Here are some pictures of the old and wonky polar bear

At 17,5 cm long, 8 cm high is not a small toy.
At 85-125 grams (i guess my scale is a bit off) it is quite light weight for its size.

My guess is at some time in history the left front paw was squished or pressed forward so the bear can not longer stand on four feet. It might explain the deep fold of the "left schoulder area" and the deep indentation of the left schoulder.

Fortunately this oldie found a sanctuary to live and be preserved for several years. The shape is particularly simple.
Just curious, have you acquired the Kaiyodo Wild Rush III polar bear? If it is as good as the Arctic fox I've got from that set, it is surely a little masterpiece. Off topic, I know. Wink

Maybe the best option at the moment is this one once shipping is included.
This year is being poor in bears, not even a panda from Schleich. Laughing Let's see what Mojö and Papo are bringing.

Very surprising model Shocked

It looks first like a homemade model only the wheels...

Too bad it is wounded, nevertheless, as Rogerio said, it found the right place to live and the right man to live with.

By the way, Rogério is right again, the Kaiyodo Polar bear is really gorgeous.

I am not sure if it is home-made. The face may be simple drawn on, the feet are quite plumb, but the suggested structure of the fur on the legs might not be something an amature sculpter would do.
And what would the plastic hole in de belly be for?

Wink It's a strange coincidence:
I only have one  paper mache animal in my collection , And it is also a bear.
