first steps

Yes, it finally walks!

No batteries needed, just wind it up.

What big feet! I guess this is evolution.

Wanna see it in motion?

Or slooooow motion? LOL

I wonder what's next. Tumbling bearbricks? Talking bearbricks? Like those freaky dolls on Youtube, will they start peeing, too?! Oh well... as long as you don't forget about design, Medicom! Hint: industrial designer Philippe Starck, fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana, shoe designer Manolo Blahnik, illustrator Takashi Murakami, graffiti artist Banksy... my wish list goes on and on... and on....

take 20

Series 20, everybody! Finally got all (!) of them – thanks to Rareak of eBay!

Upper row, left to right:
Basic (@ Sign)
Flag (South Africa)

It may be the biggest series so far; I had to divide them into two pics! The first (above) features the regular bears while the second (below) is made up of "secret" – meaning "rarer" – bears.  

Upper row, left to right:
Secret Sci-Fi (Ironman 2 / War Machine)
Secret (20th Release)
Secret Animal (Gremlins - Stripe)
Secret (Fragment Design by Hiroshi Fujiwara)
Secret (Phenomenon Japan)

Bottom row, left to right:
Secret Sci-Fi (Momotaros Imagin - White Version)
Secret (Momo)
Secret Horror (Captain Action - Dr. Eville)
Secret (Hysteric Glamor)

My favorites? The red Ironman Bearbrick – it's got a unique and expensive-looking finish, just like automotive paint. The first of its kind, I think! A multi-colored Jellybean Bearbrick is also a first, so I like that one, too. And of course, Gizmo the Gremlin, because he reminds me of my cute dog Hogan.

There's also another "first" in this series, but I gonna write about that in my next post. Watch out for it, bearbrick lovers!
