    Also those are really cool boxes. As much as o like the Ol bag and header I really really like a good box. (lol)

    So great to see that the mask comes off. I was beginning to doubt after seeing every seem in the preorders uncut.

    got it. I've actually never seen a bearbrick with other sofubi. Bizarre world.

    Someone please explain the interest in this Pushead branded platform toy.
    Yet another bubble waiting to burst, or maybe not.

    I remember when t-shirts advertising jean companies seemed an odd thing.

    I have absolutely no doubt that more than one of these will be ordered with a glide and a left-click atop a Misfits mousepad.

    I don't know how these are even considered Pushead, it's more like a bunch of watercolor-like splotches enveloping a bear. Is he just slapping his name on everything now?

    And haha, shirts advertising pants. I never understood that. I still refuse to wear self-advertising clothing... You already got my money, I don't have to be a walking billboard.

    To be fair - that's Bearbricks. A lot of collabs take an abstract element from an artist's style and use that as the design for the platform toy. That watercolour wash is a big element of a lot of Pushead drawings, even though it ends up being covered up by his linework.

    I can see how some line work would look really cool on a Bearbrick, though... Kind of like a crazy tattoo. I think I just don't really "get" platform toys. :?

    Be@rbricks generally garner the same responses. :lol:

    Just for a balanced opinion . . . I like it! :twisted:

    Probably in the WAY minority but I love the hamburger lamp. Not a huge fan of the all black because you can't see the details but it's pretty cool .

    Glad to see this, colours look a bit different from the originals (which isn't a bad thing) but happy to see that the mask comes off.

    FWIW I like this pushead thing and I'm not really a fan (not against it either) of his work. I just thought that all over watercolor look on something so big is cool.

    I also had no idea you could get a 11" bearbrick for ~100$ , I will have to keep this in mind..

    I'm not sure if the same process will be used for this new blue version but the original "secret" release of the 100% Pushead wash brick last year used a method that produced unique patterns on every bearbrick. The texture is definitely the same as the secret version (just different colour) but as this is just a standard release they may just go with a reproduced print of an identical watercolour wash for these.

    BTW keep your eyes peeled Leili - there are a ton of great 400% Bearbrick releases from over the years out there for around $100. They are some of the most sturdy, well-built toys I have ever owned :)

    the 400% pushead bearbricks, which were a standard release, also had the same unique watercolor patters applied :D
    fear not, from cjmart's listing: "※Due to the water printing, there are individual differences in this product."

    Just an fyi... If you haven't seen a video of water-printing (I know there's another name for it, but I just can't think of it right now) then you definitely have to take a moment to do so.
    Basically, paint is floated on the surface of a water tank and then an object is dipped in, with the floated paint "wrapping around" the object as its dipped. It's absolutely wild to watch!
