DEATH STRANDING 2’s Sam Porter Bridges is now a BE@RBRICK figure
Japanese collectible toy manufacturer Medicom Toy is releasing the 50th installment of its iconic “BE@RBRICK” figure series.
BE@RBRICKs are a globally popular line of collectible art toys, featuring a standardized, bear-shaped block figure that serves as a canvas for a wide array of designs from artists, brands, and pop culture franchises.
The main numbered series are sold in a “blind box” format, where the specific design inside each package is a surprise, encouraging collecting and trading among fans.
Previous special releases have seen BE@RBRICKs with designs inspired by hololive VTubers, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Tokyo Station.
This landmark 50th series features a typically eclectic mix of licenses, with a key inclusion being a design based on the upcoming PlayStation 5 game, DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH.
The figure is modeled after the game’s protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges, and faithfully recreates his updated in-game suit.
DEATH STRANDING is a video game created by the legendary designer Hideo Kojima and his studio, Kojima Productions.
This new BE@RBRICK release continues the long-standing relationship between the toy manufacturer and the game creator.
The Series 50 lineup includes a total of fourteen different figures to collect.
Other properties represented in this new wave include the animated series The Powerpuff Girls, the hit Netflix show Squid Game, and the classic electronic toy, Furby.
Each BE@RBRICK figure stands at a height of approximately 70 millimeters.
The “BE@RBRICK SERIES 50” has a suggested retail price of 550 yen (approx. $3.70 USD / £2.77 GBP) per individual blind box.
The new series is scheduled to be released on Saturday, the 16th of August, 2025 via retailers such as Amazon Japan.
