{"product_id":"bearbrick-series-1-artist-hanakuma-100","title":"BE@RBRICK Series 1 Artist \"Hanakuma\" (100%)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeries 1, launched in 2001, marked the beginning of an era that would forever change designer toy collecting. In this first series, Medicom Toy introduced selected creatives under the theme of \"Artist,\" who applied their unique touch to the square basic shape of the bear. This particular model brings the idea of Japanese artist Hanakuma to life – known for his raw, unpolished style that deliberately stands apart from sleek, high-gloss aesthetics, instead appearing rough, honest, and immediate. It is precisely this spirit that makes the figure a piece of collector's history from the format's formative years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the bear immediately catches the eye with its delicate pink head, finely drawn eyes, and characteristically nonchalant expression. The body is dressed in a cream-colored martial arts uniform, inspired by a judo or karate gi: crossed lapels, a loosely tied black belt, and a circular emblem with a yellow star on the chest. A red stamp adorns the arm, while the legs feature the blue lettering \"GRAPPLING\" and Japanese characters that appear to be handwritten. The pink-accented feet and hands complete the distinctive look and underscore its artistic, almost sketch-like character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure comes in a handy 100% size, approximately 7 cm tall – the classic standard dimension of the Bearbrick world, ideal for display on a shelf, desk, or in a display case. As part of the very first series, this piece is a sought-after foundation for any serious collection and an authentic testament to the early collaboration between Medicom Toy and the artist scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those who appreciate the roots of Bearbrick culture, this is an expressive object with character and history. Whether as an eye-catcher on a shelf, a conversation starter among connoisseurs, or a thoughtful gift for lovers of Japanese art – this combative bear is an original you should secure before it's gone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53279981895946,"sku":"B@S0110","price":499.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-1-artist-hanakuma-100-herstellerbild.webp?v=1782828005","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.de\/en\/products\/bearbrick-series-1-artist-hanakuma-100","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
