iBTBdb - The Internet Bad Taste Bears Database - Mini Ranges Collectors Edition Sets

Brought to you by Mike's

These sets were released in quantities of 500 containing the Bear of the Month, its Golden Shower variation and in the case of the earlier releases a whiteware version and an accompanying sketch. Until 2008 the figurines in these sets each contained individually numbered discs - often in distracting locations on the bear. The packaging also went through a few iterations - first in a deluxe display black box (which unfortunately was prone to breaking), which was replaced by a more practical double sized brown box, and then in 2008 by a large clear acetage box, before this range was finally discontinued in September 2008 in favour of the Twin Sets concept.
