the debut of 18

Tadah!!! Presenting my Series 18 collection, so far (it's still missing two: Secret Futura 2000 & Secret Gallery 1950). My favorites are the 3 Ts: Tetris, Terminator, and Tokidoki bears.

Top row, left to right:

Basic (@/Lilac)
Flag (India)
Pattern (Tetris)
SciFi (Terminator Salvation)
Jellybean (Red)
Artist (Tokidoki)
Cute (SpongeBob by Hillenburg)
Secret Cute (Superhero SpongeBob)

Bottom row, left to right:

Horror (Stimpy)
Secret Horror (Ren)
Animal (Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary)
Secret Animal (Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary)
Artist (Kuwahara Shigekasu)
Secret (Club King)
Secret Artist (Feminyan)
Secret Artist (Sato)

The last bear designed by an artist called "Sato" is still a mystery to me. Is he the Uniqlo creative director Kashiwa Sato, industrial designer Oki Sato, fashion designer Maasaki Sato, professor/designer Koichi Sato, or the actor Koichi Sato? (LOL) The only clue I have is the stamp on its back (below), which I, of course, can't decipher. Can you? :-)

Pics by yours truly.

Fiona,

Fresh QC closed down already. Christian (the owner) said that they're moving to a new location (Greenhills?) soon.

For now, you can only buy their stuff at the Domani Store in Makati. :-)

Hi. I've been collecting these things for just a month and I've been following your posts for updates. I find them very interesting and very good source for Bearbrick info. Series 18 has a lot of very interesting designs. Too bad it's quite hard to find stores selling them here. I recently stumbled upon your blog, sticking out your tongue. Is it possible that you have doubles you want to sell?
