The most famous bear in Japanese toys has not escaped the Hokuto Shinken. The BE@RBRICK by Medicom Toy, that bear silhouette released in hundreds of collaborations since 2001, has crossed paths with Hokuto no Ken on several occasions, from the small formats of 2007 to the imposing 400% figures of the 40th anniversary.

The 400% figures for the 40th anniversary
In May 2024, as part of the series’ 40th anniversary campaign, Medicom released the BE@RBRICK Kenshiro 400%, approximately 28 cm tall, priced at 18,480 yen. The bear dons the jacket and seven scars of Kenshiro, and features Medicom’s du-al authentication system. Raoh joined him in December 2025, same format and same price, completing the fratricidal duo. Two pieces sold through the brand’s usual channels, with pre-orders on MCT Tokyo and then Medicom stores.
The bear with 7,777 movie tickets
The first encounter between the bear and the franchise actually dates back to 2007, and it didn’t take place in stores but at the movies. For the release of the film Raoh-den Gekito no Sho during Golden Week, a set of five movie tickets sold for 6,500 yen at theaters included an exclusive 100% BE@RBRICK approximately 7 cm tall, with a black and translucent body adorned only with the seven scars, and the film’s logo on its back. The print run was limited to 7,777 sets. A Kenshiro “ARTIST” also appeared in the brand’s numbered blind boxes.
Finding them today
The recent 400% figures can still be found at prices close to retail on the secondary market, primarily on Mercari and Yahoo Auctions, while the 100% from 2007 require more patience. Beware of counterfeits, a well-known plague in the Bearbrick world; the du-al system on recent pieces allows you to verify authenticity. As the fourth Medicom product line for the franchise after the RAH, the ASM, and the Legend Vinyl Warriors, the bear confirms the lasting attachment of the Shibuya-based brand to Hokuto no Ken.
