Bearbrick

Bearbrick (rendered Be@rbrick) is a collectable Japanese toyline made by MediCom Toy Inc. The toys come in the form of building block style bears, often designed after popular culture figures such as superheros, like Batman, or in the case of this article, Transformers.

Toys

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Transformers franchise, several transforming toys were released through the Bearbrick line. All of them used the same base mold, either redecoed or retooled. They also fall into the Bearbrick size rating of 200%, which is 14 cm or about the size of a deluxe class figure. A decade later in 2025, Medicom released transforming bears in the 11-inch tall 400% size rating.
