First created in 2022, The Average Bears is a collection of 302 character artworks built from Heather Doucette’s original hand-drawn traits. Different bodies, expressions, colors, clothing, and accessories combine to give every bear a personality of its own.
Now returning in 2026, the collection celebrates everyday moods, small adventures, and the wonderfully ordinary qualities that make each of us unique. Each bear is a piece of the collection’s original history on Polygon—preserved onchain and ready to begin a new chapter.

The Average Bears is an original collection of 302 character artworks created by artist and designer Heather Doucette. Each bear combines hand-drawn bodies, expressions, colors, clothing, and accessories to create a distinct personality. The collection was first released on Polygon in 2022.
The original collection contains 302 unique Average Bears. Any future artwork or companion collections will be clearly identified and will not be presented as part of the original 302-piece collection.
The Average Bears is on Polygon, an Ethereum-compatible blockchain designed to support faster and generally lower-cost transactions. A compatible digital wallet is required to purchase and hold an Average Bear.
You receive ownership of the NFT associated with that specific artwork. The token is held in your digital wallet and its ownership history is recorded on Polygon. No physical product is included unless a particular listing explicitly states otherwise.
Ownership includes the right to display the associated artwork for personal, noncommercial purposes. Copyright and commercial reproduction rights remain with Heather Doucette unless a separate written license is provided.
Official Average Bears are available only through the verified OpenSea collection linked from Heather Doucette’s official website and social accounts. Always confirm that you are viewing the correct collection before connecting a wallet or approving a transaction.
Never share your wallet recovery phrase or private key. Heather Doucette and OpenSea will never ask for either. Avoid purchase links sent through unsolicited messages, confirm the website address before connecting your wallet, and carefully review every transaction before approving it.
Average Bears are digital artworks and collectibles, not promises of profit or financial returns. NFT prices and demand can change significantly, so collectors should purchase only because they value the artwork and understand the risks of digital assets.
