The Patapon BearBrick Vinyl Toy
Posted by Flynn De Marco at 10:00 AM on February 17, 2008
Artist Rolito, the man behind the stylish graphics of Patapon has produced this vinyl toy based on the upcoming PSP game. The toy, which is part of the custom BearBrick series, will be available in stores on Feb. 26th. There's no word on the price, but given the size and what I've seen of other BearBrick prices it should be around $US 5.99 or so. But, don't quote me on that.

Looks a bit naff to me to be honest... like an un-inspired knock off of similar kinda of stuff... looking foward to trying the game though

@Erwin: I hear you knocking there dude, the Kubricks are better.

"Embodiment of Lucifer" I think that is a little extreme!

My Sony rep brought this in just this week! I wouldn't let him leave the shop. I should probably untie him...
Excellent game! I must buy!
Amen

@Pieman2: I did some searching earlier today when I saw this post, as I've never heard of Bearbricks but found this particular one to be quite neat.
The best result I found (for those of us in the United States) was:
rotofugi.com
It's a shop located in Chicago, so if you're in that area, you could probably go check there. They sell the individual blind boxes of Bearbricks for $4 a piece, and the shipping is only a bit over $3 for USPS first class to my location in Florida. Hopefully they'll stock this Patapon version, as I'd love to pick it up.

God I hate Bearbricks. Kubricks are awesome, but I can't stand the bear variety. They are just lame. Example:
Daft Punk Kubricks? Best thing EVER.
Daft Punk Bearbricks? Embodiment of Lucifer.

On a random trivia note, patapon translates to "to throw away" in Tagalog. The game, I wouldn't.

Pssst, bearbricks aren't vinyl. Pretty cool though. For those asking they have bearbricks for just about everything, there's really no reason for them being bears.

@TheMysteriousStranger: Yeah I remember that one. I saw it at tower records a long while back.
I had always thought it was weird tower records carries those and the kubricks.

They had a Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater BearBrick a while back. I'd like to find that.

@Lancehead: If you got a PSP really check out Patapon, since its a rather original game. Plus the characters / animations are just too awesome.

That's semi-adorable. Why the bear, though? :\ Does that have anything to do with the game?

Looks cool, though a bit creepy. I love the Loco Roco and Patapon art style.

it may be $5.99 in stores at release but it will be at least $50 on ebay soon after. I've been collecting Kubricks/Bearbricks for a couple years now, the vast majority have to be imported from Japan or purchased through the secondary market. Expensive...
