Bearbrick Karimoku Daruma 2 400%

The Bearbrick Karimoku Daruma 2 400% is a continuation of one of the most technically ambitious and culturally resonant ongoing partnerships in the Bearbrick universe, bringing together Medicom Toy's iconic bear-shaped collectible format with Karimoku, the Japanese furniture manufacturer that has spent decades establishing itself as one of the country's most respected producers of premium domestic wood goods. The Karimoku collaboration series is the gold standard for Bearbrick wood productions, applying the craftsmanship and material knowledge of a company that has been working with Japanese timber since 1940 to Medicom's most beloved collectible platform in ways that no other manufacturer in the Bearbrick ecosystem can replicate. The Daruma 2 is the sequel to Karimoku's earlier Daruma-themed Bearbrick, drawing on the Daruma doll tradition of Japanese folk culture, those rounded, red papier-mache figures modeled after the Bodhidharma that are used as good luck charms and symbols of perseverance throughout Japanese life. The 400% scale at approximately 11 inches stands as the most displayable and most coveted size in the collector community, large enough to serve as a focal point in any interior context while intimate enough to be held and examined up close for the grain, finish, and woodworking detail that makes every Karimoku Bearbrick unique. The intersection of the Daruma visual language with the Bearbrick silhouette is one of the most culturally considered marriages the entire Karimoku collaboration series has produced, honoring Japanese folk tradition through contemporary collectible art with the authenticity that only Karimoku's master craftsmen could deliver.

Every Karimoku Bearbrick carries slight natural variations in wood grain and tone that make each piece genuinely one-of-a-kind, and the Daruma 2 at 400% represents one of the most sought-after and culturally specific entries in the entire Karimoku series.

The Bearbrick Karimoku Daruma 2 400% was released on April 1, 2022 with a retail price of $1,150.
