Beasty Bears

Werebears had been a successful toyline in the UK during the 1980s and moving into the 90s so Hasbro Toys in the USA decided to sub license the concept and re-brand it Beasty Bears for the American market.
The Beast Bears had slightly more simplified designs compared to the UK counterparts that all had unique features from each other. One Werebear had just one fang, one had no teeth and another wore a jumper. The Beasty Bears however all shared the same basic design, the only difference between them being the color scheme. All but one reused the names from the Werebears. Howler, Grizzler and Fang. Gums as a name would not make sense for a bear that still had all it's fangs so instead the final Beasty Bear was called Snarly.
