Historic & Collector's Background
The Bad Taste Bears collection was the brainchild of designer Peter Underhill, who first conceived the idea in the mid1990s as a rebellious reaction to the overly cute imagery he was tasked with drawing. 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 tongueincheek humor, innuendo, and shock value.
This Snake Skin design belongs to the popular, nowretired, original series. Many of these older figurines, especially those from the Piranha Studios or early OddCo era (pre2015), 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.
