Bears are also nice, there are many figures in the market because they are very popular creatures. Let us know your choices!

I will do

Just made my latest order from MPV with my first bears in. I chose 3, all Schleich to start. The Polar bear and Grizzly females and the new Panda (eating). Any opinions on a black bear and a brown bear?

Sorry no monkeys just yet!

Great! For an American black bear I use the Wild Safari in catalogue, but you also have the Schleich female retired and Mojo is launching a new one this year that looks promissing! :)
For an Asian black bear you only have the 2012 Bullyland. :)
For a brown bear it depends of the subspecies you are searching. I personally like the Schleich one and I need to see the 2012 CollectA in real life to have an opinion. The Safari with the salmon is somewhat small but also nice! :)

It´s beautiful, I love those cats!

Very fine repaint and very good idea

I guess a lot of us had the same idea... But you are the one who found enough courage to do it. Hurray

I hope too a company will make it one day, MOJO or maybe PAPO I guess it's time for PAPO's big ats sculptor to work a bit again

The Schleich black bear is one of my favourites. The Safari black bear is lovely, but as with most Safari figurines the paintwork isn't fantastic. The Papo one is detailed and in an unusual pose, I used to have him but I decided I had too many black bears

Maybe you would like to wait for Mojo American Black Bear, it looks veeeery nice in pictures...

The colour irritated me too much in the end so I started again

Even better, even better!

Try making his face a little more expressive (eyes, eyebrows). He is gorgeous so far!

Thanks Roger and thank you Wildheart for the advice... there definately isn't much life in the face!
