The Rebellion That Became Legend: Smorkin' Labbit's Underground Success 🐇
Frank Kozik's Smorkin' Labbit with Kidrobot stands as one of designer vinyl's most enduring partnerships. Born from Kozik's iconic rock poster artwork, this chain-smoking, unshaven rabbit character made the leap from concert flyers to collectible vinyl, establishing itself as a cornerstone of underground toy culture.
The collaboration has produced multiple variations over the years - from standard vinyl releases to special editions in different colorways and finishes. What makes this partnership compelling isn't just the character's rebellious attitude, but how it represents the authentic translation of underground art into collectible form.
For collectors, Smorkin' Labbit represents something pure in the designer toy world - a character that emerged organically from street-level art culture rather than corporate focus groups.
This is what happens when real underground culture meets quality vinyl production ⚡️

Chrome Perfection Meets Collectible Mastery 💫🤖
The legendary collaboration between Hajime Sorayama and Medicom Toy continues to deliver some of the most coveted pieces in the art toy world!
For those new to this partnership: Sorayama, born in 1947 in Imabari, Japan, is best known for his futuristic and hyper-realistic works that feature chrome-finished robots and figures. Widely celebrated for his "Sexy Robot" series, initiated in 1978, he's been creating metallic masterpieces for decades.
Their collaboration has produced multiple BE@RBRICK releases over the years, including:
💋100% and 400% sizes available at official Medicom Toy stores
💋1000% versions measuring 700mm tall
💋Special pewter editions buffed to a chrome-like finish
💋Pure gold leaf versions through collaborations with 2G
What makes these collaborations special is how Medicom Toy's precision manufacturing brings Sorayama's impossibly smooth, reflective surfaces from 2D art into tangible 3D collectibles. Sorayama is revered for his erotic airbrushed illustrations of humanoid robots with chromium-plated finishes, and each BE@RBRICK captures that signature liquid metal quality.
These releases represent where fine art meets premium collectible craftsmanship - a perfect fusion of Sorayama's four-decade legacy with Medicom Toy's innovative toy design.

🔥 Fairey's BE@RBRICK Just Hit Different, and Here's Why
The BE@RBRICK × Shepard Fairey collaboration represents a fascinating intersection of street art and collectible culture. When two creative powerhouses like Medicom Toy and the artist behind OBEY Giant come together, the results are genuinely compelling.
Fairey's approach to the BE@RBRICK format showcases his signature aesthetic perfectly, including his iconic twist on classic messages like "Make Art Not War." The artist who created the Obama "Hope" poster and transformed Andre the Giant into a global cultural phenomenon through his "Obey Giant" campaign brings that same visual impact to vinyl collectibles.
What makes this collaboration particularly interesting is how it translates Fairey's street art philosophy into a collectible format.
The partnership has produced multiple releases, including exclusive drops at DesignerCon, with figures ranging from 100% to 1000% sizes. Beyond the collector market appeal, this represents something significant: the continued evolution of street art into new mediums and the growing legitimacy of designer toys as an art form.

The KAWS x Disney Pinocchio art toy is pure artistic genius and here's why everyone's still talking about it 🔈
This heartwarming Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket vinyl toy duo was created in 2010 as part of the KAWS x Disney collaboration and was manufactured exclusively under KAWS' label 'OriginalFake,' a label that no longer exists today 🥲
The timing makes this piece even more special - KAWS (Brian Donnelly) had previously worked for Disney as a freelance animator painting backgrounds and contributed to animated series like 101 Dalmatians, Daria, and Doug, making this collaboration a full-circle moment.
The technical details showcase the craftsmanship: the set features painted cast vinyl with Pinocchio measuring 10.25 x 5 x 4.5 inches and tiny Jiminy Cricket at just 2.30 x 0.5 x 1 inch, produced in a limited edition of 500 pieces. Each figure set showcases the characters in their classic style with a KAWS twist, which includes the classic X motifs on the eyes and hands, along with the iconic KAWS head shape.
The collector market has recognized this piece's importance - these figures have become serious investment pieces in the art toy world, representing both the golden age of KAWS collectibles 🥇and a unique moment when corporate Disney embraced street art sensibilities.

Chopard just made collecting more expensive 🤑
Chopard’s Ice Cube collection just got the Dimoo treatment for Qixi Festival, and the result is as dazzling as it is strategic.
The Swiss luxury jeweler teamed up with Pop Mart’s Ayan Deng to reimagine Dimoo in Ice Cube style. Three limited-edition variants were created, with Chopard’s precise geometric cubes translating seamlessly onto Dimoo’s dreamy aesthetic.
The details matter here. Only 288 figurines exist, and all are exclusive to China:
🔵209 sets feature two 13 cm Dimoo figures paired with real 18K gold Ice Cube necklaces, accented with diamonds, priced at RMB 25,199 (~$3,500) on Tmall.
🔵79 large figurines stand 29 cm tall, with translucent heads containing icy cityscapes. These were reserved for clients buying Ice Cube jewelry at select Chopard boutiques.
Scarcity, jewelry-level pricing, and cultural cachet place this collaboration firmly in luxury territory. Pop Mart has already reshaped collecting into a lifestyle phenomenon, and Chopard has taken that one step further by positioning a toy drop alongside gold and diamonds.
It’s a bold signal of where the collector market is shifting. China, where toys, art, and fine jewelry are colliding into one powerful status symbol 💎

It’s About to Get Bananas: MONKEY CRAB × Rei Kawakami’s Joe Mountain 🦀
Rei Kawakami’s Joe Mountain is the kind of figure that feels both powerful and oddly endearing. With its gorilla-like build and wide-eyed, almost gentle expression, it has a presence that’s hard to ignore. It looks solid and strong, yet there’s something goofy about it that makes you want to keep looking 🐒
The mini series landed in October 2023 through Kenelephant, each piece about six centimeters tall with movable arms and full sculpting all around. What makes it fun is the variety: one Joe shows up with a banana, another with headphones, a cap, a skateboard, or even an ice cream. They’re released as capsule toys and blind boxes, which means part of the thrill is not knowing which version you’ll end up with.
What makes Joe Mountain special is its balance. It isn’t overdesigned or flashy, but it has just the right mix of toughness and humor to feel like it belongs in every collection. It’s playful, strange, and somehow relatable. Exactly the kind of figure that makes people fall in love with art toys 🤩

How Daniel Arsham fossilized Pokémon for 1000 years 🔮
Daniel Arsham's collaboration with Pokémon and NANZUKA Gallery takes a fascinating approach: what would beloved characters look like as archaeological discoveries from 1000 years in the future?
The project spanned three exhibitions:
"Relics of Kanto Through Time" (June-August 2020), "Time Dilation" (January 2021), and "A Ripple in Time" (February 2022). The final exhibition ran across five Tokyo venues simultaneously.
Arsham transformed Pikachu, Charmander, and Squirtle into weathered, crystallized sculptures that appear excavated from some distant timeline. His "Fictional Archaeology" method creates pieces that feel authentically ancient despite depicting digital-age icons. A 2-meter bronze Pikachu installation at Shibuya PARCO brought the concept into public space.
The work raises compelling questions about cultural permanence and digital legacy. Rather than nostalgic tribute, these pieces function as speculative artifacts – imagining how today's pop culture might survive millennia of erosion and time.
The collaboration also produced an anime short, extending the archaeological narrative into moving image 🎥
This represents contemporary art engaging seriously with pop culture, creating work that functions both as collectible objects and conceptual statements about time, memory, and cultural value.

🎮 When gaming icons become art objects
Those four symbols that trained our muscle memory for 30 years? Now they're living on a 400% BE@RBRICK, and the translation is surprisingly elegant.
What's fascinating is how PlayStation's button language works as pure graphic design, stripped from the controller context, ○×□△ still reads as unmistakably PlayStation. Medicom clearly understood the assignment: keep it clean, let the symbols do the talking.
For collectors who grew up with DualShock controllers in hand, this one's going to sit nicely on the shelf next to your PS5. It's that sweet spot where gaming culture meets art toy culture, without trying too hard to be either.
Sometimes the best collabs are the ones that make you think "why didn't this happen sooner?"
Those BE@RBRICK collectors who secured pre-orders back in May are sitting pretty right now 🐻
