Dutch Bear's Collection, update 28 March

Congratulation for these colourful Polar bears

Soon.... Soon you will have more... Ghehe...

Nice new additions, I like the Playmobil bear

Nice new bears. Quite interesting that it is easy to see that a red bear is a polar bear.

Congrats. Hey did you know you were in a band with Sergey and Kosta ?

I was?

An interesting black version of the Britains/HongKong sitting bear.
Its paw has broken off.

Two almost identical bears, yet they have the tiniest differences, like the position of the casting mark
(*Is there a real name for that anyway???) or the deep horizontal line  under it.
They have different hair/stripes texture on neck and paws, but that is very hard to see in the picture.
Here the two new ones are compared to three coolour variations is already had.

Impressive variations DutchBear and very funny movie Kosta

Amazing how you can find amazing, new models, Bear !!!
That magnet-bear is hilarious

Thanks to Kosta we know how a brown bear can turn into a polar bear
But your polar bear knows how to turn into a BLACK bear

I was at one of the bigger carbootsales on Easter Sunday.
Kind of escaping family brunch.
Walked around for almost 5.5 hours.
Even checking some of the place twice.

I counted my bears this evening...

168 brown bears
159 polarbears
79 giant panda's
55 black+other species

72 in materials shelf (metal, gem, glass, cristal, stone, wood, wax)

GRAND TOTAL: 533 ..... and coutning.

533 and counting indeed
Amazing how many there are! Hope one day to see all those bears in real life :3

Impressive, always impressive to see how your collection grows, all these variations, incredible! It is very useful that, with all these figures, you have them catalogued now.
I don't know a special name to the variation you presented, maybe just variation. :)
Ahahah, I enjoyed a lot Kosta's video... I was not scared at all!

No i mean the mark on a figure where it has been in the mold.

The Elastolin-Polar bear : WOW ! I have one, and was never able to find out what brand it is
