arctophile

A person who collects and enjoys teddy bears. Unlike "plushophile", this word almost NEVER implies a sexual fetish--only a sentimental interest.

Frannie is a serious arctophile if I ever met one: Not only did she have wall-to-wall shelves built for her teddy bear collection, but she also bought a database program just to catalog each bear by age and manufacturer.
