Albino & Preto and MEDICOM TOY Unveil 1000% Kimono BE@RBRICK
Summary 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.

What to watch with your kids: ‘Snow White,' ‘O'Dessa' and more
Uneven live-action musical remake is occasionally dark. Disney's live-action remake of its 1937 animated classic follows Snow White (Rachel Zegler) as she flees the jealous, bloodthirsty Evil Queen (Gal Gadot) and arrives at a cottage in an enchanted forest. There, she befriends seven dwarfs and teams up with a bandit (Andrew Burnap). There are a few dark, violent scenes amid the movie's humor and musical numbers (most of the soundtrack is new). The Evil Queen orders different men to kill Snow White and, in one case, demands that the assassin bring back her heart. A character is shot in the chest by a crossbow bolt, people face imprisonment and death sentences, and Snow White flees through a scary forest full of grasping trees and looming animals. A romantic subplot includes flirting and a couple of kisses. Language is mild ('shut it,' 'naive,' 'idiot,' 'fool'), and the only substance use is when the Evil Queen brews potions to disguise herself as an old hag. As in the original movie, themes focus on Snow White's courage, kindness and empathy. (109 minutes) Available in theaters. Streaming Violence, language and drugs in a jumbled dystopian musical. This musical drama is set in a postapocalyptic future in which an authoritarian leader (Murray Bartlett) and his minions keep the masses in line through drugs, threats and disappearances. Mature content includes violence, sexual scenarios, language and substance use. Expect deaths, electrocutions, a finger getting sliced off, a seer with no eyes and people going through withdrawal from drug addiction. Characters smoke a strange powder that puts them in a catatonic state. The title character (Sadie Sink) gets drunk, wakes up hungover and vomits. Two characters kiss, fall into bed together and wake up in nightclothes. Language includes 'f---,' 's---,' 'bulls---,' 'damn,' 'goddamn,' 'hell,' 'b----,' 'jacka--,' 'slut,' 'perv' and 'screw,' and we see a middle finger. (106 minutes) Available on Hulu. Streaming Droll White House mystery includes some language. Set in the White House, this comedic mystery series stars Uzo Aduba as a quirky detective who is called in to solve a crime but finds both behind-the-scenes staff and political figures standing in her way. Expect lots of language, including 's---,' 'f---' and 'goddammit.' Violent moments include images of a dead body with slit wrists and bloody wounds. There also are some mild sex jokes, and adults drink champagne in a party setting. (Eight episodes) Available on Netflix. Streaming Cute, lively musical series promotes toy line. Based on the toy line, this animated musical series follows a bear named Jasmine (voiced by Brianna Bryan) and her band, the Brushstrokes. The content is pretty mild, and kids and tweens will probably enjoy the 'My Little Pony'-esque musical adventures. ('BE@RBRICK' is from the same showrunner.) Themes include defying stereotypes and societal pressures. There's little mature content to worry about, but the toys are popular and highly collectible, so kids may be interested in purchasing them after watching the show. The series features music by Timbaland. (13 episodes) Available on Apple TV+. Common Sense Media helps families make smart media choices.
