Once again a new Bearbrick has arrived for the season and this time, it comes from the CLOT Handshake x Medicom Toy collaboration.
Not too long ago CLOT and Medicom Toy released a three-eyed mickey Bearbrick figure in time for the Christmas Holiday. But knowing the latter, the brand is going to keep churning out new releases for avid toy collectors. This time around, the CLOT Handshake x Medicom Toy Bearbrick draws its design inspiration from fruits. One figure is modeled after a pineapple and the other a melon. The toys are donned in patterns and colors of its respective fruit, giving it a fresh, vibrant look. What's surprising is the addition of eyes, which isn't a feature that Medicom Toy is really known for putting on the Bearbrick figures.
The two figures will be available in 100% and 400% sizes.
