    Have they ever made bearbricks out of precious metals? I’m sure I can remember seeing some bearbricks as jewellery, but I don’t if they were ‘official’ or not.

    I like the photo showing all of the camera men going hysterical over the thing. Whoever shot that is one smart photographer.

    $40,000+ action figures…
