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 soughtafter 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 doubleentendre, 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 twopart 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!
