Brand Collaborative Figurines

Bearbrick Worldwide Tour 2 Collection Dolls Up Iconic Vinyl Toys

— November 25, 2011 — Life-Stages
Medicom Toy is unveiling its biggest collaborative line yet with the Bearbrick Worldwide Tour 2 Collection.

The Japanese brand will be hosting its Bearbrick Worldwide Tour 2 that starts from December 3 to December 12. To celebrate the upcoming event at Shibuya Parco in Tokyo, Medicom Toy will be collaborating with a series of artists for new designs. Brands such as Stussy, Fragment Design, A Bathing Ape and TokiDoki will put in their own spin on the iconic teddy figure with fresh looks. The Bearbrick Worldwide Tour 2 Collection that’s been revealed so far is a good taste of what can be expected.

The Bearbrick Worldwide Tour 2 Collection may be the most impressive, wildly creative series yet. I suggest checking out the event if you’re in Tokyo.
