The newest edition to the Medicom family is the new Comme des Garçons x Medicom Toy "Jingle Flowers." The company is using its infamous Bearbrick figure as the model for the latest figure that many fans of designer toys will be going after as a collectible.
The first impression of the Comme des Garcons x Medicom Toy "Jingle Flowers" is that it's plain, simple and that it doesn't really stand out. However, when you look at the back, you'll discover something quite delicate. The reverse side of the figure features a beautifully laid-out white floral design as well as "Jingle Flowers" inscribed on the heel of the right leg.
This is one of the more subtle Bearbrick figures I've seen. But it'd still make a great addition for anyone who collects these toys.
