A collection of ten plush toys and accessories from the Bad Taste Bears series designed by Peter Underhill. The lot comprises various anthropomorphic bears with subversive themes, including two large figures dressed as a nurse and a character in a bikini top with a brown jacket. Medium-sized plush bears feature diverse costumes and accessories such as a vampire cape, a surgical mask, and a cigarette. One bear is depicted with a white sheep. The items are primarily constructed from light brown synthetic plush fur with plastic safety eyes and noses. Most pieces retain their original black card swing tags which feature a circular logo of a bear covering its mouth and the printed text Bad Taste Bears and Created by Peter Underhill © 2003. Included is a small red devil-themed bear figurine housed within its original plastic blister pack, with a header card reading Bad Taste Bears KEYCHAIN. One plush bear remains sealed in its original clear plastic packaging.
