A Bearbrick is a limited-edition toy designed and produced by MediCom Toy, a toy manufacturing company with a wide range of figure lines and collections based on anime, manga, and global pop culture characters. The name Bearbrick originates from the fact that the collectible is a cartoon-style depiction of a bear and it is a variation of the company’s Kubrick design.
Bearbricks are available in different sizes and are sold in series with two drops annually. Each Bearbrick figure is a humanized plastic bear with nine parts: head, hips, torso, arms, hands, and legs. The parts allow for various points of articulation, including a swivel head, a swivel waist, ball joint arms, ball joint legs, and swivel wrists. Over the years, MediCom has released several Bearbricks in collaboration with several brands, notably Bape, Undercover, Chanel, Steven Harrington, Karimoku, mastermind, Emotionally Unavailable, KAWS, Keith Haring, Banksy, and Lancôme.
