{"product_id":"bearbrick-series-8-stash-ariel-100-secret","title":"BE@RBRICK Series 8 \"Stash \u0026 Ariel\" (100%) - SECRET","description":"\u003cp\u003eCute, emotional, and irresistibly expressive, this Artist Bearbrick from Series 8 of 2004, designed by acclaimed manga artist Chica Umino, presents itself. The \"Cry Baby\" character depicts a crying baby with bright orange hair, large, tearful eyes, rosy cheeks, and a blue pacifier in its mouth. The pastel-colored bib with a pink letter B and turquoise dots, the white diaper with a pink safety pin, and the small pink feet create an aesthetic that balances heartwarming cuteness with melancholic emotionality—typical of Umino's sensitive character drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eChica Umino is one of Japan's most important manga artists, internationally known for her masterpiece \"Honey and Clover,\" which won the prestigious Kodansha Manga Award in 2003 and was later adapted into an anime and live-action film. Her second major series, \"March Comes in Like a Lion,\" about a young shogi player, earned her another Kodansha Manga Award in 2011. Umino's drawing style is unique: she combines Studio Ghibli-inspired aesthetics with emotionally profound characters and a perfect balance between humor and drama. Her works tell of friendship, love, loneliness, and personal growth with a sensitivity that touches readers worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe \"Cry Baby\" Bearbrick perfectly captures this emotional range. The crying baby, with its large, expressive eyes and rolling tears, isn't just cute; it tells a story of vulnerability and unfiltered emotion. According to the product page on the Medicom website, Cry Baby is described as a singer with a mesmerizingly high-pitched voice who blows away the night. When she cries, windows and chandeliers shatter—even Roppongi Hills and Shiodome would be pulverized. This humorous exaggeration combines kawaii culture with a touch of absurdity, making the character more than just a cute baby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe color palette of skin tone, orange, turquoise, pink, and white creates a soft, pastel atmosphere typical of shōjo and josei manga. Standing 7 cm tall in 100% format and featuring the classic nine movable parts, this Bearbrick is a perfect example of how manga aesthetics can be translated into the world of three-dimensional designer toys. A must-have for fans of Chica Umino, manga culture, and anyone who appreciates emotional depth with irresistible cuteness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53454676099338,"sku":"B@S08xx","price":199.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-8-stash-ariel-100-secret-ki-bild.webp?v=1786353969","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.de\/en\/products\/bearbrick-series-8-stash-ariel-100-secret","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
