Product description

Since the very first series in 2001, the Basic Letter category has been the typographic backbone of every Bearbrick series – and in Series 17, released in December 2008, it appears in very special company. While Medicom Toy secured one of the most influential designers of American Mid-Century Modernism, Alexander Girard, as an artist partner for this winter edition, the Basic character proves once again: not every powerful statement needs a riot of color or licensed characters. Sometimes a single letter is enough.

The design principle is as simple as it is consistent: a monochrome body in ABS plastic, with a contrasting letter centered on its chest – one of nine that together spell out "BE@RBRICK". The concept doesn't aim for immediate impact, but rather for long-lasting fascination: the more you learn about the history of this figure, the more you understand why it's an indispensable part of any serious collection. The Basic Letter series is the common denominator of all Bearbrick generations – a constant that has maintained its visual validity through all collaborations and trends.

What distinguishes this 7 cm tall figure is its dual nature: viewed individually, it is a purist design object that achieves maximum impact with minimal effort. As part of the nine-letter series, it becomes an integral component of a larger typographic artwork – a concept reminiscent of the “Environmental Enrichment Panels” that Girard once designed for Herman Miller: elements that only reveal their full meaning when combined. For Series 17 collectors striving for the complete alphabet, this figure is an indispensable piece of the puzzle.

If you're looking for a Bearbrick that doesn't shout but whispers – and reveals more about the DNA of this format than many an elaborate special edition – then this is the one for you. The Basic Letter figure from Series 17 is Bearbrick in its purest, most honest form.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is this Bearbrick already pre-assembled?

Yes, all Bearbricks available at MyBearBrick.de are delivered fully assembled by the manufacturer Medicom Toy and are ready to display. So there's no risk of damaging the model.

What packaging does this Bearbrick come in?

This Bearbrick comes in the official original Medicom Toy packaging (see specifications). This is often a collector's item in its own right and important for preserving the model's value. We take care to ensure secure packaging for shipping to prevent damage during transport.

What material is this Bearbrick made of and how do I best care for it?

Most Bearbricks are made of high-quality plastic (ABS plastic), unless otherwise stated in the specifications. For maintenance, we recommend gently dusting the figure regularly with a soft, dry cloth. On chrome versions, fingerprints should be avoided; cloth gloves may be helpful here. Direct sunlight and high humidity should be avoided to protect the colors and material over time and ensure long-term value retention.

How quickly will my order be shipped and how long will delivery take?

Orders received by 2:00 PM on weekdays (11:00 AM on Saturdays) will be shipped the same day via DHL. Delivery within Germany typically takes 1 to 2 business days. Deliveries to other EU countries or Switzerland typically take 2 to 4 business days. You will always receive a tracking number so you can check the status of your delivery at any time.

How much are the shipping costs for this Bearbrick?

We offer free shipping within the European Union for orders over €75. For orders below this amount, we charge a flat shipping fee of €4.90 for deliveries within Germany and €7.90 for other EU countries. For customers in Switzerland or UK, the shipping fee is CHF 10.00 or GBP 10.00 respectively, with a minimum order value of CHF 75 or GBP 75. We cover all customs duties and import taxes for you.

What payment options do I have?

At MyBearBrick.de you can pay securely and conveniently using various payment methods, including PayPal, Klarna (purchase on account), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit cards (VISA, Mastercard, American Express).

What happens if I don't like the Bearbrick or it arrives damaged?

Your satisfaction is important to us. If, contrary to expectations, you don't like a Bearbrick or it's damaged, you have a 30-day free return policy. Simply contact us by phone, email, or chat, and we'll send you a prepaid DHL return label.

Will I receive a certificate of authenticity for this Bearbrick?

For all Bearbricks 200% and larger (including 100%+400% sets), we at Zaiser Art Gallery issue an additional Certificate of Authenticity for your records. This underscores our commitment and conviction to offering only genuine Medicom Toy products.

How does the quality and mobility of this model differ from other sizes?

Medicom Toy's production quality is very high across all sizes. Larger models (400% or 1000%) often offer more space for detailed designs. However, the joints vary depending on the size: In larger models (400% and 1000%), the arms and legs usually rotate in a single plane. Smaller Bearbricks (especially 100% and 200%) often have ball joints, allowing for more flexible movement of the limbs.
