SQ Teddy Bear?
I am ready to fly SQ business for the first time from PEK to SIN.
I have seen many flyers obtaining their SQ teddy bear onboard, not sure if this route also provides such toys?
Apologize if this has been asked before.

My 3.5 yo son has gotten the teddy bear on each of his 10+ flight on SQ in C. It's not very nice, it's like a small stiff little thing. My recently deceased Labrador would have it shredded within 5 minutes of arriving at home. Son couldn't care less, so that shows how nice (or rather not nice) it was.
Also son has been given an SQ gift bag, had a Shrek themed seatbelt cover (shrek, puss in boots, etc. --varied by flight) in it plus some puzzles IIRC.
His favorite kid toy is the LH seatbelt cover that has some stuffed airplanes on ribbon tied to it. Given in intra-Europe C class twice, don't recall getting on transatlantic segments.

Lol. 
Is the OP referring to the teddy bear for inflight purchase? Cos J class passengers don't get one.
If you were talking about the kids freebie I don't think the description above makes it very appealing. Plus at the rate SQ is cutting costs it's probably made in China and of dubious safety standards.

These Teddy bears maybe ' safe guarding ' the snacks on the ' help yourself ' counter on your flight 
Postcards , playing cards , etc too .. F & J , not sure about Y.
Seems one is welcome to take both types - just did yesterday

My medium and long haul flights with SQ in the past year had no teddies stocked. 
(only flew in J, maybe they had it in F?)
The FAs just mentioned something along the lines of "We've discontinued those. Can I get you a kid's coloring pack instead?"

I hope the reason is that they just did not stock the teddies on the flights rather than the cost down...

They look so happy on that bed. It must seem like home to them.
I ask my FA or purser for the bears and I'm usually offered two, often in different colors. This is long haul FC or J/C. No SQ status and not even *A status when I started asking.
