Product details
Product description
Fujio Akatsuka (1935–2008) is considered the godfather of Japanese gag manga – a storyteller who shaped entire generations with works like Tensai Bakabon, Osomatsu-kun, and Himitsu no Akko-chan, and popularized absurd, anarchic humor in Japanese pop culture. His cosmos also gave us Unagi-Inu, the "Eel-Dog": a charmingly quirky hybrid creature resulting from the union of a dog father and an eel mother – Akatsuka logic in its purest form, born from a love that transcends species boundaries. The character became so popular that in the late 1970s, it even got its own four-panel manga and later served for years as the mascot of the city of Hamamatsu on the eel-rich Hamana Lagoon.
It is precisely this bizarre creature that Medicom Toy translates into the iconic bear shape here. A matte, deep black body meets the unmistakable features of the original: a wide, mouse-like pair of ears, large round googly eyes, finely drawn whiskers, and a wide-open mouth with two protruding incisors. A rich yellow, downward-tapering field extends across the chest and belly, ending between the legs in the typical eel fin, thus uniting dog and fish in one body. A small X on the yellow belly adds a playful accent and transfers the charm of the cartoon original into three dimensions.
The figure was released in January 2022 as part of the BE@RBRICK Series 43, with which Medicom Toy celebrated the 20th anniversary of its cult series. In the classic 100% size of about 7 cm, it is located in the Artist genre of the blind box series – specifically as its hidden SECRET, i.e., as that rare variant that only reveals itself to the persistent. For you as a collector, this is a double attraction: You not only secure one of the rare surprise figures of the series, but also a charming tribute to a Japanese comic legend who rarely makes the leap into the vinyl world. Anyone looking for Bearbricks with a real narrative rather than just a superficial appearance will find a small icon with a big story here.

I purchased another Bearbrick

... and once again the service was impeccable. I had some special requests for the seller, who kindly accommodated them. The package was carefully packed, the item was perfect and flawless, and it came with a very welcome gift. I will definitely purchase from Zaiser Art again.
Great purchase, great customer service

I bought my first Be@rbrick Bear, Jean-Michel Basquiat, absolutely love it. There was an issue with delivery of my package due to UK Customs but Michael Z. was really helpful and sorted it really quickly. I am sure this will not be my last Be@rbrick purchase!

Most Bearbricks are made of high-quality plastic (ABS plastic), unless otherwise stated in the specifications.

How does the quality and mobility of this model differ from other sizes?
Medicom Toy's production quality is very high across all sizes. Larger models (400% or 1000%) often offer more space for detailed designs. However, the joints vary depending on the size: In larger models (400% and 1000%), the arms and legs usually rotate in a single plane. Smaller Bearbricks (especially 100% and 200%) often have ball joints, allowing for more flexible movement of the limbs.
