The Victor and Victoria series was issued between 1997 and 2008 and show different situations in the life of the teddy couple Victor and Victoria. The series was very popular for its cute representation of the bear couple. Below you will find a sample from the series.
The Victor figurine from 2002 shows Victor as the proud father readying to take a picture of Victoria and little Theodor. He has the camera ready to take just the right picture.
Victoria poses for the photografer with little Theodor in her arms. She is wearing her beautiful flowered hat and Theodor look inquisitively at all the things going on around him.
Victor waves his hands in the air and says goodbye to his friends on their way out traveling. He is in relaxed clothes with his sleeves rolled up in the warm spring air.
Victoria, too, is out waving goodbye. She waves with her fine handkerchief, which she uses to wipe away the tears from her eyes. When will they meet again?

Emma has her flippers on, but has yet to entered the water. She has found a friend in a little turtle that happily greets her. She has also brought her teddy bear and has collected sea urchins and starfish.

This cute little baby seal is the motif of the mother's day figurine 2001. This little seal is quite adorable as it lies there looking longingly into the distance in search of its mother.
In Australia you also find mother's day themes. Here we have a small kangaroo looking for its mother in the outback. He probably misses the safety of the pouch, now that he is out in the wide world.

This cute bear happily plays in the fresh grass and bites its foot that probably itches. It is happy to have left hibernation and to finally stretch its aching limbs after a long winter's sleep.
