Bearbrick

Bearbrick Series 16	Bearbrick Series 17

Bearbrick is a collectible toy produced and designed by MediCom Toy Incorporated. It gets its name from its overall design, which is a cartoon-style bear, as well as the fact that it is a variation of MediCom’s Kubrick design. The design itself is very simple, with nine points of articulation: the torso, head, arms, hands, hips, and legs. The head and waist can swivel, and the arms and legs can rotate on a ball joint.
