Rolito unleashes new Patapon toy
With the release of Sony's second installment of rhythm/strategy game Patapon due in Japan in just days, Rolito -- the French designer who lent his "delicious vectorial poison" to the game -- has shown off his latest related toy, a new pop-art patterned Bearbrick from Medicom.
While it lacks the contrast and visual punch of his first Bearbrick, this one has the added benefit of actually being released to the public (the first being doled out by Sony and others as promotional items), albeit as part of a blindbox series. December will also see the release of a cell strap set of individual Patapon 'ultra detail' figures (I'm partial to the lackluster second and the grimacing fourth).

Heh! I managed to get my hands on the original Patpon Be@rbrick through eBay *bless that Japanese seller* and absolutely adore the little guy. He fits snug inside the promotional drum + stickers that came with the press kit ;)
Love the new one, too. Has it's own charm. Now, to budget for it's release.
