{"product_id":"bearbrick-series-36-animal-snoopy-peanuts-100","title":"BE@RBRICK Series 36 Animal \"Snoopy\" [Peanuts] (100%)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn October 2, 1950, a comic strip that would change the world forever debuted in seven US newspapers: Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. Just two days later, on October 4, 1950, the character who would become one of the most iconic dogs in pop culture history appeared for the first time—Snoopy, the white beagle with the black ears. What began as Charlie Brown's simple pet dog evolved over five decades into a phenomenon that extended far beyond the comic strip pages. When Charles M. Schulz died on February 12, 2000—just one day before his last Sunday strip appeared in the newspapers—he left behind over 17,800 hand-drawn strips, the longest story ever told by a single person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSnoopy is more than a comic strip dog. He's a dreamer who lies on the roof of his doghouse, imagining himself as a World War I fighter pilot battling the Red Baron. He's \"Joe Cool,\" the laid-back college student in sunglasses. He's the ambitious writer who works daily on his great American novel, always beginning with the same words: \"It was a dark and stormy night.\" This rich fantasy world has made Snoopy the alter ego not only of Charlie Brown, but of millions of people who see themselves reflected in his bittersweet optimism—a character who, despite constant setbacks, never loses his zest for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis Bearbrick from the Animal category of Series 36 (June 2018) distills Snoopy's iconic design down to its most essential elements: the white body with the characteristic black ears, the large black nose, the expressive eyes, and the bright red collar—it doesn't get more minimalist than this, yet Snoopy is instantly recognizable. The Animal category of the Bearbrick series has featured animal characters for over two decades, but few carry such cultural depth as Snoopy. When the American Kennel Club chose the most popular dog in pop culture in 2009 to celebrate its 125th anniversary, Snoopy won unchallenged—and became the only fictional dog to receive the honorary registration number \"Beagle-1.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSnoopy's influence reaches even into space: In 1969, NASA named the Apollo 10 modules after Charlie Brown and Snoopy, and the astronauts' black communication caps are still known as \"Snoopy Caps.\" From Emmy-winning TV specials and Broadway musicals to a multi-billion-dollar merchandise industry, Snoopy is everywhere. This 7 cm Bearbrick brings 75 years of comic strip history, philosophical depth, and timeless imagination to your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52316747006218,"sku":"B@S3608","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3133\/1850\/files\/bearbrick-series-36-animal-snoopy-peanuts-100-herstellerbild.webp?v=1766738584","url":"https:\/\/www.mybearbrick.co.uk\/products\/bearbrick-series-36-animal-snoopy-peanuts-100","provider":"MyBearBrick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
