What a waste.

They need a street sweeper, not "volunteers".

Me too. Until I turned 10 and started getting older.

Educator60 How is it a waste if the donated bears are bringing joy to children in difficult circumstances?
Think about it. If every kid gets a Winnie the Pooh bear, what’s the fun in that? Just how many orphanages are there in Saitama? Then they get flooded with a 1000 Poohsans. Did you ever stop and think it’s just a kind gesture taken over by scummy marketers? Ideally, they should have a giant Pooh and people just drop their money in instead of buying these probably made in China bears furthering environmental pollution and waste for feel good reasons.

I don't want a bear so much as I want one of the bear collectors.

I,ve just had a quick count up and I can see about 50 toys, well if it bring lots of smiles and joy to children that have not got a great deal, good luck to him for donating them. I am going to star skating, PS I am a big beer fan, ( no bottles please )

From what I see from this, the fans toss the bears as a tribute to Hanyu. Then they get collected to provide joy to kids who are down on their luck.
Looks like a win-win to me. Ain't nothing with that.
