SNEAKY 2010 LEAK (SPOILER)

Hey Guys!
Below is a sneaky peek at some of the new bears due for launch in 2010. Don't look down if you don't want to spoil the suprise and are happy to wait until the new year.















Hehe. Fooled You! Well that's not strickly true...

Below is an image of some of the melted down wax models that our sculptors have been working on for 2010.

When they have finished casting the wax model, the wax is then melted down in order to re-cycle and make new figurines.

So... can anyone guess what we've been sculpting? Looks like something out of John Capenters 'The Thing' at the moment!? Hehe

Merry '3 weeks until' Xmas

DOLLY MIXTURES


THE MISSING PORN STARS....

Back in 2005 when PGU showed us the 1st images of 'The Pornstar Bears,' we were absolutely blown away. Very controversial and hugely amusing, Bad Taste Bears went straight to work on sculpting and packaging and had some great brainstorming sessions coming up with the names...

They were launched at the Spring Fair in our 1st ever 'peep show' and were deamed as some of the most serious XXX products we'd ever made! A few complaints came over from the guys on the TY stand opposite us too. Ooops.

One of the original Underhill images that we sculpted, that never made it into production was the 'Dolly Mixture' figurine...

As funny as these Dollies are, they were not launched due to the fact that there was no bear to be seen in the set. And although we love them dearly it was thought that BTB customers would not want to own a set that just contained dollies.

After sitting for many a long year on the shelf with only each other for company we have decided to set these ladies free to join the other Teddie and Dollies in the home of a Bad Taste Bears collector.

If you think you will be able to offer a good home to them visit our eBay store now.

CULT MOVIES


Hey Guys! Hope you all had a spooktacular Halloween...
Check out this image of the brand new Movie Bear additions coming this November (just in time for Christmas please Santa...)

Noticed some of the leaked images online were a bit sketchy, so I thought I'd add this little group shot into the mix.

My fave is probably the Marsh Mallow bear, but then GB is one of my favourite Movies of all time.

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN!!!

Hey Guys! Just wanted to wish all you trick r' treaters a Happy Halloween!

If you don't already know, my absolute FAVOURITE BTB's of all time are the Monster Bears. That's why I'm totally chuffed to see these fab Mini-Monster sets come to life and hopefully go to a great home through the wonders of BTBEbay...

If you didn't already know, these dinky critters stand at approx 6.5 cm and were originally sculpted to be made as keyrings. However, plans were changed and these designs will now never be released at this size.

There are a total of 3 sets of the original Micro Monster prototypes, each with a different finish:

Silverscreen Monochrome

Halloween Glow in the Dark
Classic Originals

My favourites out of these are the Silver Screen versions (especially Dracula) and although they look pretty good on EBay, I just wanted to give you more of a close up look....

I'm going to be very jealous of the person who manages to pick up this set!!


Check them and the other two sets out on Ebay here...

Music Legends Treasure Hunt *UPDATED*

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW ENDED. CONGRATS TO THE WINNER!!!

OddCo and Peter Underhill are delighted to announce our brand new mini-series of Bad Taste Bears, the Music Legends which will be launched later this month. In order to mark this extra special occasion we are be holding an internet treasure hunt between 4th and 7th September.

This weekend 7 photos of the Music Legends will be hidden within the pages of certain BTB related websites. You guys must do a little detective work and scour the internet looking for these magnificent 7 images, each of which will display the Music Legends Logo. As these will be hidden on various BTB related corners of the internet it's up to you to sniff them out.

The 7 images will not all appear at once so you may have to return to certain places that you think they may appear at regular occasions...Well, we didn't want to make this TOO easy!

Once you've collected all 7 images of the Music Legends, you must then upload them all onto the(Members Only) competitions section of the BTB forum (there is a limit of 4 images per post so you may need to make 2 consecutive posts). The first person to do this will win the first two Music bears absolutely FREE!

Go on then, we'll be nice and give you the first to get going with.....



Good luck to you all and enjoy your hunt!

ONE FOR THE TWI-HARDS

We were recently asked for a Twilight Edward bear by our good colleagues in Australia... Apparently Twilight is pretty big news at the moment? Duh? Actually, I must confess to having read the Twilight books... Does that make me a teenage girl?

Anyway, Pete has kindly obliged and here are the results. What do the Twilight (Twi-hards) fans think? Has Pete nailed Robert Patterns simmering, solemn, sexy, stare? GO TEAM EDWARD!!!

Details of launch date and price are to be released later on this year...
