BTS are bringing their global comeback into the collectible world with a new collaboration with BE@RBRICK. The group teased the project on October 5 with a 27-second video featuring seven stylized Bearbrick figures, while promising that more details would follow the next day.
Set against a smoky, dramatic backdrop, the teaser introduces a figure representing each BTS member. The names and birth years are displayed on the backs of the collectibles: Jin ’92, Suga ’93, J-Hope ’94, Jimin ’95, V ’95 and Jungkook ’97. The seven-figure lineup mirrors BTS’ complete group formation following the members’ return to full-group activities.

The announcement comes during one of the biggest periods of BTS activity in years. The group are currently on their ARIRANG World Tour, their first full-group stadium trek since all seven members completed their mandatory military service, with the tour supporting ARIRANG, their first studio album following their individual projects.
ARIRANG has already crossed a major financial milestone. According to Billboard Boxscore figures provided by the group’s latest tour data, BTS surpassed $500 million in ticket sales following an August run that generated $171.7 million from 12 concerts and 801,000 tickets sold.
That figure makes BTS the first pop group in history to surpass $500 million from a single tour. The ARIRANG World Tour launched April 9 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea and has expanded into a stadium production spanning more than 88 shows across 34 cities and 23 countries.
The BE@RBRICK collaboration adds another commercial dimension to a comeback already defined by music, touring and fan events. BTS have previously expanded their eras through extensive merchandise and collectibles, making the new figures a natural extension of the visual identity surrounding ARIRANG.
