Black bears : American black, Spectacled bear, Sloth bear, Moon bear, Sun bear .

Lovely bears everyone!

As an aside, black bears come in a variety of colors actually. Typical black and brown muzzle (this can sometimes have varying patches of white on the chest), "cinnamon" a brown or red color that gets them mistaken for grizzlies sometimes (can also appear as "blonde" occasionally), Kermode/spirit bears (varying white or cream coloration), as well as a rare color called Glacier which is a washed out gray appearance. Most people don't realize that though even where I live where black bears are all over, but they are a bit more dynamic in color than just simple black.

Love the sloth bear!

I agree the eyebrows on the moon bear are over the top, but some bears do show a little resemblance!

Yes Anouk, I saw that too on some moon bear but the Safari Ltd eyebrows are really really too impressive.

All these 3 bears are interesting to me. The sloth bear looks nice and it is a rare species in toy shape. The Asian black bear has probably a more moderated size than the Bullyland figure and it has a different pose, maybe Safari give a good update to the painting someday. The Kermod bear, despite being an American black bear, is an interesting release. More, it is a subspecies, not just a fur color variation and it uses a good mold.

I agree with you Rogério, this year is excellent for bear figures collectors, i hope a company will think about making a Spectacled bear soon.

Aaaaaand.....I caved.
Found the Sloth bear in a store yesterday and I couldn't resist.
Damn you Schleich! What a nice bear!

(Together with Mojo's American black bear and sun bear.)

Wonderful trio Simone. We are so fortunate these years of having so many species, it was not long ago that almost all bears were polar and pandas and grizzlies.

The new ( 2017) American black bear  from Schleich has got a cub

Love that you bring these together, Susanne!
I think they show exactly what was Schleich and what it is now. See the difference in terms of color contrasts and also in terms of texture. Oh, my niece loved so much that old bear cub, she was always trying to find a big family to him once she thought he had the expression of an orphaned creature.

Interesting to see together that bears :)

Thankyou, Roger

Your nice was right, the cob has a sort of "I am lost" pose
Nicole is a very empatic child

For reasons unknown to mankind i have never posted my black/other bears here before.

Somebody knows if the Schleich's sloth bear is more or less agree with Papo's polar bear (about 12 cm) and Schleich's giant panda (10 cm) in scale? Or looks like a bit too small?

I will make a comparison this week.
