The limited edition "Afghanistan bear" acknowledges and pays respect to the Australian involvement in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.   

The bear wears the Australian multicam pattern camouflage uniform developed for desert areas, which is representative of the clothing worn by Australian Defence Force personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan, circa 2014-2018. The bear also wears leather lace-up boots, sunglasses, and a protective helmet. A dog-tag adorns the bears neck, which is engraved with its own unique limited edition number.

 Produced to a limited edition of 100, each bear is individually numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The "Afghanistan bear" stands 42cm tall and comes in a clear presentation box.

Not suitable for children under 3 years (small removable parts).

A donation is made from the sale of each bear to Soldier On, who support Australia's physically and psychologically wounded. Founded in 2012, Soldier On work to enhance recovery, inspire communities and empower Australia's wounded, giving those who have served our country the dignity they deserve and the chance to do and be whatever they choose.

 

Measurements: 42 cm x 20cm x 20cm
