Nisbet Endangered Species Bears
To quote from the catalogue, 1985, (page 27) :
"This is the beginning of a new series of bears from Nisbet. The title, "Endangered Species", is a humorous play on words, because the bears actually depict "human types" who, in this modern world, are in danger of extinction"
The full set of 5 characters were :
5133 | Chimney Sweep Bear |
5134 | Doctor Bear |
5135 | Artist Bear |
