Bearbrick (rendered Be@rbrick) is a collectible toy which are designed and produced by the Japanese company MediCom Toy Incorporated. They were first released in 2001 and are highly saught out by fans.[1] Since 2003 MediCom have partnered with James Lavelle and UNKLE on several occasions to create various Bearbrick X UNKLE designs. As well as Bearbrick's, MediCom is responsible for the Kubrick series of toys as well. For UNKLE X Kubrick collaborations see: Kubrick.

The Unkle - Secret Pattern Be@rbrick Series 6 was the first Unkle X Bearbrick collaboration, and was released in May 2003.[2]

The figure is clear, with a camouflage pattern, and a silver circular feature on the front.[3]

The Unkle Bearbrick was not advertised along with the rest of the series released at the time, and so is known as a 'Secret' design. Because Bearbricks are sold in a closed box, known as a 'blind box', you don't know which design you will receive until you have opened it. You have a 1/192 chance of recieving the Unkle design.[4]
