BE@RBRICK U.F.O. 3rd Version (1000%)

Description

Alan Smithee Film is a Japanese creative label that operates at the intersection of streetwear, art, and pop culture. The name itself is a reference to the famous Hollywood pseudonym “Alan Smithee,” which directors used when they wanted to disassociate themselves from their own films – an ironic commentary on authorship and creative identity. With the first two versions of the U.F.O. series, the collaboration with Medicom Toy already caused a stir among collectors. Now, the BE@RBRICK U.F.O. 3rd Version (1000%) continues this coveted series with a completely new design concept that combines astronomy, playfulness, and cutting-edge lighting technology.

The body of this impressive Bearbrick is fully covered with a dark gray, almost black print that is reminiscent of historical star charts and astronomical navigation tables. Fine white lines, coordinate specifications, constellation markings, and numbers run across the head, arms, legs, and torso, creating an aesthetic that evokes the vastness of space – fitting for the U.F.O. theme of the series. The belly area stands out from the dark body as a contrasting white, transparent field. On the front, three hand gestures – rock, paper, scissors – are depicted in vibrant neon colors (green, pink, and yellow), a playful and humorous element that wittily breaks the seriousness of the cosmic design. On the back, the lettering “ALAN SMITHEE FILM” is emblazoned in the same three colors on striking color blocks. The absolute highlight, however, is the integrated LED lighting in the belly area: at the touch of a button, the light changes between warm orange, vibrant pink, and cool turquoise, making the transparent surface glow in different moods and giving the Bearbrick a fascinating presence, especially in the dark.

With its impressive height of approx. 70 cm, this 1000% Bearbrick is a true statement piece that will be an eye-catcher in any collection and living space. The U.F.O. series by Alan Smithee Film is one of the most sought-after collaborations within the Bearbrick world, and as the third iteration, this model builds on the exclusivity of its predecessors. The combination of the detailed star chart print, the playful neon hand gestures, and the changing LED illumination makes this version a technically and aesthetically outstanding collector’s item.

Whether as the centerpiece of your Bearbrick collection, as an extraordinary design object with ambient lighting, or as a gift for lovers of street art and pop culture – the BE@RBRICK U.F.O. 3rd Version (1000%) uniquely combines art, humor, and technology. Secure this limited model before it disappears from the radar.
