First and foremost these collectables are for mature audiences and are not intended for children nor are they intended to be toy’s. That is probably the most important aspect of these bears. They are not toys or for the faint hearted! The Bad Taste Bears are really a lot of fun to collect, however one does require a sense of humor. Some bears may be offensive to some people. These bears are definitely not for everyone! There is a warning on the box the bears come in that the contents may offend! Please keep this in mind when deciding if you want to check them out. These bears are produced in the United Kingdom. The creator is Peter Underhill, artist of Bad Taste Bears and ultimately the creator of a whole new aspect of bear collecting. Bad Taste Bears are a high quality collectable and are individually hand painted with awesome detail. There are different sizes from about 2.5 inches to 4.5 inches depending on the issue of the bear. Bad Taste Bears are sold worldwide and some bears are only available to certain countries. There are mainly the UK versions of the bears and the U.S. versions. Not all of the bears available to the United Kingdom are available here in the U.S. You can join the club on three different levels of membership: Free standard membership, deluxe membership, and super deluxe membership. When you join with the deluxe or super deluxe you will receive a collector club bear. You also get access to other features on the site. Also with the standard membership you get a five percent discount on all purchases from the site. With the deluxe and super deluxe you get a ten percent discount on all purchases from the site. All information about the Bad Taste Bears can be found at the Bad Taste Bears website. As with any collectables prices range depending on issue and availability of the bear. Once again, these bears are really a lot of fun to collect, if you are not offended. I can tell you from experience that these bears are highly addictive, I started with one bear and now I have over fifty of them and I plan on getting many more. Bad Taste Bears are not as popular here as they are in Europe, they are beginning to take hold here in the U.S. So that means more collectors and bears becoming more valuable. Check Them out and see for yourself. You might just find some you like. They really are a lot of fun!
