\"LINE\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Medicom Toy for decades has been a purveyor of a line of collectible figurines and other hobby items. But it’s the BE@RBRICK that serves as the brand’s quintessence. Collaborators from the upper echelons of culture have taken on the vinyl figures as canvases for their art, inevitably making them highly coveted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest partner however, makes more than a canvas out of the BE@RBRICK. Ukraine-based RINARO ISODYNAMICS turns one into clay\u2014metaphorically speaking\u2014resculpting it as a portable Bluetooth speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting a functional take on the toy, the BE@RBRICK AUDIO Portable Bluetooth Speaker is introduced in its 400% form. It’s integrated with the audio professional’s QUAD’360, a novel omnidirectional sound technology created particularly for this collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, it’s also embedded with four custom-engineered acoustic drivers installed in the head of the BE@RBRICK. They work in tandem to produce an increased field of sound that maximizes its capabilities given its size. Owners can play their own audio via iOS and Android devices using a simple Bluetooth connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other noteworthy features include the hands of the BE@RBRICK, built with functions that, when twisted, skip the track and alter playback volume. A full stereo configuration may be created by combining all three colors of the BE@RBRICK AUDIO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical specs include 6 hours of portable listening time, a 1.5-hour charging time through USB-C, a replaceable battery, amongst many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those looking to get one can head over to the BE@RBRICK AUDIO store sometime in November. A firm release date hasn’t been disclosed but they’re reported to have an RRP of US$400, and will arrive in three colors: “Clear”, “Smoke”, and “Black”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
