Emotionally Unavailable works in collaboration with [Medicom Toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-1) on a new 100% figure for the season. The new [BE@RBRICK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-6) collaboration is spotlighted by its light-up design. The red structure is a clear iteration that will mark the duo's sixth time working together.

The slightly transparent body is made from plastic from the head down to the toe done in a tinted red hue and at the chest showcases a large dripping heart in a opaque red. This is one of the classic motifs by Emotionally Unavailable and it lights up with a switch. All of the rustic elements of the design can be seen for a transparent approach, showcasing pivot points, angles, seams, reinforced pieces, and more.
