FURBY GUIDE UNDER THE CUT

This bear has had a grip on my psyche for almost a month now

I did a Wikipedia deep dive once, so that's how I came to know about Were Bears. Since I thought they were very me-core, I decided to reblog some posts featuring them. I even made a post of my own to inform more people about them, so here it is!

Why does Growler have a blue hat in the comics, but his actual toy DOESN'T? I don't know why, but I guess they wanted him to look a tad bit cooler.

Speaking of Growler, there's also this collector's edition plush of him. Not only does he howl, his eyes even GLOW as well. This iteration of Growler also has that blue cap on his normal face, so looks like it's officially made its way onto one of the toys!

There's also collector's edition versions of Grizzler, Fang, and Howler, but I'm not sure if poor Gums had one.

Speaking of Gums, why is he blue on this comic book cover, but his actual plush's fur color is PURPLE? Looks like he'll get confused with Howler, the actual blue one of the group.

I found these on the Were Bears' official website using the Wayback Machine. Grizzler's wearing a completely different shirt, and Gums is missing his cap. There's also a CGI Were Bears trailer on YouTube if you wanna watch it.

I found an image of this female Were Bear in the group, and I don't even know what her name is. I don't think she had a plush, either.

There was a Were Bears ripoff in 1991 called Beasty Bears, and it's pure plagiarism at its finest. HOW DID THEY NOT GET SUED???

They even stole three of their names, with the exception of Snarly.

Last of all, they might've been an early predecessor to Feisty Pets because of the whole "cute-to-creepy" mechanic.

1. I think the reason he didn't have the hat in the toy was because he had that badge instead, which is something he DOESN'T have in the comics.

2. Gums' fur actually IS dark blue in the plush toy. However, some lighting actually makes it look purple.

3. The female werebear that hadn't been released is named Wendy! I found it on the official Instagram and the official Facebook page.

4. The beasty bears actually AREN'T knockoffs. They're the US versions of the bears. They renamed them the beasty bears because it would get too mixed up with Care Bears. (Again learned this on the official Instagram)

THE COMIC ACTUALLY SHOWS WHY GROWLER DOESN'T HAVE A HAT IN THE TOY VERSION!

Do you want one of your own little dragons like these? Well I finally made a pattern for them! It's not the prettiest or most well-written pattern in the world but it will get the job done. Find it here!

This pattern is totally free but if you would like to send a few dollars my way, it would mean a lot if you supported my local zine project!! Ko-fi here.

I used a different granny square pattern though:

BEHOLD

rainbow croak army

there is a black one that looks like an orca and one color of leather bag

An amazingly accurate G3 Fashion Styling size Rarity fakie found on 1688.com! Not only is bootleg Rarity very close to her genuine self (albeit with less hair colors), but they even replicated her accessories! (See genuine version on the right.)

They did give her hooves, though.
