If your family is anything like mine, there are those stories of when you were a little kid, or when your parents met that you hear over and over again, stories that are part of family folklore that become famous and alot of them as you as you start to hear them you want to block your ears, you've heard them so many times.
One such story ( tho I like this one) is when I was 4 and was in the park with my mum, a lady asked me " what's your name and how old are you"
I answered very adamantly " Derek Wildstar and I'm 17".
For those of you who don't know who Derek Wildstar is , (which i'm assuming is all of you as my entire adult life i have not met someone who does) Derek Wildstar was the main character in a Japanese Anime series Star Blazers that i was obsessed with. For a while i actually began to believe Derek Wildstar was a figment of my imagination, because no one had ever heard of him, but then good old google proved that I had created this character out of thin air.
Derek Wildstar became one of my nicknames, that and Derek the Dwaddler as I was known to trail behind the others on family walks, off in my own world.
When I was making and then finished this little bear, he struck me as a Derek, and a bit of Wildstar at that. A bit cheeky, a bit innocent , a real "boy bear " if you know what I mean.
PS If there is anyone out there who like me was obsessed with Derek Wildstar as a child, please come forward, or who has even heard of him.

He's a stunner, Jess...or should I say,'Derek'?
Sorry Jess, I hadn't heard of him, but I think this Derek is divine! :) Kx
p.s. loving his furry chest too!
Nope... never heard of him. But I'm loving your derek.
I know a four year old who would answer a question just a passionately... makes me smile :)
He really is such a 'boy bear', very sweet & cheeky too! I love that story..
He is *lovely*. And although the name 'Derek Wildstar' rings no bells, I was totally into Star Blazers. Loved watching it when I got home from school. I remember the theme tune and everything!
Searching off for Iscandar!? Evil men with evil schemes, they won't destroy all our dreams. Our Star Blazers...
Or something like that ;)
Your bears are ace!

Sorry, Jess. I have failed you. WHO IN THE BLEEDIN' HECK IS THIS WILDSTAR FELLOW??? If it's any consolation, I did watch almost the entire Grand Final (luckily missed the Meatloaf bizzo) and actually LIKED footy for almost the whole game.
PS. He is such a sweetheart (the bear, not Meatloaf).
Never heard of him, but the bear is adorable!
Great name for this beautiful boy bear, that face just oozes personality just like his namesake, Jess... *cough* I mean Derek Wildstar.
ps. Sorry can't shed any light on Derek but I did meet Buzz Lightyear at my littlests kidney. A fine moment it was too! : D
