TOKYO SKYTREE, one of the most iconic observatories in Tokyo, presents an interesting collaboration with Medicom Toys‘ Bearbrick series for the holiday. Using the Bearbrick as a canvas, the toys have been re-appropriated and re-sized to create the “Manekineko Daruma Gold” series. “Manikineko” and “Daruma” are both highly ubiquitous symbols in Japanese culture, representing good luck for the owner.

The collection also includes a range of other traditional likenesses, and is available in the SKYTREE shop.
