STASH, a celebrated graffiti artist who's known for his colorful and modern style, recently collaborated with Medicom Toy to create a branded Bearbrick collectible for his fans to enjoy.
The limited-edition Bearbricks are available in the Japanese collectible brand's 100% and 400% sizes, and can be ordered from its website for about $120 USD. Overall, the figures are rather minimalist in appearance, with a white base that features a myriad of light gray designs on it. The small abstract symbols create a bit of a camouflage pattern, which helps to bring more diversity to the design.
What stands out the most however is STASH's bright blue signature that's painted right on the chest of the Bearbrick, as well as where one of its eyes might be.
