Insights

A magazine gift with regional distribution, Polar Bear (11974) is a Creator animal micro that retired from promotional circulation and is likely to see only modest interest, since wide regional supply, common parts and no unique figures or molds combine with frequent Creator remakes to limit long-term upside.

Set Facts

The set contains several bracket elements in black, tan, and white, including 1x1, 1x2-1x2, and 1x2-2x2 sizes.
There are multiple curved and sloped parts such as Slope 30 1x1x2/3 and Curved Slopes 2x1x2/3 and 2x2x2/3 in black, light bluish gray, and white.
The parts list includes printed white round tiles depicting a squinting eye pattern, as well as a variety of Technic components and modified plates with ball and socket connections.
