Bearbrick is a collectible toy created by the Japanese company MediCom Toy Incorporated. It is a stylized representation of a bear, usually made of plastic and featuring a simplistic design. The name "Bearbrick" is derived from the combination of the words "bear" and "brick," referring to its bear-like shape and block-like appearance.
Bearbricks come in various sizes, ranging from 70% (about 2.8 inches or 7 centimeters tall) to 1000% (about 27.6 inches or 70 centimeters tall). They are typically composed of separate pieces that can be assembled and disassembled, allowing for customization and interchangeability. The design of the Bearbrick often features a basic bear face with dot eyes and a simplified mouth.

One of the distinctive aspects of Bearbrick is its collaborative nature. Many artists, fashion brands, and entertainment franchises have collaborated with MediCom Toy to produce limited-edition Bearbricks. These collaborations result in unique designs, patterns, and colors that reflect the aesthetics and branding of the collaborating entity.
Bearbricks have gained popularity among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide due to their artistic value, exclusivity, and the thrill of collecting limited editions. They are often released in blind box sets, where the specific design is concealed, creating a sense of surprise and rarity. Bearbricks have become highly sought-after collectibles, with dedicated communities and events centered around their appreciation and trading.
