BE@RBRICK Series 36 SF "Garfield" [Garfield & Odie] (100%)

On June 19, 1978, a comic strip debuted in 41 US newspapers that would change the world forever: Garfield, created by Jim Davis, introduced a fat, lazy, lasagna-loving orange cat whose cynical humor and all-too-human quirks made him the most-read comic strip in the world. Over four decades later, Garfield reaches around 200 million readers daily in 2,600 newspapers worldwide—a phenomenon recognized with a Guinness World Record in 2003. When Medicom Toy released a Garfield Bearbrick in June 2018 as part of Series 36, the Japanese company honored not just a comic strip classic, but a global pop culture icon.

This Bearbrick perfectly captures Garfield's unmistakable look: the characteristic orange fur with the black stripes on his head, the half-closed eyes signaling permanent skepticism, the pink muzzle, and of course, that legendary expression – a mixture of smugness, boredom, and subtle sarcasm instantly recognizable to millions. The execution on the Bearbrick form is remarkably successful: from the detailed facial features and black-rimmed paws to the subtle color gradients in the orange, every element has been rendered with the precision that Garfield fans worldwide expect.

The Cute category has been a staple of every Bearbrick series since its inception, showcasing characters that score points for their visual cuteness and high recognition value. What sets Garfield apart from many other Cute Bearbricks, however, is the irony of his placement in this category: Garfield is anything but saccharine and naive. His personality is a brilliant parody of the pet-owner relationship, laced with cynicism, laziness, and a healthy dose of self-absorption. Jim Davis deliberately created Garfield as an anti-hero who not only shares our guilt about overeating, oversleeping, and lack of exercise, but cheerfully defends it.

The fact that the product name includes "Garfield & Odie" suggests that this figure is part of a set or a thematic connection – Odie, the good-natured but not particularly bright dog, is Garfield's perfect foil and a regular target of his pranks. Whether as a solo statement piece in your collection or alongside Odie, this Garfield Bearbrick brings 40 years of comic strip history, Monday hatred, and lasagna love to your shelf.
