Any leads on where to get one in "25+" or 15 mm size?

Gracias,

Pour l'édification, sloth bear:



Fun fact: possibly a partial basis for Baloo from the original Jungle Book. :)

Sorry Glenn, sounds like a very obscure subject, and I've no idea where to find one.

Edit:  Good Heavens, thank you for the very fast effort but next time finish dinner first, please.

Sorry, that is a sloth but not a sloth bear.  Not surprising that there is confusion.

Gracias,

Glenn

Of course all the imagery gurus are arguing if this was photo-shop produced or legitimate.  Nobody is bothering to search for the image on-line... analysts...    ::)

Well if it helps, I was a bit suspicious about how very coincidental it was, and when I looked online for more photos of the same bear... ;)

On the original topic: I don't think there are very many generic bear minis out there (I know Foundry have a couple), but would it be possible to get one of those and sculpt a wee bit of extra hair on it?

Just to answer Vermis because it was something of merit...

If I could sculpt that well, yes.  But as for my sculpting skills - even worse than my painting skills.

I pretty much suspect my best bet would be to find a plastic tube set of animals that had something similiar but I am not expecting even to find that.

Gracias,

Glenn
