Be Be Dolls had been established by Frank and Ernest Popper in about 1948. They had fled from Czechoslovakia in the 1930s. After setting up a toy firm in London they moved the business to Ringstead, in East Northamptonshire. Although, the firm had the word dolls in the company name they specialized in teddy bears and soft toys. The firm was sold to Blossom when the Poppers retired.
