Brought my hero out...
Had breakfast with him...
Infinity designs on how Medicom can apply on be@rbrick! Honestly, I'm not a big fan of design toys and I regard this figure as a collaboration between design toy and anime. One-Punch Man Bearbrick is Series 32 release and I also like the Bearbrick painted in Singapore flag in the same series. According to the box packaging, 'One Punch Man' Saitama is categorized as rarity: 6.25%. It comes with a 'One Punch Man' card and the pokerface version of Saitama painted on the figure. Even the white cape is paint fused on Bearbrick. Bearbrick ears ain't painted, showing the clear plastic. Basically, this novelty figure is so groofy that I like and decided to do a butter trade with a friend. Undeniably, I'm also a fan of One-Punch Man anime. Lolz.

The world of collectionism doesn’t lack of variety, for that very reason there is place for everyone, albeit being a collector is not for everyone, quite a paradox... It’s curious to know that you’re not so keen of designer toys and yet you gave in to temptation in this case, due to the character involved: One Punch Man - Saitama...
I, on the other hand, do love designer toys, because well, I’m a designer myself so it’s a matter of coherence in my case or "trade-union solidarity" HE, HE... I guess designer toys have that "power of suggestion", after all, either you perceive it or not, there is design involved in every single thing created by industry, including of course the collectibles industry: the Gundams you love were designed by someone else and of course, there is good and bad design, but design is everywhere and in that sense, why not to fall in love with designer toys, huh?...
Actually, the white cape can be made like those in LEGO figurines and added to the figure. I think Medicom saves costs in doing that. Otherwise, it looks very good.
I have actually take more liking towards designer toys lately. In Bearbrick case, to be honest becos of the collaboration with ‘One Punch Man’. Like you mentioned, toys are designed by someone so it only depends on whether it’s mainstream or not. I do understand that designer toys are limited, a lot of time and very manual applications on the figurines. A lot of time and effort that’s why the price is higher for something that may look simple.

So far I see Medicom like do no exception on additional accessory on Bearbrick... We can’t totally say that in toy industry... Never say never...
