Definitely a perspective trick. The legs are that long to be able to say that the bear is 6.5 feet long. Buyers want to buy a giant teddy bear and instead they get a smaller bear than expected, but with super long legs. The manufacturer and seller knew what they were doing: purposefully misleading buyers.
I doubt they have the skill and camera to arrange a long-distance zoomed-in shot. The factory is obviously capable of making normal-looking 3” bears so I think they sell those too (at a lower price).
