Nike are still in the throws of celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the iconic Air Force 1 sneaker and as a regular collaborator with Medicom the two have got together to release these new 400% & 100% Be@rbrick sets.  Releaseing in the next few weeks.   

BlackBook Toy is gearing up for artist David Flores' "It's Been A Minute" exhibit with the release of an exclusive vinyl figure. The BE@RBRICK figure stands 7cm high and features Flores' graphic for Geoff Rowley's Flip Skateboards.

Medicom release details of these crazy new 400% Be@rbricks due out this Summer: 1 is an Aroma Diffuser, 2 is made from glow in the dark wood and No3 is Aluminium! 1 Aroma Diffuser Be@rbrick Ok so you're familliar with those scent dispensers you place around the place so it smells nice when people visit and don't get a noseful of your natural odour? Well this is one of them in errr... Be@rbrick form. Free of detail this 'brick comes in a semi transluscent white plastic, even with a built in LED.

Well if you're anything like me (unlikely I know), this is an essential purchase! The Be@rbrick Mug, arriving June 23rd. Not quite sure why i desperately need this but the design is the classic Be@rbrick head shape, clean and simple and looks well made for sure. Classy addition for any toy collector whether it ends up having a hot beverage drunk out of it, or just used for storing pens. It will go nicely with the Secret Base mug Geoff brought back from Japan for me last year. Due for release on June 23rd, no word on price as of yet.

Medicom has you Be@rbrick fans covered with this new Japanese series of figures that will be available from their new store in the record breaking Skytree tower shopping complex in Tokyo. In celebrating the opening of the store and the newly built Skytree Tower Medicom have looked back to their roots and national history and tradition for this series. Prominently you will see the traditional Manekineko (Beckoning Cat) which will be available in 100 and 400% versions. Other designs include Shishimai (Lion dance), Kabuki, Buriki Kingyo (Toy Goldfish) and Daruma.

Medicom have done a few collaborations with Karimoku recently for their wooden range of toys. Preveious collaborations included the wooden Kaws Companion and a 400$ Be@rbrick. This Be@rbrick marks the 77th anniversary of Yoshida & Co, makers of Porter Bags. To celebrate they have produced this 400% Be@rbrick made from Padauk wood. Reportedly made in super limited quantities (tho we have no numbers) each figure carries 2 wooden bags inspired by Yoshida's iconic Porter Silhouette.

This Original Fake Be@rbrick brings major visual impact to the 1000% Be@rbrick range, wearing an all over Kaws Chomper print jumpsuit, who knows what design lies underneath!
