BE@RBRICK Series 43 "Pushead" (100%) – SECRET

Behind the name Pushead is the US artist Brian Schroeder – a cult figure at the intersection of hardcore punk, heavy metal, and the skateboard scene. Originally the singer of the band Septic Death, he made a name for himself from the early 1980s with extremely detailed, morbid ink drawings: craggy skulls and skeletons, finely cross-hatched and darkly atmospheric. His imagery shaped the visual identity of Metallica – from the notorious "Damage, Inc." skull to the cover of "St. Anger" – as well as artworks for the Misfits, Thrasher magazine, and the legendary Zorlac skateboards. He has a long series of coveted vinyl collaborations with Medicom Toy.

For the BE@RBRICK Series 43, Pushead transfers his unmistakable style to the bear silhouette – as an all-over printed variant: a dense, organic network of his typical line work extends over the head, ears, body, and limbs, rendered in a toxic-glowing green with amber and orange accents and deep black shadow zones. The glossy surface makes the pattern appear almost like a proliferating, viscous mass – at first glance almost like foliage or water, but on closer inspection, recognizable as gnarled bone and skull work. This Bearbrick thus deliberately distinguishes itself from the clean graphics of many series figures and brings raw, almost uncanny depth to the small format.

Released in January 2022, the figure belongs to Series 43, with which Medicom Toy celebrated two anniversaries at once – 20 years of Bearbrick and 25 years of Medicom Toy. In the 100% size of approximately 7 cm, the Pushead is one of the hardest motifs to pull from the blind box series, making it a true chase piece for both hunters and collectors. For you, getting it is doubly rewarding: you not only get one of the rare surprise figures from the series, but also an object that bundles music history, skate culture, and dark art into a single figure. Anyone looking for Bearbricks beyond pretty licensed motifs and who appreciates Pushead's world of Metallica artwork and underground aesthetics will find a real statement piece for their shelf here.
