● Rob Kidney × Toy People "FRIDAY BEAR - TOY PEOPLE Ver."
This Toy People exclusive version of FRIDAY BEAR not only maintains Rob Kidney's consistent design characteristics, showcasing a charm of vibrant, high-contrast colors, but this exclusive colorway also boasts three exciting selling points. First is the exquisite packaging box, which is the same deluxe specification as the first color edition and the One-Off versions! And inside the box, in addition to the sofubi figure itself, there is a numbered certificate card personally signed by Rob Kidney. This is currently the only FRIDAY BEAR to include a signed card!
Finally, not only does the vinyl record bag on this FRIDAY BEAR feature the "TOY PEOPLE" lettering drawn by Rob Kidney, but the bottom of the record bag held in its left hand is also personally signed by designer Rob Kidney! This truly enhances the collectible value of this FRIDAY BEAR and its significance to us at Toy People.
▼ Unlike the standard version, the "FRIDAY BEAR - TOY PEOPLE Ver." comes in a deluxe cardboard box.

▼ Each "FRIDAY BEAR - TOY PEOPLE Ver." features Rob Kidney's personal signature on the bottom, along with a hand-signed, numbered certificate card.
▼ Viewed from the back, the head looks even more adorable.
