The charming dolphin character originally appeared in the iconic music video for their song \"THERAPY\" and quickly became a staple of the experimental duo's live performances. Conceived as a satirical commentary on Japanese pseudo-scientific culture, Dolphin-kun has evolved into a pop culture phenomenon in its own right, resonating far beyond the underground music scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe design of this SECRET edition masterfully translates the original's characteristic vintage finger puppet style to the Bearbrick form. The white head with its distinctive large yellow eyes and stylized red-orange beak gives the figure that naively endearing expression that made Dolphin-kun a beloved mascot. The deep blue limbs form a striking contrast to the white chest, creating a minimalist color scheme reminiscent of classic 1970s Japanese toy aesthetics. This deliberate reduction to a few colors and clean lines perfectly reflects group_inou's experimental approach, which blends electronic sounds, hip-hop, hardcore, and pop into a unique sonic signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs the SECRET variant of Series 35 from 2017, this Bearbrick not only represents the creative intersection between Japanese underground music culture and the designer toy scene, but also Medicom Toy's ability to make subcultures accessible to a wider collector audience. For fans of group_inou, this figure is an essential piece of music history, while designer toy enthusiasts will appreciate the successful realization of a distinctive character in the minimalist Bearbrick format.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52302890139914,"sku":"B@S3514","price":49.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-35-artist-dolphin-kun-100-secret-bild.webp?v=1766437065","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.co.uk\/products\/bearbrick-series-35-artist-dolphin-kun-group-inou-100-secret","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
