly have a lot of spunk. Thank you for letting me out of that box.  My name is Mr. Tibbs.  You can also call me Uncle Tibbs.  He extended his large paw for a pawshake.

"My name is Ajdin.  It is nice to meet you.  But I must ask, where do you come from and how did you get here?"

"Ah Ajdin, that is a very good question.  I have traveled all over the world.  I have been to many countries.  My most recent trip was to China, then I spent some time in Vermont.  And now... I am here."

"You must be very tired, Mr. Tibbs."

"Yes, I am," he said, yawning.

"In that case, here is a pillow and blanket.  You can take a nap on the couch," I told him.  In no time, Mr. Tibbs fell asleep.

Who exactly is Mr. Tibbs?  What was China like?  Do bears just magically appear at the doorstep in America?  I have so many questions to ask Mr. Tibbs after he wakes up.
