Geekscape Toys: figma Ted Brings Drug Use and Bear Hugs

Add this to the list of things I never thought would exist. It turns out Japan loves Ted, the wildly-inappropriate living teddy bear. Who knew? His movies are so popular over in the Land of the Rising Sun that Max Factory and Good Smile Company have developed a figma Ted, complete with a beer bottle and a bong. Yes, he comes with a mini-PVC bong; you can’t make this stuff up.

Like all figma, the Ted figure is posable, with articulated joints, and has multiple expressions. To change Ted’s facial features, you switch out his muzzle part (he comes with laughing, smiling, and upset expressions) and move around his articulated eyebrows. He can sit, stand, and do several other poses with the help of the included figma stand. Ted is smaller than most figma, standing only 55 millimeters in height.

figma Ted is scheduled to ship this July for the price of ¥2,963. He is available to pre-order at the Good Smile Company Online Shop. Pre-orders close March 30 at 9 PM Japan Time.

What do you think of this addition to the figma line?
