Vintage 1986 Schylling Ernest The Balancing Bear Toy – Original Box

Fun vintage Ernest “The Balancing Bear” novelty toy by Schylling Associates, dating to 1986.

Ernest is designed to ride along a tightrope-style string on his unicycle while balancing. The original colourful box, bear figure, unicycle mechanism and string setup are included.

Important: the balancing stick/accessory is missing, so the toy is being sold as an incomplete vintage collectible rather than a complete working set.
