BE@RBRICK

Be@rbrick is a collectible toy designed and produced by MediCom Toy Incorporated. The name is derived from the fact that the figure is a cartoon-style representation of a bear, and that it is a variation of MediCom's Kubrick design. The at sign in the place of the letter a is a visual device that is a part of the Be@rbrick brand, and as such, a trademark of MediCom Toy.

Be@rbricks differ from their predecessor Kubricks, in that each series includes 18 figures in 10 different themes, which are constant from series to series:

• Basic, a solid-color figure with a letter in a second color on its chest; when all nine figures are placed in a row, they spell the word Be@rbrick.

• Jellybean, a solid-color figure molded in translucent plastic.

• Pattern, a figure with a patterned deco that may range from polka dots to patterns designed by artist and designer Charles Eames.

• Flag, a figure painted as a nation's flag.

• Cute, a figure which visually represents the concept of cuteness.

• Animal, a figure which depicts an actual animal.

• Horror, a figure with a theme based upon a well-known horror film, or other source in the horror genre.

• SF (an abbreviation of science fiction), a figure with a theme based upon a science fiction source, often a film.

• Artist: two figures, each designed by a visual artist.
