Japanese toy brand MediCom Toy and wooden furniture brand Karimoku have cooperated to make BEARBRICK many times.

The most special one is the one made of wood bricks. The material of BEARBRICK is 3-6months naturally dried wood. It is polished and paved by carpenters, making the BEBRICK more special and characteristic. Finally, the Japanese name of Karimoku is engraved on the feet of BEARBRICK.

Karimoku consistently produces high-quality and trendy products. Karimoku x Medicom Toy 400% “Ovangkol” BEARBRICK is one of the best BEARBRICKs they have ever made. Although this 400% BEARBRICK is not as huge as the 1000% BEARBRICK, the height of this collection also reaches 28cm. This work was launched in 2019. They have chosen a very precious wood, African Ovangkol, as the material of this art. Its grain and texture are very similar to Rosewood, which is also a precious wood. This work is meant to be a work of art, but not just a toy.

BAPE has always been treated as a trendy brand. Products from BAPE are always sold out once it is listed. The BEARBRICK which is jointly launched by BAPE, KARIMOKU, and MediCom Toy was of course a hot topic for everyone. This tripartite BEARBRICK is designed based on the signature BAPE’s classic MILO shape. The whole body is constructed of different woods. The wood grain and color of the wood add extra tastes to the BEARBRICK. Instead of being a toy, it is more likely to be an art sculpture. Not only children will love it, but adults will also be crazy about it. It will be the best decoration in your home.
