Something like these would be good:

You do take a good photo Leon.

Slightly worried one of those photos is from "Ammoland"?

Try typing in10mm bears into google and you will see why. Evidently a lot of people want to know if a 10mm weapon will stop a bear. Prehaps ammoland can answer that question. 

Rather than debate the advantages and disadvantages of 10mm vs .357 Magnum they should just follow this advice:

"The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter.

They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows bears to hear them coming from a distance and not be startled by a hiker accidentally sneaking up on them. This might cause a bear to charge.

Visitors should also carry a pepper spray can just in case a bear is encountered. Spraying the pepper into the air will irritate the bear's sensitive nose and it will run away.

It is also a good idea to keep an eye out for fresh bear scat so you have an idea if bears are in the area.

People should be able to recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat.

Black bear droppings are smaller and often contain berries, leaves, and possibly bits of fur. Grizzly bear droppings tend to contain small bells and smell of pepper."


An oldy but a goody

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

Could we trade ammoland's bear for this one

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 ...

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.

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
