{"product_id":"bearbrick-series-1-artist-hiroto-komoto-100","title":"BE@RBRICK Series 1 Artist \"Hiroto\" [Kōmoto] (100%)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe very first BE@RBRICK Series in 2001 kicked off a collecting movement that would forever change designer toys. In the coveted Artist category of this premiere series, artist Kōmoto contributed a design titled \"Hiroto,\" which is still considered a raw, expressive statement today. While many early Bearbricks focused on clear graphics, this model takes the opposite approach: spontaneous gesture, controlled randomness, and uncompromising imagery reminiscent of action painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a creamy white, matte surface, a powerful red paint splatter explodes in the middle of the figure's head, with individual drops running down the face. From the splatter, streaks of dripping red paint extend across the chest, forearms, hands, and feet, as if liquid paint had run down from above and dried on the smooth surface. A small red star motif on one of the round ears adds a playful touch and breaks up the dramatic effect. The contrast between pure white and intense red gives the compact bear shape a strong, almost painterly presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure comes in the handy 100% format, approximately 7 cm tall, with the classic movable joints on the head, arms, and legs. As part of the very first series, this piece holds a special historical significance and is a sought-after foundation for any Bearbrick collection for collectors. Early artist editions from this series are now very difficult to come by.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you value origin, design history, and an expressive look, this model is a true key piece. It looks excellent in a display case, complements any collection with a piece of pioneering history, and is also an idiosyncratic gift for lovers of urban art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53279776276746,"sku":"B@S0109","price":199.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-1-artist-komoto-hiroto-100-herstellerbild.webp?v=1782827703","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.co.uk\/products\/bearbrick-series-1-artist-hiroto-komoto-100","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
