Both superheros from [DC Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/batman-x-blvck-collection) have received their own original looks, but for this occasion, Medicom Toy is giving them both the same design theme. The Batman & Superman Bearbricks will feature a more colorful, warm approach look this time around. Both figures will have hearts as eyes, as well as red hands and boots to tie the new theme together. The rest of the details stays fairly standard with the superheros dressed in the colors of their respective costumes on the rest of their bodies. Considering the madness that is Black Friday, there's a good chance that the Batman & Superman Bearbricks will go fast.
