Maybe its something Olympic related? The only detail TK revealed was a blank Bearbrick template however the concept seems similar to the project initiated by Nike South East Asia to commemorate the Windrunner. Stay tuned for more details on this artist exhibition.

A three minute trailer can be seen over at Youtube. Pre-orders have begun in Japan, but no word yet on a stateside release.

One of the toys that we can honestly say transformed the toy culture are the Bearbricks. Their cuteness makes them easily acceptable to a wide audience plus having worked with many high profile artist and designers helps boost their popularity as well. Included in this new collection is the 100% & 400% Elvis Bearbrick, the Oasis Bearbrick set, the Boobo Bearbrick, and the Babbi Bearbrick. There is also the Bearbrick Series 16 soon to be released as well but no pictures have been released on those. We wished they would make more 400% Bearbricks instead of the 100% ones.
