Dairy Queen National Wildlife Federation Brown Bear- walkaround/comparison

This is the National Wildlife Federation-branded brown bear that was released at Dairy Queen restaurants. It is part of a group of animals that attach to bases representing different continents, copyrighted 1996. I acquired the brown bear and jaguar at that time, and they have remained a couple of my favorite animal toys. Pictures of this bear seem to be absent online, so let's have a look:

Here's a comparison with its companion, the Nature Techni Colour brown bear. While the NTC bear has impeccable proportions and detail, the NWF bear has more interesting coloration and a special bearishness to its bearing.

I hope you enjoyed looking.

Wow, very very interesting. It is like in the past as we see often new things. Do you have more informations? Do you know the other figurines??

Andreas is right. Your topics are always very interesting and we always learn something new. Defintively bears are getting popular these last days.

Fantastic little bear, love the concept!
Great size with the Kiran Club one, so cute together!

Awwww he is very cute.
This recute may report to Bear HQ anytime.

I'm glad you guys like the walkaround. Andreas, I thought I saw something about them on the forum once in the past, but can't find it again. I got this bear and the jaguar (South America) from the local Dairy Queen at the time, and sometime later I ended up with the Koala (Australia) secondhand without the base. Walkarounds for those two are coming. I think there is a wolverine for Europe, and maybe a Panda for Asia and elephant for Africa?  

Rogério, hopefully I will be sharing more topics/pictures now that I've switched to Postimage- I had no idea the alternatives ran so much smoother than Photobucket (for now at least).

Dutch Bear, I wish I had gotten more of all the animals when they were available, then a bear would certainly be migrating to the great colony in the Netherlands.  He does have a charming face.

Very "good old days" topic Thank you Andy!

I like very much the comparison pics with the Kitan bear. By the way I didn't imagine the Yowie bear was so small.

Found the discussion  from the Show Us Your Rarities topic (pg. 7). I'll leave the link here for reference:

So, the group includes a brown bear, jaguar, koala, wolverine, giant panda, African elephant, and emperor penguin. There are also ID cards- if I can find mine I will add images to the walkaround.
