My father likes to hit yard sales/actions and recently bought me a large box of character pans. Some I'm keeping and others I'm going to sell on Ebay, but need help determining who this bear is. Looks somewhat like a Care Bear, but certain features lead me to believe otherwise. Anyone know who this little guy is?
Also wonder if anyone has sold pans on Ebay and wondering what they should sell for. Selling 4 in total. Pink Panther, Teddy Bear, Power Ranger, and this unidentified little fellow. Unfortunately, they're all missing their instructions, but I plan to refer people here for them... assuming they're all on this site.

Sorry if this is HUGE... not sure how to resize. icon_wink.gif

Many of the Wilton pans have a number on them. If yours does, you can use that number to search for the instructions on the Wilton site.

I'm not 100% positive but it looks like a Popple. Popples were from and old cartoon in the 80's. Check out www.popples.org there seems to quite a group of people who colelct Popple related stuff.

editted to add - yep it is for sure a Popple the website that I linked to shows a picture of that exact pan.

I believe Fishercakes is right...I think its the popple pan circa 1985. Here's the think to the one I found on ebay...

Great! Thanks everyone. I'd never heard of a Popple, but that's definitely what I have here. icon_smile.gif

If the pan still has the number on the inside you can email or write to wilton and give them the number and they will send you the directions.I had to do this for a Holly Hobbie pan I found at the flea market for $1.00. I haven't made it yet but I got the complete decorating sheet for it. Good Luck
