Item Details:

• Design: This listing is for the vintage 2003 "Guy" figurine. The sculpt brilliantly captures a poor teddy bear in a very explosive predicament. With his fur standing on end from shock and a wincing expression, 'Guy' is holding a lit firework that looks ready to pop!

• Artistry: The hand-painted details are superb, from the singed-looking tips of his fur to the grimace on his face, perfectly embodying the brand's signature dark sense of humour.

• Collectible: A true classic from the golden age of Bad Taste Bears, this is a must-have for any serious collector.

The Story & Historical Context:

Released in 2003, "Guy" is a direct and hilarious parody of Guy Fawkes Night (or Bonfire Night), a traditional British commemoration held annually on November 5th. The tradition involves lighting bonfires and setting off fireworks to mark the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Effigies known as "guys" are often burned on the bonfire. This poor bear is the ultimate 'guy,' finding himself a little too close to the action! This figurine is a prime example of the brand's genius for twisting cultural traditions into comedy gold.
