Andi aka theballatician and me went to Tokyo this year and really got into the Medicom Bearbricks while checking out all the sneaker and design stores. I remember how Andi went into atmos and picked the last box of a Bearbrick 18 series and actually got the Bearbrick he wanted, yes we were lucky if it came to toys maybe not as lucky when it came to sneakers though unfortunately for Andi (check the story about undftd and the yeezys).
This December the 22nd (12/22/09) the big release of the newest in the series of Bearbrick is going to be out on the market.
BEARBRICK SERIES 19
For all of you that dont know what Bearbricks are, its a designer toy (urban vinyl / UV) by manufacturer Medicom Toys usually produced in really limited runs and highly collectable.
Instincttoys takes pre-orders as far as I understood the japanese on there click the link and use google translator if you are not fluent in japanese (like me).
