BV 4110 - Allmark Yogi Bear (Mr A & Mrs P Barr)
Initial findings were sadly, longer bodies and lack of overall balance to size and shape. Short legs. Heads varied and some were not well muscled and so close on the rear actions, fronts on some were all over the place. These should be able to work and jump on and off a moving truck with sustained energy and be fit for function but not my main winners etc.
