I know Der Altefritz used some to game with his kids and posted pictures but I can't remember if they were 15's or 25/28's. I'm thinking to the larger size. |

I believe they were made by Eureka, in 28mm, but are no longer available. |

Hello all,
The range was sold some years ago, with the new owner intending to re-release and add to the range. So far nothing has happened and I have lost touch with the new owner.
I have made a range of Teddy bears in 15mm for the ACW that are available through Slave 2 Games.
The contract of sale of the 25mm range does not preclude me making another range, and Drew (S2G) and I have discussed this at length. So if there is enough interest that could happen. Mike |

Try a kickstarter and see what happens. You might be pleasantly surprised. |
| Mike Broadbent | 07 Apr 2021 6:13 a.m. PST |
Kickstarters are hard work to administer neither Drew or I have the time to oversee a kickstarter. I don't need pre-funding, I just need to know that the product is desired by the gaming community and is worth investing some time and effort in. If anyone who is interested in me making a new range could contact Drew at S2G, we can go from there. Thank you all for your input so far. Keep it coming. Mike |

I don't understand why someone would buy a figure range and then take it out of the public retail market. I'm flabbergasted by this story. |

Mike, I, for one, would definitely appreciate more Seven Years Picnic bears. Hussars, especially would be nice, but I'm running out of infantry as well. Fritz, it has happened before. A lot of us are still waiting for the promised return of the Hinton Hunt figures. |

The Guy who bought the range has a pretty high-octane job with the UN. His plans for retirement didn't come to fruition as he had hoped. Mike |

I know this may be a dead-thread now, but in case anyone is still looking…. My daughter saw me painting my miniatures, she decided she needed her own. I searched and searched for Eureka Bears but couldn't find any at a price that I would feel good about a 4 year old playing with. Already having a 3D printer and some amateurish skills, I decided to make my own. The process is shown at compactwargaming.blogspot.com. I am not set-up to do mass production of these, but could probably handle a few orders at a time. |
