10mm bears

[Techno]

I've always liked that one. 
(From the first time I saw it, anyway  )
Cheers - Phil

Could we trade ammoland's bear for this one

[Techno]

The top bear's claws paws look a bit like furry gloves to me.
Cheers - Phil.

I knew I had seen that top bear somewhere ... its the MUller Rice bear.....still dont see why they use a bear to sell rice pudding but hey ...

[Luddite]

Excellent Barbarian!

I'd have like to see them slightly bigger (+10% maybe), but these will work well.  The pose is useful too as it can accomodate a rider.

It's because advertising executives are winkers and should be killed

We would like some bears doing, it would certainly tick off one of the more popular requests.  Ideally, we would need 3 poses of them (standing on two feet / running / standing on all fours), and then we could mould them and convert them into armoured and mounted versions as well.  Sizewise, a bear stood up on it's hind legs is probably around 10 feet tall, so in our scale would be something in the 18-20mm tall region.  On all fours they would be 10mm or so to the ridge of the back.

Doing whom - Goldilocks?

Apologies for the threadomancy, but is there any news on these? I'd love to see these make the cut!

No news unfortunately, we've had too much on in other ranges to get them sculpted.  We are working on some other Fantasy bits and bobs, so we might try and add them into that next year.

Since Pendraken don't currently do them I'll risk being spoken to severely next time I meet Leon and say that I got a couple of packs of bears and wolves from Bend Sinister which I thought were rather nice

Oooo, below the belt, ref! Public warning there!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Just rewatched the Goldern Compass.

Bears please!
Polar, with stinking great armour!

[toxicpixie]

Very much needed Great idea!

Though Magister M's Dwarves on bears are nice...

[Dunnadd]

I don't condemn other people for liking dwarves riding bears, but i don't hold with them myself. Dwarf and "cavalry" just seem like they don't mix for me. And what would Beorn have done if some dwarf had tried to ride him like a horse? Slapped him up the side of the head at the least.*


* = not Giant Eyebrows Beorn from Peter F****** Jackson's film in which he actually manages to f*** up the Battle of the Five Armies and make most of it a combination of tedious and impossible to suspend disbelief on at the same time, but the real Beorn

You wouldn't ride a shape changing beat, every time it transformed your saddle would fall off!

Horses are for wimps, so dwarves on bears is perfect sense. Or possibly giant wolverines. Not great for lighter cavalry though, which is where the war goats come in.

hear, hear

[Luddite]

Apparently dwarves ride pigs?

Anyway, fantasy bears would be very useful thank you.  Were-bears too.  And were-wolves.

[fsn]

And people say I'm bonkers.

[toxicpixie]

Pigs?! That's Orcs! Goes with the matching noses.

Bears all the way. And goats. Or sheep. Not totally sure, and as I have to paint the eyes on myself they might be either.
