Hahaha, I no sooner get yesterday’s post up today and Breyer kicks out the fruit leather reveal:
Bear cubs disguised as gummy bears! I have to hand it to Breyer, they did a great job with the Sneak Peek Rectangle. Everyone was guessing the obvious- textured coat equals Misty, and golly were we ever off track, but delightfully so. A nod to gummy bears, these cubs are not only vibrant, but apparently they will be scented to accompany the candy cub theme:
Hmmm, not sure what to think about the scented part. I admit it is a cute idea, but I have questions. I know nothing about scented plastic, but I’m wondering how long the scent will last, how strong it will be, will the scent degrade over time from a candy scent to a toxic waste dump with extra stinky fish scent, to the plastic itself degrading as the scent molecules deteriorate, etc. Of course, none of that will deter me from getting the candy cub set. This SR set will be in “stunning, custom packaging” according to Breyer, priced at $60, and is a run of 1,600 sets (three bears per set, one of each color).
