Albino & Preto and MEDICOM TOY Unveil 1000% Kimono BE@RBRICK
Albino & Preto(A&P) is gearing up to release a new collaboration withMEDICOM TOY: a 1000% KimonoBE@RBRICKthat blends martial arts authenticity with collectible artistry. This marks the culmination of a six-year passion project that first appeared as a hidden 'Secret B@' in Series 38, now fully realized in an upscale, standout release.
Standing approximately 2.3 feet tall, the figure is dressed in a white kimono-style gi inspired by A&P's signature Jiu-Jitsu uniforms —clean and crisp. The gi features a thick black collar and black inner sleeve lining, echoing traditional martial arts attire. Tied around the waist is a black belt representing 1st Dan rank, complete with a red bar detail that pays homage to belt grading in Brazilian Jiu -Jitsu—a subtle nod appreciated by BJJ practitioners.
The BE@RBRICK itself is rendered in a warm, light brown tone across its head and hands, finished with a glossy look that lends a premium, earthy feel. A white nose accent adds a touch of contrast, elevating the overall aesthetic. Branding is tastefully integrated: the A&P logo appears on the upper sleeves and the right foot in orange and blue outline, The BE@RBRICK logo appears on the left leg and across the back of the gi, both rendered in a similar color but with a bold, block-text treatment that contrasts cleanly against the white base, with both co-branding elements standing out cleanly against the gi. A small NOGI-style patch of the BE@RBRICK logo is also visible at the back of the uniform, reinforcing A&P's identity as a gi-focused label.
Balancing tradition with design-forward execution, this BE@RBRICK not only scales up in size but also in storytelling— offering fans of both brands a collectible that's rich in detail, culture, and craftsmanship. The collaboration will be available on July 9th at 11 a.m. PST/2 p.m. EST exclusively on theA&P website.

Duck Dynasty's Jessica Robertson Says Daughter Priscilla Is Pregnant at 18: 'Isn't the Plan We Had'
The addition of Priscilla's baby will mark the third grandchild for Jep and Jessica, whose family rose to fame on the popular A&E reality series. The Duck Dynasty family is about to add one more to their party! Jessica Robertson took to Instagram Sunday reveal that her 18-year-old daughter Priscilla, her third child with husband Jep Robertson, is expecting a baby. The post featured a glowing Priscilla cradling her bump in a pink tank dress, along with a message from the proud soon-to-be grandma. "Me & Jep are excited to welcome another new grandbaby in October. Priscilla will give birth to our granddaughter & we are blessed to add another grandbaby," Jessica wrote in her caption. While the pregnancy may not have been part of the original plan for their 18-year-old daughter, as noted by Jessica, she made it clear their family is embracing the journey. "This isn't the plans we had laid out for Priscilla but God takes our meager offerings and turns them into His greatest blessings! We are so proud that Priscilla & Dillon chose life for their baby and we will all be rewarded with this precious baby girl!" she continued. She added, "We pray blessings on her pregnancy & ask God for a safe delivery for Mom & Baby. We praise God for His perfect gifts!💛 Pray for us! 3 babies under 1!" Priscilla's pregnancy marks the third grandchild for Jessica and Jep in under a year. The Robertson baby boom started in February when their eldest daughter Lily, 22, welcomed son Winston with her husband Austin. Then in June, daughter Merritt, 20, announced she's also expecting a baby girl this December with husband Tyler. At the time, Jessica shared her excitement, posting: "Over the moon to announce another grand baby on the way!!! Baby girl due December 2025!!🩷" With three of their daughters either expecting or already new moms, the Robertsons are bracing for a house full of baby giggles, diapers, and lots of love. In addition to Lily, Merrit and Priscilla, Jessica and Jep, who rose to fame on the A&E reality hit Duck Dynasty, are parents to sons River, 16, and Gus, 9. Solve the daily Crossword

Rory McIlroy makes Royal Portrush plea as he leaves with everything 'bar the Claret Jug'
Rory McIlroy says he hopes he has "one or two Opens left" at Royal Portrush as he refected on an "awesome week" which saw him leave with everything apart from a Claret Jug. Rory fever hit the Dunluce Links as thousands cheered on their golfing hero willing him to add to his major tally on home soil. In the end it just wasn't to be for McIlroy as he came up short to the greatness of Scottie Scheffler, who stormed to victory in the Open for the very first time. READ MORE: Rory McIlroy forces Sky Sports commentator to apologise after behaviour at The Open READ MORE: Rory McIlroy's behaviour behind the scenes brought up as Open star speaks out For the world no.2 though it was a special week, full of emotion for all the right reasons, and he is hoping it won't be the last on these shores. "I tried as best as I could to keep my emotions in check, especially walking up the last there and that reception," said McIlroy after finishing on -10. "Yeah, look, it's been an awesome week. I've gotten everything I wanted out of this week apart from a Claret Jug, and that's just because one person was just a little bit better than the rest of us. "It's been an amazing week, just the -- I feel so thankful and just so lucky that I get to do this, I get to do this in front of this crowd. "Hopefully I'll have one or two Opens left here, if the R&A decide to keep coming back, probably one while I'm still competitive and another one while I'm more grey than I already am. "It's just been incredible to come back here and to play and at least feel like I had a chance today going out there. Just an awesome week." McIlroy says he is not alone in loving Royal Portrush and he praised everyone involved for making it happen. "Honestly, I think Portrush has quickly turned into one of the best two or three venues that The Open goes to," he said. "Talk to every player this week, and they won't say one single bad thing about the golf course. "Then I just think the way it sets up, from a logistical standpoint, I think the R&A have worked so well with the local government to make sure everything runs smoothly. "Yeah, I hope so. It's only been six years since 2019. I'm not sure Portrush is going to have The Open every six years, that would be nice, but I would obviously love it to keep coming back."

Pokemon Presents July 2025 – Where to Watch and What to Expect
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors After February's Pokémon Presents gave us a lot of exciting new information on the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A, we've got another streaming coming this week that will hopefully enlighten us to even more stuff coming for both that game and whatever might be next. You can watch the stream on the official Pokémon YouTube channel, though beware, it's set to go live pretty early in the US, so you'll have to set those alarms if you don't want to miss it. If you don't fancy getting up for it, though, then don't worry, as it will be available to watch as a video on the channel immediately afterwards. When Does the Pokémon Presents Stream Start? The Pokémon Presents logo with the date of the broadcast, 07.22.2025. The Pokémon Presents logo with the date of the broadcast, 07.22.2025. The Pokémon Company International The official start time is Tuesday, July 22, 2025 at 6am PT. Here's what that means for your time zone: 6am PT 8am Central 9am ET 10am BRT 2pm BST 3pm CEST 6:30pm IST 9pm CST 10pm JST 11pm AEST 1am NZST (July 23) What Will Be In the Pokémon Presents?

The Pokémon Company While we don't have official confirmation on anything, there are a few things that have been teased and we can reasonably expect to see. First of all, we know the stream is going to be an estimated 24 minutes long, which is about average for these things. No doubt it will be frontloaded with details on upcoming updates for various mobile games like Pokémon Sleep and Pokémon Cafe. It's also likely we'll see the announcement of the next Pokémon TCG Pocket set, which we'll be sure to cover as soon as we find out about it. Over the past couple of weeks, the Pokémon social media accounts have also been teasing something strange, with Pikachu working at a DJ deck. Exactly what this could be about, we don't know, but whether it's some sort of Pokémon rhythm game or a music channel, we're highly likely to find out during this stream. Of course, the biggest headline will be more information on Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the next mainline game in the series, set to launch on Switch and Switch 2 on October 16, 2025, though we don't know what new details will be unveiled. As for the reveal of whatever mainline title will follow Z-A in 2026, we doubt we'll hear about that in this stream. That said, it's not impossible, the Pokémon Company International has revealed new games before the launch of a current one before, but we believe that if the highly-anticipated Generation 10 games or anything of that nature are going to be revealed this year, it won't be here.
