Medicom Toy Releases Astro Boy "Brave Version" BE@RBRICK
In a stand-alone 1000% iteration as well as a 400%/100% pack.
Medicom Toy‘s BE@RBRICK line and Astro Boy have quite a history: the famed anime android was turned into 1000% and 400% BE@RBRICKs in 2016, and also appeared as a fully articulated 200% BE@RBRICK in 2017. Now, BE@RBRICK and Astro Boy are back together once again for a new “Brave Version” figure.
Appearing in a supersized 1000% as well as a standard 400% and 100% set, the “Brave Version” figure features a determined expression on its face in place of the welcoming grin of its predecessor. However, the rest of its build is left completely untouched — its ears are translucent with black spikes to represent Astro Boy’s hair, two-tone green and black shorts cover its waist and signature red boots appear on its feet. The 1000% stands at 70cm tall (just over 2’3) while the 400% and 100% are 28cm and 7cm tall ( just over 11 inches and just under 3 inches).
Interested parties can purchase Medicom Toy’s Astro Boy “Brave Version” BE@RBRICK at MCT Tokyo. The 1000% is priced at ￥46,200 JPY (approximately $425 USD) while the 400%/100% set arrives at ￥13,200 JPY (approximately $122 USD). Both prices are inclusive of tax.
