Wow, what an overly complicated license!

Banda Namco/Sunrise + Medicom + Pepsi

Just the idea of Bandai letting another company use a Gundam mobile suite likeness on a toy is pretty amazing in itself, but to get Pepsi involved is a bit much. Never got the appeal of Be@rbricks, I've always preferred Kubricks.

Why can't our soda come with toys?

I'm also extremely surprised to see Bandai Namco and Medicom toy collaborating. I think for toy collectors who also have deep interest in video games, this is pretty huge!

BTW: I love Medicom Toy, but prefer Be@rbricks over Kubricks. Idk why! I find Kubricks pretty cool, but for some reason I never buy them. lol They're cool, but why not get a bear(!) shaped as your favorite character/person instead? haha

I think my appeal towards Kubricks comes from the fact that they usually have a bunch of extra parts and new heads while Be@rbricks are closer to designer toys and you only have one base model with something different painted over it. Frankly I've never really bought into the whole designer toy thing either, especially when it's like that with the single base model and you pay a premium for new paint alone. I think it's a rip off, but that's just me.
