The company Hansa Creation was founded by German-born industry veteran Hans J. Axthelm in 1972, who had experienced many years with the U.S. corporation Ideal Toys. Hans wanted to create a product with a useful life span of 10 years or longer with the vision to create “amazingly realistic” plush animals designed from ARTIST PORTRAITS of the world’s majestic and EXOTIC wildlife. Hans and the ARTISAN TEAM have dedicated themselves to the development and production of “true to life” replications of animals in their natural habitat. Designs are as exact as possible in their detail.

Individually hand-crafted by their studio artists, HANSA CREATION offers the world’s widest range of “realistic” soft sculpture (plush) animals from the around the world. The animals are anatomically scaled from small size to actual life size like the 5 meter (16 foot) tall Giraffe.
From their socially responsible, eco-friendly studio environment, HANSA CREATIONS lovingly designs each masterpiece from portraits of animals in their natural habitat, each with its own unique personality. Each animal’s “coat” is meticulously cut by hand, never stamped out by machine. Soft paws, swishing tails, and especially soulful eyes and faces are lovingly detailed to create the life-like look that is unmistakably Hansa.
