A series of fun releases from Medicom continue to trickle out in association with the 2012 MEDICOM TOY EXHIBITION. The makers of the much-loved and iconic Bearbrick are offering up a ceramic mug in the toy’s likeness. Along with the label’s other Summer 2012 releases, the mug available in two colors will be available starting on June 23, for ¥1,260 JPY (approximately $15 USD).

Following a series of leaks and previews, here’s an official look into one of OriginalFake’s lifestyle collaborations in time for Christmas as it involves the legendary cartoon strip, Peanuts. The “JOE KAWS” mug casts Snoopy in an all new light offering the beagle a set of KAWS-commissioned shades. Available now at the OriginalFake online store.

Japanese retailer Beauty & Youth welcome aboard fellow Japanese brands MUG and Porter on a special collaborative project to round out the year. For MUG and Porter, the two once again extend their partnership through a series of simply designed product in exclusive colorways. The range offers daily functionality and quality that has made Porter a perennial favorite among city dwellers on an increasingly global scale. The collaboration includes a backpack (presented here), a helmet bag, and a waist bag, all in the same shimmery gray materials.

Adding to the success of its T-shirt featuring the same graphic, American streetwear veteran FUCT will release the 21 Death Bunny Mug on November 15. Currently available for pre-order here, this contemporary, made in Japan twist on Playboy’s iconic bunny features a skull and crossbones makeup and FUCT’s LA emblem. Available in a week at double-park in Hong Kong, this mug will certainly have co-workers second guessing small talk at the community coffee pot.

Featuring the same camouflage print as the backpack we showed you last week comes a new release from Porter and MUG. This time, the two have teamed up to produce an iPad case that uses a highly durable and ultra-lightweight Cordura fabric for the shell. Priced at ¥13,650 (approximately $170 USD), the iPad case can be purchased now from M a online shop.

In continuation of the collaborative capsule of accessories started with this wallet, MUG and Porter have again combined to create this accompanying coin case. The case is created from Teflon and is therefore waterproof; helpful for all those wishing to carry materials more delicate than their spare change. The Velcro-fastened accessory is simply branded with two adjacent labels that indicate each contributor. Priced at $440 HKD (approx. $57 USD), fans can now purchase the case in-store from INCREDIBLE.
