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 ￥10,290 (limit to 1000-sets). Notice they of different heights, even as 400% - similar to the telly-show. heh.
/// Chiaki & Colette meets BE＠RBRICK with the MY FIRST Be@rbrick BABY (Colette Version) priced @ ￥7,140. The clear-bear-belly holds different objects than from the 100%-version tho. Limited to 800-pcs with a December 6th-drop.

Available via Isetan (18 stores) and Mitsukoshi (20 stores) outlets throughout Japan from December 5th 2008. Hell, if I could, I'd get this and light it up instead of getting a X-mas tree! LOL

/// The Blue & Pink duo with the "duck-beak" are character mascots ZOOMIN & CHARMIN of NTV's "Zoom-In!! SUPER" (aka a morning news & infotainment program that has been on the air for 30 years - and only now they get made into toys? heh :p). Priced @ ￥2,730 for the pair.

Featuring the tower-motif on a starless night - the 100% Tokyo Tower Beerbrick has a SRP of ¥1,500. I reckon this would look real cool at 400% tho, IMHO.
