On the bottom of this grizzly bear’s right rear
paw is a pair of initials: JB, for Joanna Brunson, a
dedicated HK fan. She also gets a “Hello”
and a smile on the inside of the lid. On the interior
is a stuffed toy zebra named “EB,” who belongs
to Peter’s son Sam. On the branch is inscribed
35mph – the top speed a grizzly can reach when
running (say, while chasing an ice cream van). -4 is
the temperature inside Pete’s studio first thing
in the morning. 30 stands for how long bears can live
and 1500 lbs is the weight the largest ones may reach.
The initials PC can be found carved under the left arm.
The mouse shows his bravery by appearing between the
vine and the bear’s foot. Fixed edition of 2500
Version One and 2500 Version Two worldwide. The grizzly
bear dons a WWI style helmet for the Version Two. 200
Version One "Trouble Bruin" are black in color.
