Medicom's latest blind box drop is in stock now, alongside a strong lineup of Japanese Exclusive Bearbrick Chase Sets including Star Wars, Marvel The Infinity Saga and Mickey and Friends, plus a run of older series still on the shelf. If you're searching for where to buy Bearbrick Series 52 in Leicester, the Midlands, or anywhere in the UK, look no further.
What Is Bearbrick Series 52?
Bearbrick is Medicom Toy's collectible figure line, born in Japan and adopted by collectors, artists, and streetwear heads the world over. Series 52 continues the format that's made it an institution, sealed, randomised 100% scale figures (approximately 7cm), each box a genuine surprise, you don't know which design you've pulled until you open it. That's half the appeal.
The Artists Behind Bearbrick Series 52
What sets each new Bearbrick series apart isn't just the licensed characters, it's the artists Medicom brings in to design original figures alongside them. Series 52 is no exception.
Kiriko Arai contributes Wolf-kun, the Japanese sofubi artist's signature wide-eyed wolf character, already a favourite among art toy collectors long before this Bearbrick crossover.
MNS designs Paul & Hakase, which lands as the secret chase figure in this series — the rarest pull in the box, and the one every collector is hoping for.
The series also includes "B" from BRZRKR, the graphic novel created by Keanu Reeves with writer Matt Kindt and artist Ron Garney, translating the comic's brutal, immortal warrior into Bearbrick form.
Elsewhere in the wider Series 52 line-up, Medicom brings in Japanese illustrator Densuke28 with his Bugreport character, and long-time collaborator Hisashi Imai, guitarist of legendary Japanese rock band BUCK-TICK, continuing a partnership that's spanned several Bearbrick series. Derpy Tiger, pulled from Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters, rounds out the pop-culture crossovers.
It's a line-up that captures exactly what makes Bearbrick worth collecting — fine art, illustration, music, and pop culture, all reduced to the same 7cm silhouette.
