Comparethemarket.com's meerkat star Aleksandr Orlov will be on sale exclusively in Harrods in December as a talking toy.
The teddy, which will cost £19.95, will say the popular "simples" catchphrase and make his famous squeak sound when his belly is squeezed.
Only 5,000 of the toys, which come complete with robe and scarf, will be made and the sale of each toy will include a donation of £4.34 plus VAT to the London Zoo charity ZSL.
Aleksandr Orlov already has a strong online following with his own Facebook and Twitter pages. Facebook friends of the star were given a preview of the recent adverts before they were aired on TV.
Watch the latest adverts from Comparethemarket.com as well as real-life meerkats on Meercam.
If you're too late to buy the Aleksandr Orlov toy, try adopting a meerkat at London Zoo instead.
Alternatively, buy a limited-edition London 2012 bus, sure to be another big seller this Christmas.
