Hero the Bear Usa Flag on Arm

Hero the Bear's USA version wears its American flag patch stitched to the arm, the plain orientation rather than reversed. That placement is the way to separate this Hero from the other two USA versions made under style 40012, one with the flag on the arm but mirrored, and one with it moved to the chest.

USA Hero belongs to a family of five: a British Hero under style 40013, an Australian Hero under style 40014, and three USA versions under 40012, all saluting people who serve in the armed forces.

Ty gave the whole USA line to charity. All of the profit from an original purchase went to the USO, and in 2004 Hero rode along with the Cody Banks 2 movie premiere, packaged with a special Cody Banks swing tag.
