my bearbrick collection








i started collecting bearbricks about 6 years ago.
at first i bought lots of them but i would say that in the past 3 years i've only bought
maybe 5 or 6. 
now i only buy bearbricks by artists i like or if they're rare and i like the look of them.




i showed you earlier where my 400% bearbricks are displayed, i showed last week where my 1000% bearbricks are:

now let me show you where i display my 100% bearbricks...
there they are... just to the right of the bobo.







here's a closer look at the display...
not bad !







the top row spell out the word 'bearbrick'
i think they were from series 3 or 4







now let me show you some of the others...

first up, the kaws dissected
which i bought earlier this year. i guess that the next one i should show is...







the original kaws 100% from way back
this was one of the first pieces in my collection. i reckon it's worth a few bob.







working through the rest from the most rare or expensive downwards...

i think this was the special 'artist edition' from series 1. very rare.
funnily enough, i have two of these, so if anybody is interested... ?







this is a nike 'artist edition' also very rare








this is an unkle bearbrick from years ago
when i used to buy them off ebay







and a gloomy bear edition...








next up, a stussy bearbrick from way back
nice and simple.







this is a devilbot edition, check out the little tofu-boys inside working him
maybe i will show you my tofu-boy collection at a later date ? !







another kaws dissected. this was the third edition
the flogging a dead horse edition ?







i can't even remember what this one is. it's quite rare though... honestly.
and you know i like kanji







this is a nike basketball effort
nice face







as is this one. i reckon this would make a great 1000% bearbrick
i do like it when people make wood effect things out of plastic







this was designed by frank kozik
from back when i was a bit of a kozik fan







the next three were designed by futura 2000
i think that's supposed to be an illustration of a mother with a child on her lap giving him a smacking... honestly.















i think all three of these were something to do with parenting... or perhaps i dreamt it ?







the next two are bathing ape camo bearbricks, firstly the green camo...








then the blue camo version







this one is a special kill bill edition... the bride








and the blood splattered bride...
i think these two came free with the japanese release of kill bill on dvd.
i bought them off ebay







these two were designed by eric so
a hong kong artist who i rate







as was this one
i bought this in a coffee shop in new york years ago








with each series of bearbricks, medicom release a flag edition.
series 1 was the usa flag








series 2, the union jack
( you beauty )







i have a few other flag editions, but the only other one i display is this...
brasil.







i bought this andy warhol artist edition in bangkok 3 years ago








and this eames artist edition in bangkok 2 years ago








in tokyo last year i visited the loopwheeler store in harajuku and bought this...
loopwheeler edition flocked bearbrick. they had a 1000% version too which had
it's whole body constructed from loopwheeler fleece. it cost some serious money so i stuck with this 100% version.



you'll be pleased to know that's about it from my collection of postmodern porcelain.
