Medicom Toy’s Bearbrick series have updated to showcase upcoming collections of Bearbricks set to release within the next few months. The collaborations include the movie Todd Sweeney, Coconist, UNDFTD (Tokyo 1 Year Anniversary), World Wildlife Federation, Pepsi Nex, Montage and TMT among others. There are quite a few 50% keychains releasing this time around as well. Information including release dates can be seen here.
In a recent blog post from TK (of Hong Kong lifestyle group SiLLY THING), he speaks of an upcoming Medicom Toy Bearbrick exhibition set to take place in China’s capital next month. 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.
Look for Japanese manga series Naruto to be created into Bearbrick form in an upcoming collaboration. The Naruto series follows the main character Naurto as he develops as a ninja and endures personal growth. This however is the Sasuke Uchiha edition which is a character who often competes with Naruto. No word yet on availability.

Personalities seen within the 1968 cartoon Yellow Submarine inspired by The Beatles have made the jump onto an upcoming set of Bearbricks from Medicom Toys. Debuting at the height of psychedelic pop culture movement, the cartoon certainly doesn’t disappoint as each Bearbrick is dressed according to the cartoons they represent. A three minute trailer can be seen over at Youtube. Pre-orders have begun in Japan, but no word yet on a stateside release.

We have previously seen the 1000% Fendi Bearbricks which were produced for VIP members of Fendi only. If you missed out on that, you can check it out here. However, nothing compares in size to this really huge Bearbrick which stands in one of the Fendi stores in Paris. You probably won’t be able to purchase this as this is probably a store display. So for now, all we can do is just look at the pictures and drool.
Update: There is apparently one of these at the 5th Avenue Fendi store in Manhattan, New York as well. (Thanks Matthew!)

To correspond with the Medicom Toy Futura Bearbrick which was shown last year, a matching collection of clothing has been unveiled. Aside from the original tees shown, there’s a further collection of items including raglan S/S tees, lighters, fitted caps and distressed selvedge denim. All the items will be available at the FL Shop on March 8th, while the denim will be released early next month.
With an upcoming anniversary slated to be celebrated next month, pictures and information regarding an UNDFTD, Medicom Toy and Converse project has surfaced. Although most of the information pertains to next month’s release including 100% and 400% Bearbricks, the fate of the Converse All Star is yet to be determined. Definitely stay tuned for more details as they become available.

A toy that has transcended everything from low brow artists to high fashion and streetwear, the 10th anniversary of Fendi’s Baguette model has been remembered in unconventional fashion with a 10 pack of Medicom Toy Bearbricks. Each colored Bearbrick is a different color with a year printed on the back. Could there also be matching bags on the horizon?

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.
As an Italian confectionery company, Babbi opened its first doors in Japan in 2002. Its craft of making chocolates, gelato and wafer treats would gain them Japan-wide popularity. This popularity has been translated into a set of Bearbricks from Medicom Toys. The flat black paint includes silver print to create the facial features. Look for these to hit all Babbi stores starting February 22nd.
