The sizes from 50% to 1000%
Six standard sizes, one shape. The percentage gives the size relative to the 100% figure.
100% · 7 cm – The size of the official Series, sold in blind boxes.
400% · 28 cm – The popular collector’s size, with plenty of space for art.
1000% · 70 cm – About as tall as a desk.
The official Series: blind box, Secrets, card
A new Series twice a year. Medicom Toy’s official Series come in 100%, packed in blind boxes. You only see the figure when you open one.
New designs and rare Secrets. Secret figures are not even shown on the box.
The images of the Secrets were created using artificial intelligence and are not photographs.
Every Series figure has its card. Cards come only with the official Series, not with special lines like Chase. Single figures from us come with their card.
Authenticity: hologram, Hidden Tag, du-al.io
Spot the real thing.
- Hologram – A Medicom Toy seal on the packaging, with its own number for every piece.
- Hidden Tag – A coded seal on the sole and packaging. Scan it with the “Hidden Tag” app to check the figure is genuine.
- du-al.io – An NFC chip sits in the figure’s right leg. Hold your phone to it for Medicom Toy’s digital proof of authenticity.
