So far, Medicom Toy has been quite impressive with its string of releases that combine combine pop-cultural characters in the form of their Bearbrick figures. This time, the company is going with high fashion by releasing the Gucci x Medicom Toy. This brand new figure is celebrating Gucci's 90th anniversary with a classier version of the Bearbrick model. The luxurious item is finished with a glossy black and features the brand's name as the eyes, and bears the interlocking "G" logo on the chest. The left ear has a green and pink color that beautifully contrasts the midnight scheme. There's no word on the toy's release date just yet, but I'm sure many fans of Gucci and Bearbrick are anticipating this item.
