Back in December, Coarsetoys released a 1:3 Butchers Block Berlin Edition for the opening of the Vans store in Berlin. The figure was much sought after but was only available at the Vans store. Luckily, those looking for this figure might have another stab at getting it. This upcoming release dubbed “Flake” Pain Edition will site 25 inches tall and will come in a wooden box. We’re guessing that these will be quite limited as you can only get this figure at the Vans stores in London, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona and Utrecht. Collectors from the States will also be able to get one at Rotofugi and MunkyKing. “Flake” will retail for $320 USD and will be released near the end of January.

Here’s another one of those Bearbricks that you want so badly but will probably never have a chance to have (Just like the Chanel Bearbricks). For the 10th anniversary of Fendi’s Baguette bag, Fendi has teamed up with Medicom Toy to produce ten very limited Bearbricks. Three styles are available each with Fendi’s logo and the vivid colors from the 10th anniversary Baguette bags. These figures will come in three sizes including the 1000% that everyone wants to get their hands on but unless you’re a VIP client of Fendi, you probably won’t be able to pick one of these babies up.

Out of all the vinyls and figures out there in this culture, the Bearbricks remain probably the most popular of them all mainly due to the people they work with. If you’re a special few (we’re not) like Michael from the agency La MJC, then you might have already received this little 2008 New Year 50% Bearbrick as a gift courtesy of Medicom Toy. You probably won’t be able to buy this anywhere so it’ll probably be better to give up now just like we did.
Indonesian artist and designer Darbotz was among the artists selected to participate in an exhibition between Medicom Toy & Nike Windrunner. Special personalities were given a blank 400% Bearbrick as a canvas to work their creative skills. This is Darbotz’s particular creation and features some of the artist’s personal touches reminiscent of his trademark work.
