Introducing a new BE@RBRICK designed by popular illustrator Asami Matsumura, whose work is known for harmonizing nostalgia and novelty with its comic book aesthetic. Titled "BE@RBRICK STAR BURST MAGIC," we present a design that vintage enthusiasts will adore!

Asami Matsumura, an illustrator gaining global attention, has exhibited her work at events like "Halloween Art Jam" held at Seibu Shibuya in 2020 and MEDICOM TOY's pop-up event "AKASHIC RECORDS." While she recently expanded her activities with the release of her popular character "MARIA" as a doll last year, it has now been announced that she has designed a BE@RBRICK.

The "BE@RBRICK STAR BURST MAGIC" is inspired by the starburst, an icon of mid-century design. Fully leveraging Matsumura's passion for vintage items, the main color is a sophisticated dark blue. The abdomen is crafted from fluorescent clear material that reacts to blacklight, and it houses a battery-operated starburst object that illuminates. This unique specification is sure to captivate many.

We confidently recommend this novel BE@RBRICK not only to vintage furniture collectors but also to enthusiasts of fifties and space-themed items. We hope you'll display it with a blacklight.
