Finaly finaly i have finished taking pictures of all my brown bears and polarbears. And sorting, renaming and cataloguing them. To celebrate this occation i would like to share with you my latest pictures with variations of the famous Britains brown bear and Britains sitting polarbear.

Note: the 4th from right is my first brown bear in the collection. I have had it in my zoo playset when i was a child.

This week's new additions. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
An interesting black version of the Britains/HongKong sitting bear. Its paw has broken off. Here compared to it's look-a-like white brother. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
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.

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.
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!
