Expressionist Painter-Referencing Toys

Medicom Toy's Jackson Pollock Bearbrick Makes Great Decor

— April 4, 2018 — Pop Culture
Medicom Toy, the Japanese collectible manufacturer that's most widely known for its unique Bearbrick toys, recently came out with a new iteration that honors the late expressionist painter and legend, Jackson Pollock.

The Bearbrick toy features its usual shape, with a pudgy belly, large head, rounded ears, and LEGO-like limbs. Covering the figurine is a classic Pollock work, with the colorful paint splatters featuring contrasting hues of blue, black, yellow, white and brown most prominently.

The Jackson Pollock Bearbrick comes in the brand's 1,000% size, and is available for a limited time for a price of $845 USD from retailers like HAVEN. Given that the 70cm figurine is covered in the artist's iconic work, and comes with a matching collector's box, it makes for great decor.
