SECRET MEET WITH PETE

Hi Guys!
Sorry you didn't here from me yesterday. I was off having a 'creative brainstorm' with Peter Underhill, creator of the Bad Taste Bears. We've enjoyed laughs, pleasent chats, beef sandwiches, crisps dipped in tomato ketchup and we also did some work too?! Got some great ideas coming up for later on this year! You should SEE the amount of sketches Peter has in his 5 full files and portfolio!? HUGE! And very funny, if a bit rude.

Any guesses as to where the secret location was?

SEVEN DEADLY SINS - PRIDE

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This was a great idea from Pete and the execution in the sculpting and painting is terrific! Pete suggested that we added a dressing gown to help balance the piece (as you can see, she was a bit top heavy) and I think it works really well!

Well done again fellas! The 7DS range is shaping up to be a real beaut.

BOGIES THAT NEVER MADE IT...

These have been sitting in the fridge for over a year now and so I thought I'd give them a little airing and show them to my pals on Blogger.

These characters made it to the sculpting stage but unfortunately not to full manufacture...
My fave it the 'wiped stripes' who look like amber covered Jurassic Park insects.

















CYBOGIE

















SQUIRT BOGAIN

















COUNT HACKULA

THE WIPED STRIPES

PINCH AND TWIST

Alright Bloggers?
Don't forget to get online tonight at 6.30pm and catch your very own Limited Edition Pinch and Twist figures, limited to 1100 worldwide. A 'steal' at only £28!

Also, the below Limited Edition 'SilverScreen' Pinch and Twist becomes available on Tuesday at the same time, however this is only available as an ultra limited 100 pieces?! Chances are this bad boy will sell out VERY quickly, so make sure you are online nice and early if you want one!

APOLLO NUMBER 2!!

UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS.
New Buy Back figurines coming your way this Spring.

Poor Apollo just couldn't hold it in anymore!? And when you've gotta go, you've gotta go... Do bears s**t on the moon?

Further to the Birmingham NEC 'launch' last week, some BTB collectors may have already seen sneeky peaks of Apollo on the BTB forums?

Well here he is in all his stinking glory! With red variation of only 100 and black variation of just 5, we will 'buy back' your Apollo figurine if you find a rare variation in sealed packs of Apollo....

Apollo will be launching in March.

16" Nick Limited to just 300 worldwide!







Nick really can be credited as the "original" Bad Taste Bear! Most of you will know the story...

Late one night in 1994, Peter Underhill was designing a range of cutesy bears to be printed onto little girls pyjamas. To clear his head after becoming 'all cuted out' he doodled a "Hey Kiddies! Here's the chainsaw bear!" Though he did not know it at the time, this was the birth of the Bad Taste Bears...



So, with such a significant place in BTB history it's only fitting that Nick is honoured with a limited edition 16" statue! There are just 300 of these pieces worldwide, each with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.

The giant Nick will be released on the Online Store on Thursday 11th February at 6:30pm for £100 (+p&p). Please note that we can only offer this item for delivery in the UK. On ordering you will have 2 payment options:

• Pay in full
OR
• Pay half as a deposit, with the balance payment taken on 2nd March

Deposits will be completely non-refundable. The balance payment will be taken automatically.

Stock is then due to be dispatched in early March when it will also be available at selected UK and overseas retailers. Please contact your local stockist for availability.

WELOVEODD

Hey Guys!
The new OddCo store www.weloveodd.com will be up and running tomorrow 4TH Feb!!! UPDATED


Rather than host 2 or 3 different stores for Weenicons, Popmash and Teeny Demons, we will now run one 'mother ship' store of which you can purchase all our products. Bad Taste Bears and Bogies will continue to run through their own stores at this stage.

As an exciting launch to the new store, Limited Edition 'Slimed' Whoyagonnacall Weenicon will go on sale tomorrow at 6.30pm GMT. There will only be 50 available on the site, so make sure to grab yours while you can. Limited quantities will also be available through selected retailers later on in Feb. We'll keep you posted as to who these retailers are.
