July 2026 is a busy month on Medicom Toy’s BE@RBRICK calendar, bringing together a flagship automotive collision, a government-affiliated mascot, and merchandise tied to one of the summer’s biggest animated releases. Between the Nissan GT-R figures, the Myaku-Myaku line, and Toy Story 5 tie-ins, plus a handful of made-to-order figures arriving from earlier preorders, this round spans an unusually wide range of licensing categories for a single month.

If you’ve seen this lineup mentioned with a character called “Meow Meow,” that’s most likely a mishearing of Myaku-Myaku (ミャクミャク), the official mascot of Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai. The two names sound similar spoken quickly, and Myaku-Myaku doesn’t have one standardized English spelling, so the mix-up is an easy one. This article uses Myaku-Myaku, the character’s official name.

Medicom splits its releases into a few sales models, and this month includes more than one:

• First-come, limited quantity: a fixed stock goes live at a set time and sells out when it’s gone. The Nissan GT-R figures work this way.
• Made-to-order (受注生産): customers order during a fixed window months ahead, and Medicom manufactures exactly that many units. Several of this month’s licensed figures were ordered back in late January and early February, with July simply being the month they ship.
• Lottery sales, common for especially high-demand collisions.

Knowing which model applies matters: a first-come sale rewards speed, while a made-to-order item means the ordering window, not the ship date, was the moment that counted.

The month’s headline release comes from Nissan itself. A 2026 limited-edition design of the NISSAN GT-R BE@RBRICK launches in both 100% (about 7 cm) and 400% (about 28 cm) sizes, sold as a set, on Thursday, July 2, at 10:00 AM Japan time, through the Nissan Online Shop, the Nissan Global Headquarters Gallery, and Nissan Crossing.

The design draws on the R35-generation GT-R, Nissan’s long-running “heartbeat model.” The set is priced at 22,000 yen (tax included), sold in closed-box packaging, with purchases capped at two sets per customer on a strictly first-come basis. Nissan has run a similar yearly collision before, including a 2025 “Sakura at Japanese Dawn” themed figure, and the GT-R’s status as a cultural shorthand for the brand’s show identity makes it a natural fit for this kind of collectible treatment.

Myaku-Myaku, the swirling, multi-eyed mascot created for Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai, has had an unusually active merchandising run since its debut. The design’s unconventional mix of red cell-like blobs and blue water-droplet shapes drew plenty of online commentary when first revealed, but the character has since become one of the more recognizable Expo mascots in recent memory.

Medicom first released Myaku-Myaku as a BE@RBRICK in early 2025, in both 100% and 400% sizes, as an official Expo 2025 licensed product produced with Osaka Plastic Model Co. and distributed through the Expo’s official store at JR Shin-Osaka Ekimarche, hobby shops nationwide, and Medicom’s own retail channels. Its continued presence in the release calendar through mid-2026 reflects its popularity as a souvenir item well beyond the Expo grounds.

Pixar’s Toy Story 5 had its U.S. release on June 19, 2026, and opens in Japan on July 3. Directed by Andrew Stanton, it picks up two years after Toy Story 4, following Woody, Buzz, and Jessie as they contend with Lilypad, a tablet that becomes Bonnie’s new favorite toy. Returning voices include Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack, joined by newcomers like Conan O’Brien, and the film has already posted Pixar’s biggest opening weekend on record.

On the figure side, Medicom entered Toy Story into its BE@RBRICK CHASE line in March 2026. Each figure stands about 7 cm tall, sold in closed-box packaging so buyers don’t know which design they’re getting until opening it. The six-figure lineup includes Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Bullseye, an Alien, and Lotso, priced at 1,000 yen each. While the series launched ahead of July, its timing lines up closely with the film’s Japanese debut, and continued retail availability has kept it part of this month’s conversation. The release also coincides with a wave of Toy Story 5 tie-in merchandise across Japan, including arcade prize campaigns and a Tokyo Disney Resort rollout starting July 1.

July is also a delivery month for figures ordered through Medicom’s MCT Tokyo platform during a preorder window that ran January 24 through February 10. Notable pieces shipping this way include BE@RBRICK Elphaba 400% and Glinda 400% (Wicked, 15,400 yen each), BE@RBRICK SHAUN COSTUME Ver. 400% (Wallace & Gromit, 22,000 yen), and BE@RBRICK The Toxic Avenger and Toxic Crusaders sets (Troma Entertainment, 18,480 yen each). None of these share a license or theme; Medicom’s made-to-order pipeline simply batches unrelated figures into the same shipping window based on when their preorder periods closed.

Channels vary by release. The Nissan GT-R set goes live simultaneously across the Nissan Online Shop, the Nissan Global Headquarters Gallery, and Nissan Crossing at 10:00 AM on July 2, and tends to move fast given the limited stock and two-per-customer cap. Myaku-Myaku figures remain available through hobby shops, Medicom’s direct stores and online storefronts, and the Expo 2025 retail channel at JR Shin-Osaka Ekimarche. The Toy Story CHASE figures are sold through Medicom’s directly operated stores, MCT Tokyo, and its Rakuten and Yahoo! Shopping storefronts. The made-to-order items aren’t available for new purchase, since ordering closed back in February. As always, expect resale listings on platforms like Mercari shortly after any sellout, particularly for the Nissan collaboration.

fin

What makes July 2026 notable isn’t a single release but the breadth on display: a car manufacturer’s flagship model, a government-affiliated Expo mascot, and a summer blockbuster’s merchandise wave all land in BE@RBRICK form within the same few weeks, alongside a quieter batch of made-to-order figures spanning music, stop-motion, and cult horror licenses. Few toy lines stretch across that range of categories in a single month, underscoring just how broad Medicom Toy’s connective reach has become.
