Dutch Bear's Collection, update 21 October

I have the same problem today

the flock polar bear is very nice indeed, and I just love the black wooden bear! that type of wood carved animal is my favourite style.
Well done Sandor!

I have a Russian wood carved bear that I bought in Moscow. He is such a beauty and holding some strawberries suspended on a string over a wooden pot on his lap. If I ever get him out of storage I shall take a pic for you.

It is a clay figure by Swedish artist Harry Tilgman/ Tilgmans Ceramic Keramik from the 1960's
(if my research is correct)

I can see two pictures.
That big bear must be from wealthy families. Those guys always like to show off their wealth. :)

Now it works, nice additions my friend

I was out and about at a large indoor fleamarket i had never been before.
It was in combination with a pokemon fair. I would say it was a lucrative trip.

*update: it turns out I already have both the floc brown bear and the Duplo panda. Too bad.
I couldnt see it right on the pictures on my phone. I guess I need to take some new ones soon.

Question is: do i clean and polish them?

Great additions,congrats!

I was very surprised to find this large polar bear. But i dont know the brand. It is just labeled Polar Bear / Made in China / D.C.

How many bears now?

Oh i gave up counting years ago. Usualy when people ask, i say over a 1000. To most that is allready a number they can't grasp, so it doesn't matter if it is 900 / 1000 / 1100.

Ok, I understand, it doesn't change anything to know how much liters are in the lake

Only the "fence around the lake" needs to get bigger and taller.
Of course I mean the glass cabinets. I dont have room anymore.

I know what it's like

Congratulations on your models Sandor!

The wooden one on the right is a Russian bear. Most probably had a strawberry in his left paw and a wooden bucket underneath, similar to my Russian bear.

I like the shiny brown plastic one. What make is that?

It says TM and 2002 DreamWorks, so my guess is Toy Major. I am not a cartoon movie expert. I couldn’t be sure what movie it is from.

Of the wooden bear they had even a larger one, about 30% larger than this. But I didn’t get it just because.

You probably know this movie
It's my favorite movie

Yes ofcouse! I like it too. Bart, the huge adult grizzly was an amazing actor. He even learned to growl and roar silently. So the post-production could add and edit a sound bite later.

This weekend's finds:

including the Papo 50005 Grizzly (2004-2010), again a large adult polarbear, by TM, also a lovely ice-scating bear, and although i prefere to collect bears without humanoid things, accessories or activities, this head/face is really really good. So i will let those scates pass.

Congratulations
