ANEVER x Bearbrick Collaboration
Japanese fashion lovers rejoice. Anever and Bearbrick have collaborated on two different styles of bears, and both capture the off-kilter, rainbow mood that has come to be synonymous with everything Anever. Both cute and classy, these figures meet at the crossroads of Bearbrick’s pop culture and fine art creations.
The first release, a clear design decorated with cheerful images of tiny flower petals, appeared in 2021. The next, in a way its sibling’s opposite, is an opaque, black design with the same petal-like splashes of color. Both versions seem right at home on the much-loved teddy bear body because of the playfulness of the imagery.
Both characters are available in 1000% and a 400% + 100% set.
About ANEVER
Celebrated Japanese designer Kunihiko Morinaga joined forces with worldwide fashion brand Onward Kashiyama to create Anever. Morinaga says that he takes his inspiration from the phrase “God is in the details,” and Anever embodies this philosophy down to the smallest feature.
Anever fans know that this brand revels in the delicate pleasure of nature. By encasing real flowers in resin, Anever’s aesthetic imagery aims to capture the moment when blossoms first open. It’s as if the designer manages to embody springtime with every piece. Anever’s unmistakable, classic look adorns merchandise for men and women, including accessories, handbags, apparel, frames, vases, and more.
True to the natural world these items honor, no two Anever works are the same. The point with these pieces is to slow time, as if the gentle petals are perpetually in bloom.
About Bearbrick
Be@rbrick (Bearbrick) is a designer art toy created by Medicom Toy, a popular Japanese company that has reached worldwide acclaim, especially with collectors. These plastic teddy bears have a recognizable, minimalist look. Each one is known for the iconic Bearbrick large potbelly, and the moveable head and limbs.
For over two decades, this brand has collaborated with a variety of intellectual properties, artists, brands, and concepts. Bearbrick is known for making an eclectic assortment of collectible bears, and there is something for every type of person to geek out about. From Batman to Van Gogh, from Spongebob to Alfred Hitchcock, Bearbrick pays homage to all fandoms.
The “blank slate” nature of the bears allows for variety in designs, and it’s the artistic curiosity of each piece that usually results in strong investments for collectors.
Bearbrick are available in three main sizes: 100%, 400% and 1000%. The 100% is approximately 2.75 inches tall, or 7 centimeters. The 400% is 4 times larger, at 11 inches, or 28 cm. The 1000% is 10 times larger than the 100%, at 2 ft. 4 inches, or 70 cm. Other sizes exist, such as 200% or 10,000%, but these sizes are rare exceptions.
ANEVER Clear Bearbrick
Instantly recognizable to any Anever collector, the clear Anever Bearbrick resembles many of the designer’s popular jewelry pieces. Flower-like splashes of color adorn the item from its ears to its feet. The clear plastic body allows light to turn the figure into a bear-shaped rainbow.
While some Bearbrick figures feature faces, this design does not break its wildflower imagery except to include a brand signature. On the bear’s chest is the Anever brand emblem. The logo is small and blends in, almost like a shirt logo. There’s something extra charming about this teddy that practically glows with wildflower energy, proudly displaying the Anever design.

The goal of Anever is to decorate rooms with the happiness of flowers, and it’s hard to think of something happier than a two-and-a-half-foot bear that lets light shine through tiny, water-colored blossoms.
