The Museum of Modern Art in New York works in collaboration with Medicom Toy Corporation to launch a special bear figurine dubbed the BE@RBRICK Audio Color Block 400%. The design is a speaker that runs on Bluetooth connectivity and plays songs at a high quality.
Additionally, it also functions as a work of art as it boasts a vibrant tonal design modeled after the brand's 400% size bear figurine. It is decorated with various colors in a clear shell to showcase the interior workings. The BE@RBRICK Audio Color Block 400% took over 20,000 hours of engineering to create and the other is 214 custom-designed parts that are a part of the artful and audio experience
