Own this incredibly rare and hilariously suggestive twopiece set, the "AC/DC" figurines, from the notorious Bad Taste Bears collection! This set includes two separate bear figurines: a female bear with a pink bow and a power socket on her abdomen, and a male bear holding a plug connected to his abdomen by a short cord.
The pair is designed to sit next to each other, creating an immediately recognizable and cheeky visual pun on the famous band name and human connection. This is a musthave for serious Bad Taste Bears collectors and anyone who enjoys witty, subversive humor.

Historical Background
The 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!
