The latest Bearbrick figure that designer toy enthusiasts may want to add to their collection is the Medicom Toy x Tokyo Skytree figurine.
For those who haven't heard, the Tokyo Skytree is a new architectural piece that will be unveiled around December for this year. It fuses modern and traditional Japanese design aesthetics and is currently the largest tower in the world. The Medicom Toy x Tokyo Skytree Bearbrick pays homage to the new structure. The figure has a translucent blue body that lightly fades as you look towards the feet. An image of the Tokyo Skytree has been imprinted from head to toe and the left ear displays a small cloud. I love the design and the fact that Medicom Toy has decided to go more detailed in terms of visual appeal with this release.
