Historic Background & Collectibility

The Bad Taste Bears series, created by Peter Underhill, is a notorious line of collectible figurines established in the late 1990s. They are famed for their intentionally vulgar, irreverent, and often controversial humor, parodying popular culture and everyday life.

The "Marilyn" bear is one of the more famous and soughtafter pieces in the collection due to its direct and cheeky reference to the legendary cultural icon. The explicit design is characteristic of the series and makes it a musthave for any serious collector of boundarypushing art or novelty figurines.

• Note: The box mentions the possibility of a Golden Marilyn variant, which the company offered to buy back for cash. This listing is for the standard color version.

Don't miss out on this classic piece of controversial collectible art! Ships fast and securely protected in its original box and styrofoam.

Perfect for:

• Bad Taste Bears Collectors

• Marilyn Monroe fans with a sense of humor

• Anyone looking for a unique, conversationstarting novelty item!
