BE@RBRICK Sizes
| Size | Approx. height | Typical use |
|---|---|---|

Heights are approximate. Check the listing for the exact sizes included.
Sets and Series
100% & 400% sets are the most popular format for collaborations: you get the same design in two sizes. Series releases are numbered and sold as blind boxes, each containing one 100% figure from a range of categories, including rare secret figures. Buying a full case of 24 is the easiest way to collect a series, though a case does not guarantee every design.
Buying Tips
- Japan-themed designs, such as Maneki Neko lucky cats, are popular gifts.
- Plated and glow-in-the-dark finishes are more delicate, so handle them with gloves.
- Keep the box: collectors value complete packaging.
- Buy from shops that source genuine Medicom Toy products.
