The Be@rbricks toy company has covered hundreds of pop culture icons including groups such as the Beatles and solo artists like Kanye West. However, I think this Sex Pistols Be@rbrick is the coolest yet.
It comes in a very vivid punk green, or pink, and in small and kick arse large size, which is just so cool. They are totally sold out in the UK, but if you can get your hands on one, this is most certainly one designer toy without a whiff of naff about it!
