Hero the Bear Australia

Hero is a bear Ty made to salute the men and women who serve to establish freedom for all. Ty released him as a charity piece, and all the profit from the original sale went to the USO. This is the Australian version, one of five Hero releases alongside a British version and three separate US versions, each under its own style number.

The Australian Hero had one of the shorter runs of the group, on sale for just over two weeks between 27 May and 13 June 2003, when it retired the same day as the British version.
