Digger Bear™ - DPDU (He's in Desert Camouflage!!)
Limited Edition - 5000 Bears only Digger Bear™ - DPDU is a new release for 2008, and was designed and developed following requests from numerous members of the Australian Defence Force, to create a bear wearing the current desert uniform.
"Digger Bear™ - DPDU" (the initials DPDU means Disruptive Pattern Desert Uniform) is a lusciously soft golden coloured bear with hinged limbs, and overall he measuring approx. 39cm. He is dressed in desert camouflage uniform, with desert hat, and has been manufactured to our usual high standards. Again, as indicative of our other bears, the ear-tag he wears summarises the theme of the bear - our Defence Personnel.

Australia’s multi-skilled personnel are the envy of other nations and are among the first requested for service due to their well-documented reputation for skill, adaptability and no nonsense attitude. Their ability to engender trust and confidence from the civilian population also assists in the remarkable success rate of Australian Defence Force operations. The Australian population are justly proud of their Defence Forces and their achievements, and regard them as effective ambassadors and representatives displaying the best Australian traditions of courage mateship and fair play DPDU Disruptive Pattern Desert Uniform (DPDU) was designed and adapted for use by Australian troops serving in fields of operation such as Afghanistan and Iraq, where the modified colours of this clothing more closely resemble the desert terrain colours. The original design was initially issued to SAS troops deployed to Afghanistan, but has been the subject of ongoing colour modification dependant on the terrain. This uniform with its colour combinations of brown, grey, pale blue and purple on a yellow background is current issue to ADF personnel serving in desert regions overseas. |
