The revealed masterpieces of BE@RBRICK Series 51: A (not) complete preview

We've identified the first 16 officially announced models for you and assigned them to their respective categories. Get ready to be amazed by the variety and attention to detail of this December collection!

Theme BASIC: Fresh turquoise for the end of the year

Right at the start, we're greeted by the BASIC character, who in this edition shines in a fresh turquoise hue and proudly displays a striking white letter on his chest. As a cornerstone of every Bearbrick series, the "Basic" character represents a letter of the iconic name "BE@RBRICK" and is always rendered in a distinctive color – an absolute must-have for any serious collector. The cool, light turquoise evokes clear water or a winter sky and provides a refreshing, serene conclusion to the 2025 collecting year.

Theme JELLYBEAN: Iridescent mother-of-pearl sheen like a gemstone

Let's move on to the JELLYBEAN type, which boasts a breathtaking color concept in this edition. This time, it presents itself as a shimmering Bearbrick with an iridescent mother-of-pearl effect that refracts light in all the facets of the rainbow. The surface displays a fascinating interplay of pink, purple, soft yellow, and holographic reflections reminiscent of a cut opal or mother-of-pearl. The geometric facet pattern enhances the gemstone character and makes the Bearbrick shimmer in different colors depending on the angle of the light. The Jellybean type is known for its translucent and iridescent designs, and this iridescent variant is an absolute showstopper and a true eye-catcher for all fans of spectacular, light-reflecting collectibles. The exact story behind this motif remains to be seen...

Theme Pattern: Breton Bigodenne embroidery as an EgonLab statement

An unexpected shift in perspective for EgonLab: The Parisian avant-garde label, known for monochromatic rebellion and deconstructed tailoring, makes traditional Bigodenne embroidery from Pont-l'Abbé the centerpiece of its Spring/Summer 2026 collection with this PATTERN Bearbrick. The signature floral motifs in vibrant blue, soft pink, and fresh green on a white background transform this 7 cm Bearbrick into a lively homage to centuries-old French craftsmanship. Bigodenne embroidery originates from the Pays Bigouden region in Brittany, where, since the 19th century, embroiderers of exceptional skill have adorned the legendary folk costumes. Imaginative blossoms, intertwined tendrils, and ornamental compositions—as historically stitched onto the famous tall Bigouden headdresses—adorn the body, arms, and legs of this Bearbrick. The deep blue ears, nose, hands, and feet create a striking contrast to the light base, making the vibrant colors of the embroidery shine even more intensely. With this design, EgonLab proves that innovation and tradition need not be opposites – a statement that combines Breton cultural heritage with Japanese designer toy culture and will delight collectors who value cultural dialogue.

Theme FLAG: Vatican City - The smallest state in the world

Following the pattern type, we find the FLAG edition. A classic Bearbrick, its left half in vibrant yellow and its right half in pure white, divided vertically by a precise line. On the white side are the crossed keys of St. Peter and the papal tiara—the unmistakable symbols of Vatican City. The "Flag" type represents the colors and symbols of a national flag, and this yellow and white combination with the papal insignia is unique to the Vatican, the smallest independent state in the world, covering only 0.44 km². A fitting representation of a state of immense historical and cultural significance!

Theme HORROR: Eddie "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden

A truly terrifying figure (or should we say, a genuine rock horror?) is Eddie in his most iconic incarnation: "The Trooper" from the eponymous 1983 single cover! With his painted zombie face, intense eyes, and the characteristic red and yellow lightning bolt pattern above his nose, Eddie wears the uniform of a British Redcoat soldier from the Crimean War – a red tunic with gold buttons, white crossbands, blue trousers, and brown boots. The uniform shows battle scars and grime, bringing the battle to life. Eddie has been the immortal mascot of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden since 1980 and has appeared on almost every album cover – from "The Number of the Beast" to "Powerslave." Inspired by the Light Brigade charge in the Crimean War of 1854, "The Trooper" is one of the most famous Iron Maiden songs of all time. An absolute must-have for music lovers and heavy metal fans.

Theme SF: Marigan from the stop-motion film Junk World

A sci-fi typeface depicts the lovable Marigan from Takahide Hori's new stop-motion masterpiece, "Junk World" (2025). With his cream-colored body, gray ears, large dark eyes, black spots on his arms, and signature colorful geometric pattern on his chest (orange and blue rays with a yellow center), Marigan is one of the "Mulligans"—artificial life forms that inhabit the underground world. The small blue cone-shaped decoration on his head adds to his charm. Junk World is the highly anticipated prequel to Junk Head and takes place 1,042 years before the events of the first film. Released in Japan in June 2025, the film garnered international acclaim at the Toronto International Film Festival. This Bearbrick brings one of the most iconic characters from Hori's dystopian underground world to your collection. Licensed by Universal City Studios LLC.

Theme CUTE: Wicked enchants with Glinda and Elphaba

The cuteness factor is doubly represented – with the two main characters from the Broadway megahit "Wicked"! Glinda , the Good Witch of the North , shines in her elegant light blue ball gown with intricate flourishes and swirls of pink and purple on the bodice, golden shoulder appliqués, blonde hair with elaborately decorated silver ears, and large brown eyes. Her delicate, doll-like face with rosy cheeks and a radiant smile perfectly embodies her grace and kindness.

Her friend Elphaba , the future Wicked Witch of the West , is depicted with her characteristic green skin , brown hair beneath a black pointed hat with green stitching, large grey-green eyes, and rosy cheeks. She wears her iconic black outfit with green accents—a black jacket with an asymmetrical cut and green stitching that underscores her rebellious nature, while her green hands emphasize her unique identity.

These two Bearbricks celebrate the musical that tells the backstory of "The Wizard of Oz" and the story of an unlikely friendship between two very different women. A perfect complement to the movie "Wicked: For Good," which was released in November 2024 and became a worldwide success. Licensed by Universal City Studios LLC.

Theme ANIMAL: ANDY the Mouse by Seiji Matsumoto

Classified here as an ANIMAL type, we have ANDY the Mouse – the main character created by Japanese artist Seiji Matsumoto! This beige-gray mouse with round ears, large eyes with highlights, and a small black nose embodies Matsumoto's philosophy of "Happiness in Everyday Life" (日常の幸せ). First introduced in 2017, ANDY has since collaborated with NIKE, UNIQLO, and The New York Times. A "boy without a tail," inspired by a mouse on the NYC subway and named after Matsumoto's Maltese dog, with an obsession for cheese. Licensed by Seiji Matsumoto.

Theme HERO: Snake Eyes from GI Joe

The HERO guy presents a legend of the action figure world: Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe! The mysterious ninja commando is dressed all in black, with his signature visor, tactical gear, and katana strapped to his back. A favorite G.I. Joe character since 1982, Snake Eyes perfectly embodies the 1980s action toy era. A must-have for fans of military action figures and retro toys. Licensed by Hasbro.

Theme ARTIST: Pop-Up Pirate by TOMY

An ARTIST-style toy that promises pure nostalgia! Pop-Up Pirate is one of the most iconic Japanese children's games since 1975. The Bearbrick depicts the pirate with a pink bandana, black eye patch, mustache, and the characteristic blue and white striped sailor shirt. Over 20 million units have been sold worldwide, and the game is popular in 47 countries. In 2025, Pop-Up Pirate celebrates its 50th anniversary with a return to the original 1975 rules. A perfect blend of toy history and Bearbrick culture! Licensed by TOMY.

Theme ARTIST: Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica

Another ARTIST type depicts one of the most controversial characters in anime history: Kyubey, the "Messenger of Magic" from Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica (2011)! With his white fur, four ears (two cat ears plus two long tassel ears with pink and white gradients), red/pink eyes, and gold rings, this Bearbrick perfectly embodies the character's duality—cute looks meets a cold, calculating nature. Kyubey is a member of the emotionless "Incubators" race and is famous for his catchphrase: "Make a contract with me and become a magical girl!" Licensed by Magica Quartet/Aniplex.

Theme ARTIST: Barbie meets Andy Warhol

The ARTIST type combines two icons of American pop culture! This Bearbrick reproduces Andy Warhol's famous 1986 painting "Barbie, Portrait of BillyBoy*," created during the artist's final year. The all-over design features recurring portraits of Barbie's face—blonde hair, blue eyes, radiant smile—against a vibrant red and gold background in Warhol's signature screen-print style. The fascinating story: Warhol wanted to paint his friend BillyBoy*, who owned a collection of over 20,000 Barbie dolls. BillyBoy* replied, "If you want to paint my portrait, paint Barbie, because Barbie, c'est moi!" The original painting sold at auction for over $1.1 million in 2014. Licensed by Mattel.

Theme ARTIST: I'm donut ? – Japan’s most viral donut sensation

An especially adorable ARTIST character celebrates one of Japan's hottest culinary sensations! The I'm donut? Bearbrick features a cute baby design with a yellow body, transparent gray ears, a sweet smile, a white bib, and the iconic black question mark on its tummy. The question mark is the trademark of Chef Ryouta Hirako's donut brand, which has been causing hours-long queues in Japan with its nama donuts (nama = fresh) since 2021. In April 2025, the first branch outside of Japan opened in New York's Times Square. The design perfectly embodies the playful philosophy: "I'm donut?" – a question that constantly challenges what a donut can be. Licensed by I'm donut?

Theme ARTIST: Chupa Chups – Salvador Dalí's sweet legacy

A colorful artist celebrates a Spanish cult brand! The Chupa Chups Bearbrick features asymmetrical ears (red and yellow), a psychedelic all-over pattern of swirling circles in orange, yellow, green, turquoise, and pink, the iconic Chupa Chups logo (yellow flower) on its chest, and asymmetrical hands (blue and pink). The brand was founded in Spain in 1958 by Enric Bernat, and the famous logo was designed by Salvador Dalí in 1969—sketched in just one hour! Today, over 12 billion lollipops are sold annually in more than 150 countries. A perfect fusion of commerce and art! Licensed by Chupa Chups.

Theme ARTIST: Tamagotchi – 90s nostalgia in Bearbrick form

Another ARTIST design brings back the '90s! The Tamagotchi Bearbrick features a light blue face with a clock design (12, 9, 3 digits), gray ears with a blue border, a yellow square (LCD display), arrows (control buttons), and the Japanese text "たまごっち べぬぶりっく". The all-over pattern shows colorful Tamagotchi characters (pink, blue, yellow, green, black) – from Mametchi to Kuchipatchi. Introduced by Bandai in 1996, the virtual pet sold over 82 million units by 2010 and taught an entire generation empathy, time management, and responsibility. The clock design perfectly symbolizes the time-based nurturing mechanics. Licensed by BANDAI.

The Mystery of Secrets - First Revelations!

As with every Bearbrick series, Medicom Toy stays true to its reputation with Series 51, maintaining the suspense: There will, of course, be the mysterious Secret models! These are produced in significantly smaller quantities and are usually only revealed after the official release, when it's time to unbox. They can be surprising variations of existing figures or completely new, unannounced collaborations.

But this time, there are already some official revelations! Medicom Toy has announced two 400% models for May 2026, whose 100% variants will most likely be included as Secret Variants in Series 51:

Eddie "Killers" [Iron Maiden] :

The legendary incarnation of Eddie from the 1981 album "Killers"—with his skeletal face, wild grey hair, and iconic grey outfit. While "The Trooper" Eddie is officially featured in the series, this classic "Killers" version will be a secret for true Iron Maiden fans!

Storm Shadow [GI Joe] :

The mysterious white ninja and nemesis of Snake Eyes! With his full white ninja suit, black sash with the red cobra logo, white face shield, and gray forearms, Storm Shadow is one of the most iconic G.I. Joe characters. A perfect complement to the official Snake Eyes, he will complete the G.I. Joe collection!

Furthermore, we have made further assumptions about which Bearbricks might be included in Series 51 as additional SECRET variants:

• Wicked : In addition to Glinda and Elphaba, Fiyero, the Wizard of Oz, or alternative costume versions of the two witches could also appear.
• Madoka Magica : Since Kyubey is present, magical girls like Madoka Kaname, Homura Akemi, or Mami Tomoe could appear as secrets.
• Chupa Chups/Tamagotchi : Different flavors or character variations
• Andy the Mouse : LITTLE THE CAT (Andy's friend) or alternative Andy designs

The hunt for these rare and often coveted secrets is part of the special appeal of collecting and makes every blind box opening a small adventure!
