Where are you Auxiliary Badger?

May 2, 2012 10:54 AM

Please help me find a specific small plastic badger toy.

There was an incident and someone may have lost a badger that didn't belong to them. I (a disinterested third party) really need to find an exact replacement for this small plastic badger. It's a honey badger, not European or American. The toy is a few years old and predates that "honey badger don't care" youtube video. I've scoured google and found nothing so I'm hoping someone has seen one in their local toy shop. Please help!

Could it be one of these by Schleich?

Arg, on second look, those badgers I linked don't have the stripe. I'll keep looking.

Flamingo put me onto a track that suggests it's a Playvision African Honey Badger, manufactured in 1998.

It doesn't look like it will be easy to replace, unfortunately. Judging by the threads I can find on the internet, it looks like your best bet might be trolling Ebay for them (there aren't any on there right now), or looking in thrift stores. There is also a very small chance that a nature-type museum might stock something like that, but it would be very old stock, as the company doesn't produce them anymore (the post by jhudstone, 13th post on that page, gives more detail).

A cute wooden honey badger. Sorry to hear about the lost badger.
