DIE TOP TEN TEDDIES (GERMAN - COMPLETE SET OF 10)
The full set of ten was only ever issued in Germany. However, a set of nine including Berti Beckenhauer without his cymbals was issued in Canada in 2001, and this same set was released Down Under in late 2002. Thanks to Anja Engeln for two different German papers, one with "®" after the series name, and one without "®" after the name. I also have an Argentine paper showing Dicke Backen Beppo and Berti Beckenhauer (latter is without his cymbals). Got this from a Kinder Surprise egg dated 6/8/03. Last but not least, I have an Argentine paper featuring seven of the Top Ten Teddies. The ones not featured are Dicke Backen Beppo, Berti Beckenhauer and Max Muntermacher (the trumpet player who is not included in the non-German set). I got this from a Kinder Surprise egg dated 6/8/03 as well. The CE mark on the back is printed in bold.

This set of sharks with a Middle Eastern theme was released in New Zealand in 1998/99. It was also issued in Australia at the same time.
