WICKED CARE BEARS - POP N°2055 - Tenderheart Bear as the Cowardly Lion

This vinyl figure features an original cross-licence, merging the character of Tenderheart Bear (Toucalin) from the Care Bears universe with the appearance of The Cowardly Lion from the world of the fairytale film Wicked.

The model incorporates the stylistic features of the Funko POP! range, combining an oversized head with a smaller body. The big-hearted brown teddy bear is shown dressed in a plush lion suit, complete with a voluminous mane sculpted around his head and a small medal of courage hanging from his neck. The statuette shows him standing in a stable posture, capturing a gentle and slightly shy facial expression.

Designed primarily for display on a shelf, desk or in a showcase, this collector's item comes in its original cardboard window box packaging, allowing the figurine to be viewed without opening the box.

This figure is part of a crossover collection developed to coincide with the big-screen release of the musical film Wicked, which explores the origins of the Witches of Oz. At the heart of this series, the Care Bears dress up as the protagonists of this fantastic tale. Tenderheart Bear (known as Toucalin in the French version), the benevolent leader with a red heart drawn on his belly, takes on the costume of the Poltroned Lion. This emblematic character from Oz mythology seeks to overcome his fears in order to acquire true courage. This alliance captures the tenderness of the 1980s licence at the heart of the wonderful world of Elphaba and Glinda.
