The limited-edition Bearbricks are available in the Japanese collectible brand's [100% and 400% sizes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-color-block-400), and can be ordered from its website for about $120 USD. Overall, the figures are rather minimalist in appearance, with a white base that features a myriad of light gray designs on it. The small abstract symbols create a bit of a camouflage pattern, which helps to bring more diversity to the design. What stands out the most however is [STASH's bright blue signature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stash-1) that's painted right on the chest of the Bearbrick, as well as where one of its eyes might be. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Branded Collectibles:** Creating limited-edition collectibles in collaboration with artists allows brands to tap into the growing market of collectors. - **Minimalist Design:** Embracing a minimalist design aesthetic in collectibles can attract consumers who appreciate simplicity and modernity. - **Artist Collaborations:** Partnering with artists to create branded collectibles provides a unique and exclusive experience for fans. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Collectibles:** The art collectibles industry can benefit from collaborating with popular graffiti artists like STASH to create limited-edition pieces that appeal to collectors. - **Toys and Games:** The toy industry can explore collaborations with artists to create unique collectible figures that bridge the gap between art and play. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce platforms have the opportunity to cater to the growing demand for branded collectibles by providing a curated selection of limited-edition collaborations between artists and brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [70s-Themed Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corduroy-bearbrick.md) - [Runway Show-Themed Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takahiromiyashitathesoloist.md) - [Patchwork Denim Figurine Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchwork-denim-berbrick.md) - [Watermarked Jade Bear Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jade-berbrick.md) - [Denim-Themed Luxury Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levis-6.md) - [London-Inspired Bear Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-1.md) - [Blazer-Adorned Bear Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blazeradorned-bear-figure.md) - [Graffiti Artist-Made Rare Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stash-1.md) - [Bear-shaped Bluetooth Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-collectible-toy.md)
