The Ted movie was one that captured the attention of audiences everywhere some time ago, with a plot that followed an adorable teddy that was supplied with a provocative personality.
In order to revitalize this, Medicom Toy has transitioned the character from the Ted movie into the medium of a Bearbrick collectible. What's most different about the product from other's that the company has released is its soft surface, as other versions generally maintain a sleek and shiny finish.
As Medicom Toy even did this with its version of Elmo, its interesting that it chose to swap its usual design for one that's more like the real character from the Ted movie. In order to keep the unique release exclusive, the company is only offering a limited number to be available for purchase.
