Figurine Funko POP! Movies No. 2054 - Wicked / Care Bears - Grumpy Bear as Wicked Tin Man (Gromalabar as the Tin Man)
This vinyl figure features an original cross-licence, merging the Grumpy Bear (Gromalabar) character from the Care Bears universe with the appearance of the Tin Man from the Wicked musical and film universe.
The model incorporates the stylistic features of the Funko POP! range, combining an oversized head with a smaller body. The grumpy blue teddy bear is shown dressed in the full silver-grey metallic armour of the iron character, complete with his small upside-down funnel hat on top of his head. The statuette shows him standing in a stable posture, capturing his characteristic sulky facial expression.
Designed primarily for display on shelves, desks or in shop windows, this collector's item comes in its original cardboard window box packaging, allowing the figurine to be viewed without opening the box.

Origin and world of the character (Lore)
This figurine is part of a cross-collection celebrating the release of the film adaptation of Wicked, telling the alternate history of the Land of Oz before Dorothy's arrival. For the occasion, the famous Care Bears created in the 1980s are dressed up as characters from this reinvented fairytale. Grumpy Bear (known as Gromalabar in the French version), the grumpy blue bear recognisable by the rain cloud badge on his belly, adopts the armour of the Tin Man. This legendary character is condemned to search for a heart through a retelling of the witches Elphaba and Glinda. This unusual visual alliance combines the tender nostalgia of the teddy bears with the theatrical magic of the Oz saga.
