'Kylie' Bad Taste Bear in Production

At the end of last year I wrote a blog about how a 'Kylie' Bad Taste Bear should be produced. After entering (and losing) a competition where I designed the bear, I ask Pete to draw me a proper Kylie sketch, which he did and I love.

At the time, there was a chance that the bear could go into production after receiving positive reviews from the Company.

A month or so back, a poll was done on the BTB forum to get peoples views on the sketch and it received an very positive response (phew!!!). This then built my hopes up that it may just go into production.

I had a look at the Bad Taste Bears Blog today and found out that the Kylie bear is in production and is due to be released as part of a music mini-range. The blog also contained pictures of the bear in production:

It appears that the name for the bear is going to be Charlene after her Neighbours character.

Let's just say, I am a little bit pleased. Now I can't wait for it to be released so I can buy a couple.

UPDATE: 25 June 2009
I completed version of the Charlene bear has been added to the BTB Blog and I have to say it's one of the best they have released. But I would say that wouldn't I?

If interested the Bad Taste Bears blog, Behind the Scenes; has done 3 blogs about how a bear is born. You can see them here.
