What began as conjecture and speculation in our first preview article has now become reality – and we're proud to announce that some of our predictions were spot on.
Japanese distributors have been shipping the BE@RBRICK Series 50 since July 28th , and we're doing everything we can to organize fast shipping from Japan to Germany. We expect to ship the first Bearbrick blind boxes and individual figures to you in the week of August 4th—the wait is almost over!

Thanks to the latest information from Japan, we can now detail the previously secret figures from the anniversary series. This means you can now pre-order the coveted secret models in our shop !
You can find the complete overview of all available figures – including the newly revealed Secrets – on our updated BE@RBRICK Series 50 collection page .
In this update article, we'll focus exclusively on the secret figures that perfectly round out the already impressive lineup of the anniversary series. Get ready for some surprises and confirm that Medicom Toy isn't doing things by halves when it comes to its 50th anniversary!
M3GAN 2.0 - Two variants from the new movie
The first big surprise of the Secret revelations concerns the M3GAN universe: What initially looked like a simple costume variation turns out to be a spectacular double release of two different M3GAN designs from M3GAN 2.0!
The official M3GAN figure shows the familiar antagonist in a dark blue outfit (left figure). The secret version (right figure), however, surprises with a different look: M3GAN in a light, cream-colored costume with white accents—a design taken directly from the 2025 sequel, M3GAN 2.0.
This secret reveal makes the BE@RBRICK Series 50 an absolute must-have for film fans: You get both the iconic M3GAN from the first film and an exclusive sneak peek at its new look in M3GAN 2.0. A clever move by Medicom Toy to immortalize both looks from the highly anticipated sequel!
Availability: Both figures are now available for pre-order in our shop - the classic M3GAN as the official horror figure and the new variant as the coveted secret version.
Osamu Harada - The Complete "John & Jill" Duo
Our second Secret reveal confirms one of our most successful predictions from the original preview article: The already known "John" is indeed joined by the female counterpart "Jill" as a Secret character !
The official Osamu Harada figure features the charming boy "John" with his signature blond hair, blue sweater with a white collar, and gray pants. The Secret version completes the duo with "Jill" – an adorable girl with blond pigtails, a red sweater, and blue pants.
This pairing perfectly reflects Osamu Harada's artistic style, which often features loving children's characters and harmonious duos. The renowned Japanese illustrator, whose simple and heartwarming style has captivated generations, is honored here in his full thematic range.
For collectors, this represents a rare opportunity to own a complete artist's set: the classic "John & Jill" pair that so aptly represents Osamu Harada's work. The color scheme—John's blue top and Jill's red—also creates a beautiful visual contrast in any display case.
Availability: John is available as an official artist figure , while Jill can be pre-ordered as a coveted secret version - both figures complement each other to create a unique collectible from the world of Osamu Harada.
Monchhichi - The cute duo is complete
Another prediction from our original preview article is becoming reality: The official Monchhichi-kun is joined by the female counterpart Monchhichi-chan as a secret figure !
The already familiar Animal figure features Monchhichi-kun in his classic appearance with the characteristic brown fur pattern, friendly face, and signature red bib with Monchhichi lettering. The Secret version completes the popular duo with Monchhichi-chan , who differs from her male counterpart with her longer hair and slightly different styling.
Since 1974, these cute monkey dolls have captured the hearts of children and adults worldwide. The classic Monchhichi pair (kun = boy, chan = girl) represents the timeless popularity of these iconic characters, who made their first Bearbrick appearance in Series 11.
Particularly interesting: In addition to Series 50, Monchhichi-kun and Monchhichi-chan are also being offered as separate 400% figures (28 cm tall), which were presented exclusively at the Medicom Toy Exhibition 2025. Collectors can thus choose between the complete 100% duo from Series 50 or the larger individual figures in 400% format.
Availability: Monchhichi-kun is available as an official Animal figure , while Monchhichi-chan can be pre-ordered as a secret version - a must-have for all fans of the cute monkey dolls!
Powerpuff Girls - The complete superhero trio united
The third confirmed prediction from our preview article is causing a real storm of excitement: Blossom will be joined by Buttercup and Bubbles as secret figures – the complete Powerpuff Girls trio is thus united!
The already known official Artist figure Blossom (right) depicts the group's leader in her signature pink outfit with orange hair and red bow. The Secret Figures complete the legendary superhero trio with Buttercup (left) in her green outfit with black hair and Bubbles (center) in her light blue costume with blonde pigtails.
Each of the three sisters brings her own unique personality: Blossom as the strategic leader, Buttercup as the tough fighter, and Bubbles as the sweet, gentle soul of the group. The Bearbrick versions perfectly capture these distinctive traits in the iconic colors and designs of the Cartoon Network series.
For fans of the iconic 90s series, this is an absolute dream: For the first time, all three Powerpuff Girls can be united in one Bearbrick collection. The opportunity to own the complete trio makes this secret reveal one of the highlights of Series 50.
Availability: Blossom is available as an official Artist figure , while Buttercup and Bubbles can be pre-ordered as coveted Secret versions - together they form the ultimate Powerpuff Girls set!
Squid Game - Young-Hee meets Chul-Su
Our fourth prediction is also spectacularly confirmed: The official Young-Hee from Squid Game is actually joined as a secret character by Chul-Su – the male counterpart of the terrifying surveillance dolls!
The already well-known horror character Young-Hee (right) presents herself in her new outfit from Season 3 of the Netflix hit series—a pink/red dress with the signature red lips and eerie stare. Chul-Su (left) completes the duo from the game "Skipping Rope" in his green and blue striped outfit.
These two giant puppets are inextricably linked to one of the most iconic and disturbing scenes from the global Netflix sensation. While Young-Hee made her first BE@RBRICK appearance in Series 44 with a different costume, Chul-Su now adds his menacing presence to the Squid Game universe.
The duo perfectly embodies the psychological tension of the series: seemingly harmless children's toy figures who turn out to be deadly gamers. For fans of the series, this is the ultimate opportunity to combine the two in their collection.
Availability: Young-Hee is available as an official horror figure , while Chul-Su can be pre-ordered as a secret version - together they form the complete surveillance duo from the Squid Game universe!
Yabai T-Shirts Yasan - Japanese pop-punk meets Bearbrick
A completely surprising secret figure comes from the Japanese music scene: Yabai T-Shirts Yasan – one of Japan's hottest pop-punk bands!
The rock band, founded in Osaka in 2012, rose to fame with their debut album "We Love Tank-top" in 2016 and has since become a true phenomenon on the Japanese music scene. The band name literally translates as "Awesome T-Shirt Shop" and reflects the group's humorous, unconventional character.
The Secret figure features the band's signature design with its colorful tie-dye pattern and simple yet iconic mascot face. Yabai T-Shirts Yasan are known for their catchy pop-punk songs, humorous lyrics, and their particular love of tank tops—a recurring theme in their album titles such as "We love Tank-top," "Galaxy of the Tank-top," and "Tank-top Festival in JAPAN."
This unexpected collaboration demonstrates Medicom Toys' flair for contemporary Japanese pop culture beyond the usual anime and film licenses. For fans of the Japanese music scene, this is a rare opportunity to own their favorite rock band in Bearbrick form.
Availability: This surprising secret figure is now available for pre-order - a must-have for all fans of Japanese pop punk and collectors of exceptional collaborations!
David Guetta - When Electronic Dance Music meets BE@RBRICK
One of the most spectacular and unexpected Secret Figures of the Series 50 comes from the international music world: David Guetta – the world-famous French DJ and producer!
This special Secret figure is directly related to the current collaboration "Supernova Love" between the South Korean K-pop group IVE and David Guetta. On December 24, 2024, IVE and David Guetta collaborated with the Japanese collectible toy brand BE@RBRICK for an exclusive music video for the song.
The Secret figure's design features a white body with pink splashes in street art style, a striking black "X" on the chest, and the "DAVID GUETTA SUPER LIVE" lettering. The graffiti-like aesthetic perfectly reflects the urban, electronic music culture that Guetta represents.
This collaboration demonstrates Medicom Toys' global approach to Series 50: In addition to Japanese cult phenomena, international superstars are also finding their way into the BE@RBRICK world. David Guetta, one of the most successful DJs worldwide with over 15 million singles sold, is bringing the electronic dance music scene into the world of collectible figures for the first time.
Availability: This exclusive Secret figure is available for pre-order now – a unique collector's item that combines the worlds of electronic music and Japanese toy culture in a spectacular way!
Team Ikuzawa - Legendary Japanese motorsport meets Bearbrick
Another extraordinary Secret figure honors Japanese motorsport history: Team Ikuzawa with the iconic slogan "Choice of Racing Enthusiasts" !
This special collaboration pays tribute to Tetsu Ikuzawa, a legend of Japanese motorsport and the first Japanese driver to regularly compete in European championships. Born in 1942, the racing driver won the Japanese Grand Prix in 1964 and 1967 and was one of the first Japanese drivers to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The Secret figure's design features the classic white racing overalls with a red helmet—a tribute to the original Team Ikuzawa colors of the 1970s and 1980s. After retiring, Ikuzawa founded his own team, later known as Team Ikuzawa, which enjoyed success in the All-Japan Formula Two Championship.
Today, the legacy of Mai Ikuzawa, Tetsu's daughter, continues, establishing Team Ikuzawa as a cultural force in the automotive world. The brand blends Japanese aesthetics with English humor and serious motorsport credibility, collaborating with artists like Daniel Arsham and luxury brands like TAG Heuer.
This Bearbrick Secret figure brings the rich history of Japanese motorsports to a new generation of collectors while honoring a true pioneer of the racing scene.
Availability: This historically significant Secret figure is available for pre-order now - a must-have for motorsport enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates the history of Japanese racing!
Subware - Legendary 90s NYC Streetwear Pioneers
One of the most culturally significant Secret figures of the Series 50 honors Subware - the legendary streetwear brand that laid the foundations for today's collaboration culture back in the 90s!
Founded in 1993 by famed graffiti artist Josh "Stash" Franklin in Brooklyn, New York, Subware was one of the first brands to combine art and fashion in a revolutionary way. Its signature "Visual Maintenance" slogan and iconic "S" logo became symbols of an era when streetwear was still underground and possessed true cultural relevance.
Stash , who was already spray-painting subways in the '80s alongside legends like Futura and Zephyr and exhibiting alongside Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat , made Subware a pioneer of artist collaborations. Long before luxury brands took notice of graffiti artists, Subware was already collaborating with KAWS and Futura—and even with Medicom Toy itself for limited-edition spray-can figurines!
The Secret figure features the classic Subware design in navy blue with the white logo and "Visual Maintenance" lettering. After a long hiatus, Subware has enjoyed a spectacular comeback since 2024 with collaborations such as NEIGHBORHOOD and Supreme – this Bearbrick edition perfectly honors the legacy of a brand that made streetwear history.
Availability: This culturally and historically significant Secret figure is now available for pre-order - a must-have for all fans of authentic 90s streetwear culture and graffiti history!
Biwakuo-kun - Homage to Japan's largest lake
The last Secret figure of Series 50 is a charming surprise: Biwakuo-kun - a cute blue mascot who pays homage to Lake Biwa, Japan's largest freshwater lake!
Located entirely within Shiga Prefecture northeast of Kyoto, Lake Biwa is one of the oldest lakes in the world, dating back over 4 million years. Named after the traditional Japanese stringed instrument "biwa" (due to its similar shape), the lake is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and literature and is often referred to as the "Mother Lake."
The Secret figure depicts Biwakuo-kun as a friendly blue creature with a large head, small black eyes, and a pink mouth—a typical design for Japanese yuru-chara (loose-minded mascots). The blue design reflects the clear blue waters of the lake, while the cute appearance represents the friendly, welcoming nature of the Lake Biwa region.
This Secret figure demonstrates Medicom Toys' appreciation for Japanese regional culture and natural beauty. Lake Biwa is not only ecologically significant, with over 1,000 documented species, but also culturally important to Japan's history. With Biwakuo-kun, Series 50 honors this unique natural landscape.
Availability: This adorable Secret figurine is available for pre-order now—a perfect collectible for anyone who appreciates Japan's natural beauty and regional mascot culture!

This extraordinary figure celebrates the 50th anniversary of the series with a spectacular holographic design on a black base. Distributed throughout the figure are iridescent numbers and symbols that shine in the signature rainbow colors of holography. The striking "50" and other number elements create a fascinating kaleidoscope that pays tribute to the entire Bearbrick history.
This Anniversary Secret is produced in extremely limited numbers and represents the absolute pinnacle for any serious collector. The holographic surface with its iridescent effects makes each figure a unique work of art, displaying different color effects depending on the light.
