About this Manufacturer
Medicom Toy is a Japanese brand specializing in the creation of collection toys and figurines since 1996. It has been founded by Tatsuhiko Akashi. It all started with the Kubrick, a so -called standard figurine at the Lego and Playmobil border, a figurine made up of 9 blocks (in Japanese 九 (Kyū) means 9). This new format quickly was very successful and the kubricks will quickly take many licenses from Star Wars to the Planet of the Apes. In parallel Medicom Toy Produced toys of collecting art, sold in limited quantities and very quickly develops many ranges with the RAH (Real Action Heroes), the Mafex (Magical Action Figures Ex), the VCD (Vinyl Collectible Dolls) or even UDF (Ultra Detail Figure). But the planetary success will come with the Be@rbrick, an adaptation of the kubrick in a small bear version with a small plump belly. These figurines in the form of printed bear with different drawings and patterns will make the success of Medicom Toy putting the BE@RBRICK At the Pantheon of designer toy. Many artists and Brands have collaborated on this line of products, in particular Nike, Keith Haring or Kaws, but we also find characters from Movie theater from universes such David Flores was born in Tulare, California. He graduated High School from Tulare Union High School in Tulare California, attended college in Santa Barbara and left with an Degree in graphic design. After graduation Flores began his career as a commercial artist in the Skateboarding industry. Mickey Mouse has been a significant figure in the designer toy world, inspiring numerous art toy collaborations that reinterpret the beloved Disney character in unique and artistic ways. These collectibles range from stylized vinyl figures to high-end sculptures, blending pop culture nostalgia with contemporary art and streetwear influences. Medicom Toy has produced multiple Mickey Mouse-themed BE@RBRICK figures, featuring classic, modern, and experimental designs. These range from vintage black-and-white Mickey to collaborations with streetwear brands like BAPE and fragment design. In collaboration with Disney, street artist KAWS created a now-iconic Companion Mickey, which reimagines Mickey Mouse in his signature “X” eyes and slouched posture, giving the character a melancholic and deconstructed look. Various artists, including Ron English and Sket One, have produced unofficial Mickey-inspired art toys that offer satirical, surreal, or edgy interpretations of the classic Disney icon.
