About this project

Welcome to the twisted world of the Autopsy Bears.

We have developed a plush toy we lovingly call Anguish, the first Autopsy Bear.  After several years of product research and development we are ready to launch our first official bear into the market.

Anguish is a 16" tall plush bear, with custom "X" eyes, and the trademark bloody paw on his right hand, but as we say so often around the Autopsy Bear circle, "It's what's on the inside that counts!"  Each cuddly bear has a velcro closure in its chest that when opened reveals a blood red chest cavity with printed spine and ribs, and inside this chest cavity is a heart, lungs, liver, stomach, and of course a little teddy bear soul. We will have a suggested retail price of $39.99 when we release the final run.

We have gone through the prototype phase, and have a manufacturer lined up ready to produce the bears, and are looking for sponsors with a sense of the macabre and a dark sense of humor to fund the first run.

In our rewards areas we list the Gutter's Club fan club package, which will be offered up at $20.00. Our Bloody Paws have been selling for $5.00 at trade shows.

We decided on a 16" bear to match the common collector bears, giving Autopsy Bears owners the ability to take their beastly bear to those bear building stores in many malls to dress them in any manner of styles.  We have plans of several Autopsy Bears fashion lines in the future as well.

Check out our deviant art web site listed below to see a lot of prototype images and concept artwork, and drop us question here and we'll be happy to fill you in on anything any everything you could ever want to know about the Autopsy Bears world.
