The first batch of collectible figurines, which deliberately adorned an icon of innocence (the teddy bear) with "the less savory aspects of humanity," were released in 1999 by Piranha Studios.These unique figurines quickly became a global phenomenon, appealing to collectors who appreciated their tongue-in-cheek humor, innuendo, and shock value.This Snake Skin design belongs to the popular, now-retired, original series. Many of these older figurines, especially those from the Piranha Studios or early OddCo era (pre-2015), are now considered retired and are increasingly sought after by collectors worldwide, making this a valuable addition to any collection. The "WARNING CONTENTS MAY OFFEND" label signifies the core, mischievous spirit of the brand.

Box: Comes with its original brown cardboard box, complete with the "AC/DC" label and inner protective foam inserts. The box shows minor signs of storage wear but is structurally sound. Note: As labeled on the box, this is NOT A TOY; it is a collectable item.Historical BackgroundThe Bad Taste Bears series, created by Peter Underhill and produced by Piranha Studios, gained notoriety in the early 2000s for their satirical and often deliberately offensive humor. By subverting the wholesome image of the teddy bear and placing them in controversial or adult scenarios, the collection became a sought-after cult favorite among collectors who appreciate dark comedy.The "AC/DC" bears, released in 2004, are one of the most clever and amusing pieces in the collection. The design is a brilliant double-entendre, referencing the legendary rock band's name while also playfully suggesting a very intimate connection between the two bears using the electric plug and socket motif. Due to their two-part nature and the explicit visual pun, this duo is highly desirable and is considered a core piece for any serious collector of the series.This is a rare opportunity to acquire the complete "AC/DC" set in fantastic condition with its original packaging. Don't miss out!]]>
