This partnership resulted in limited-edition BE@RBRICK figures inspired by the design and legacy of the Super Cub.

Celebrating the Honda Super Cub

The Honda Super Cub, introduced in 1958, is renowned for its reliability and distinctive design. It holds the title of the best-selling motor vehicle in history, with over 100 million units sold worldwide as of 2017. The Super Cub’s enduring popularity and cultural significance made it an ideal subject for this collaboration.

Design and Features

The BE@RBRICK x Honda Super Cub figures were released in two sizes: 100% (approximately 70mm) and 400% (approximately 280mm). The figures feature color schemes directly inspired by the Super Cub C125, including Pearl Niltava Blue and Pearl Nebula Red. Design elements such as the Honda logo and details reminiscent of the Super Cub’s structure are incorporated into the figures, paying homage to the motorcycle’s iconic aesthetic.

Release and Availability

These limited-edition figures were made available through MEDICOM TOY’s official channels, including their online store and select retail locations. As with many BE@RBRICK releases, the collaboration attracted attention from collectors and enthusiasts, reflecting the strong appeal of both brands.

Significance of the Collaboration

The BE@RBRICK x Honda Super Cub collaboration represents a fusion of industrial design and pop culture. By translating the Super Cub’s design into the form of a BE@RBRICK figure, the partnership highlights the versatility and influence of Japanese design. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Super Cub and the cultural resonance of BE@RBRICK figures.
