bearbrick updates for november/december 2008
December-releases for Medicom Toy's BE@RBRICKS [www] include the previously blogged about BE@RBRICK Series 17, Dragonball 70% Be@rbricks and the Pepsi Nex x Warner Bros set of promo 70% figure series. I (foolishly) breakdown the list from 400% down to 50% ("foolish" becoz it took too long to translate online, and to interpret them. Apologies for any event of misinformation herein tho :p). Onward:SIZE: 400%
/// GACHAPIN & MUKKU 2-Pack (from the FUJI TV kids' series) -Pre-order here for ļæ„10,290 (limit to 1000-sets). Notice they of different heights, even as 400% - similar to the telly-show. heh.
/// Chiaki & Colette meets BEļ¼ RBRICK with the MY FIRST Be@rbrick BABY (Colette Version) priced @ ļæ„7,140. The clear-bear-belly holds different objects than from the 100%-version tho. Limited to 800-pcs with a December 6th-drop.
