I think it’s crazy the impact the fans have on them for some decisions but not others.

I have no clue. People would buy it regardless, so why not keep it and sell it?

Their new costumes don’t match the show designs anyways, so the art for those three is close enough. They didn’t even bother changing Shakers fur color. He’s still brown even though he’s only ever been gray or yellow, lmao.

Not sure if it's been shared yet but here's Romeo's autograph

I don’t why but this post is taking me out. Seriously they are removing the coin because it displays a dead attraction at DL ?

It doesn't look like any of the other bears have their profiles updated to fit the new show/designs.

I definitely think if they were to do it the show should be adjoining or part of HB to justify the name change. I also think Pooh should be Rescuers themed but that's for another discussion.

They already pulled the coin and replaced it with the old one that they had for the Hungry Bear. I just don't get how a whole design pipeline would miss such a glaring mistake. For getting them into the Hungry Bear- maybe they could expand the restaurant into some of the green space between it and Pooh? This measurement is definitely more than they'd need for just the stage (and have the restaurant seating be in place of the theater seating) but I also don't know if that green space is used for Pooh's queue. A single AA of Gomer is definitely more realistic but IDK if they'd do that, I feel like they'd do all or nothing. Or, maybe a single curtained window with Big Al.

I know, but if the coin were meant to be just for that it'd say "Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree" (which I believe the coin was replaced with one that says "Country Bear Barbecue Jamboree" after these 70th coins were pulled). This coin is a misprint and given how many eyes it had to go by before production, I doubt it was just an error- too many people would've had to misread "Country" as "Hungry", or if it were meant to be the original, overlook the "Musical" on the coin and the fact Henry is in his new design. Given all the Pooh closure rumors, I have a feeling this was potentially planned to be brought to Disneyland Resort and was either cancelled or delayed. Or, Disney just had every single person in the design and manufacturing process of this coin be the worst possible person for the job and they all collectively missed the glaring error. There's definitely room for a Grizzly Hall-sized theater in Grizzly Peak, which is all the show needs. The two-theater set up in Disneyland was a mistake that the show never recovered from- it was too much capacity for the show. A single theater, either in Grizzly Peak or Bayou Country (where Pooh is now) would fit nicely. I'd prefer Disneyland, so you'd have the Marc Davis trifecta in one park, but DCA does need more to do. But if it was put in it's former home in Disneyland, but with one theater, you could use the extra space behind it for a Galaxy's Edge expansion. I'm not sure the exact spot it could go in Grizzly Peak as I've never been and have no frame of reference on what space is used for what based on the map. The Blue Sky Wine Cellar that's closed could be used for it too, or maybe part of the Redwood Creek Trail.

Hmm. I'm thinking the coin press was a mistake. Get your coins now before they pull the machine! But it does make you wonder... Is there a way to get them into Hungry Bear? A digital- physical hybrid show? A lone AA of Gomer on stage playing for tips and taking requests?

Hungry Bear had a refurb and reflects the new show and outfits... https://www.laughingplace.com/w/disney-parks/hungry-bear-barbecue-jamboree-photos/

More bear updates- finally seeing Romeo in the park app. I shouldn’t be surprised that they didn’t update his artwork, but it feels like his design is too different to not update it. New character description though, and it ties into his original backstory from the 1972 vinyl album!

Interesting… Country Bear Musical Jamboree got a Disneyland 70th Medallion, despite not being in the park… mistake or hint?

Could be! My guess would’ve been the wine. she’s got plenty of love in the new display cabinets at least! Meanwhile the poor sun bonnets have no painting from Marc and iirc aren’t in much of the queue props
