Medicom's 'BE@RBRICK' collectibles are one of the most iconic creations from the company -- with it now using the model to create an Elmo toy that takes on a much different appearance from the original.
The furry red monster that was a star on the ever-popular educational children's show 'Sesame Street' was given a pair of teddy bear ears and a solid structure that's not usually seen. The normally fluffy figure's face is true to the character's original however, with a pair of wide eyes placed closely together, a round orange nose and a gaping toothless smile painted on.
The monster's fur is depicted with squiggles on its surface and its soft look is modeled by a pudgy belly that sticks out. Medicom's BE@RBRICK Elmo toy collectibles are available for a limited time only and can be ordered online.
