Bearbrick Toy
Bearbrick is a collectible toy designed and produced by the Japanese company MediCom Toy Incorporated. The name is derived from the fact that the figure is a cartoon-style representation of a bear, and that it is a variation of MediCom’s Kubrick design.
The figure is an anthropomorphised bear with an extremely simplified form and a pot belly. Each figure features nine parts: head, torso, hips, arms, hands, and legs. These nine tools allow eight points of articulation: swivel head, swivel waist, ball joint arms, swivel wrists, and ball joint legs.
Size
The standard size is seven centimeters high, and these figures are referred to as 100% Bearbricks. Other Bearbricks are named for their size relative to the standard: 50% are four centimeters high, 70% are five centimeters high, 400% are 28 centimeters high, and 1000% are 70 centimeters high. A 200% size Bearbrick has also been produced standing 14 centimeters tall. A 150% size “Bearbrick Light” has also been produced in 2012, standing 10.5 centimeters tall with a key chain on its head.
