Medicom Toy

Medicom Toy BE@RBRICK Andy Warhol x Marilyn Monroe #2.

• Includes one 1000% BE@RBRICK

For the second Marilyn Monroe BE@RBRICK in collaboration with Andy Warhol’s estate, Medicom Toy applied his 1962 artwork The Marilyn Diptych to the 1000% BE@RBRICK. With a vibrant pink, blue and yellow coating, the BE@RBRICK features Warhol’s signature on the rear.

First produced in 2001, BE@RBRICKs were created by Medicom Toy founder, Tatsuhiko Akashi, as promotional gifts for guests of the World Character Convention in Tokyo. A crossover between Medicom’s early humanoid toy, the “Kubrick,” and the ever-popular teddy bear, BE@RBRICKs are instantly identifiable in their shape, and each BE@RBRICK is a white canvas for creativity. 

Each BE@RBRICK follows a similar build — a swivel head and waist, with ball-joint arms and legs — and comes in a variety of sizes ranging from 3.5cm to 70cm. Collaborations range from artists like Jackson Pollock, KAWS and Hajime Sorayama to fashion brands like BAPE, Chanel and Jimmy Choo, as well as other culturally relevant groups like the Van Gogh Museum, Disney, Nike and Colette. 

Their far-reaching scope and dominant presence in the collectibles landscape have made the BE@RBRICK one of the most sought-after and well-recognizable collectibles in the market.
