Does anyone know where I might find plastic or wooden polar bears? I've checked various stores, did online searches. eBay, Amazon and am having no luck. I only need 3 or 4 that are under 1" long or smaller. They can be standing, sitting or walking. I am not picky.
Thanks for any suggestions you all can offer. David D.

the link didn't go to the specific page. click on "pawns & other figures", then "animals" . The polar bears are on page 4.

1 inch wooden polar bear...
hmm... this is a good challenge. I think you can make a 1 inch wooden peg bear out of wooden pieces sold from Michael's the craft store. I am thinking it would take 2 pieces (1 inch round peg and a wooden plug for the head) and a little bit of green stuff to make the ears. Here is a pic of a sketch that I made:

I will try to make a "test bear" later on in the week and posting it for you.

Wooden Bear
Here is the test-bear :-)

It is not painted, but you get a good idea of what it looks like put together with a few wooden pegs. I used smaller wooden plugs for the ears instead of green stuff. You can get enough wooden pegs for all four of your (prototype) bears @ michael's for under $10.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the links guys! Unfortunately, I would prefer not to pay extra for international purchases. It's not THAT necessary I have the polar bears. I just didn't think it'd be that hard to find any.
I did however really like the German company. They offer lots of great stuff. I'll be keeping that one in mind for future necessary items. Thanks again for the help.
