Medicom Toy's Bearbrick has spent two decades turning a simple bear-shaped silhouette into one of the most sought-after collectible formats in the world. In 2026, the collaboration pipeline is the most stacked it's ever been — spanning gaming, sports, classic animation, cereal mascots, and heavy metal. If you collect Bearbricks in India, this is the year your shelf gets seriously interesting.
Here's every major Bearbrick collaboration confirmed for 2026, what they'll cost in India after customs, and which ones are likely to become grail pieces on the secondary market.
PlayStation x BE@RBRICK 400% (February 2026 — Released)
Sony and Medicom dropped one of the cleanest Bearbrick designs in recent memory. The PlayStation BE@RBRICK features a sleek monochromatic blue body with the iconic triangle, square, cross, and circle symbols — an unmistakable homage to the original console. The 400% released in February 2026 and sold out almost instantly at retail.
If you missed it, secondary market prices are already climbing. For Indian collectors, expect to pay ₹12,000–₹18,000 for the 400% depending on the seller and condition. This is the kind of crossover piece that appeals to both gaming and art toy collectors, which makes it a strong long-term hold.
Stranger Things Vecna BE@RBRICK (June 2026)
Netflix's horror franchise meets Medicom in what might be the most visually ambitious Bearbrick of the year. The Vecna BE@RBRICK translates that gruesome, vine-wrapped, fleshy appearance onto the classic bear silhouette — and somehow it works. At $85 USD retail, this is an accessible entry point for horror collectors.
Estimated India price: ₹8,000–₹12,000 for the 400%.
This is a strong display piece and a conversation starter. Stranger Things has a massive Indian fanbase, and Vecna's design is iconic enough to stand on its own even outside the show's context.
Woody BE@RBRICK 400% (July 2026)
Pixar and Medicom continue their long-running partnership with a Woody Bearbrick that's pure nostalgia. Toy Story has multi-generational appeal — parents who grew up with Woody in the '90s are now buying collectibles for themselves (not their kids). The 400% format is the sweet spot for display: large enough to appreciate the design details, small enough to fit any shelf.
Estimated India price: ₹10,000–₹18,000 for the 400%.
Disney/Pixar collaborations tend to hold value well because the audience is enormous and the production runs are relatively limited.
MLB x Peanuts Snoopy (LA Dodgers) BE@RBRICK (July 2026)
A triple-branded collaboration: Major League Baseball, Peanuts (Snoopy), and Medicom Toy. This one comes in 100%, 400%, and 1000% sizes, which is notable — the 1000% suggests Medicom is betting big on demand.
Snoopy Bearbricks have a track record of strong resale performance, and the Dodgers branding adds a sports crossover element that expands the buyer pool beyond traditional art toy collectors.
Estimated India prices:
- 100%: ₹1,500–₹3,000
- 400%: ₹10,000–₹20,000
- 1000%: ₹50,000–₹80,000+
Tony the Tiger (Costume Ver.) BE@RBRICK 400% & 1000% (August 2026)
This is the one collectors are watching most closely. Kellogg's Tony the Tiger in Bearbrick form — a Costume Version, meaning the bear is fully dressed as Tony rather than just featuring printed graphics. The 1000% size is going to be a grail piece. Pop culture food brand collaborations (think KAWS x Reese's Puffs, Bearbrick x Pepsi) have historically commanded insane secondary market premiums.
Estimated India prices:
- 400%: ₹12,000–₹25,000
- 1000%: ₹55,000–₹1,00,000+
If you're going to invest in one Bearbrick this year, the Tony the Tiger 1000% has the strongest potential for appreciation. It sits at the intersection of nostalgia, pop art, and scarcity — the three things that drive Bearbrick resale prices.
Winnie the Pooh (Costume Ver.) BE@RBRICK 400% (August 2026)
Another Costume Version, this time featuring Disney's beloved bear dressed as... well, a bear. There's a delightful meta quality to a bear-shaped figure dressed as a bear. The Pooh Bearbrick will appeal to Disney collectors and the kawaii crowd alike.
Estimated India price: ₹10,000–₹18,000 for the 400%.
Iron Maiden BE@RBRICK (September 2026)
Eddie the Head meets Bearbrick. Iron Maiden's mascot is one of the most recognisable images in music history, and Medicom has been teasing this collaboration since late 2025. The Trooper artwork — Eddie charging with a flag on the battlefield — translated onto a Bearbrick is going to be spectacular.
Pre-orders are open for September 2026 delivery. This is a must-have for any collector who sits at the intersection of music and art toys.
Estimated India price: ₹8,000–₹20,000 depending on size.
Other 2026 Drops to Watch
Beyond the headliners, Medicom has confirmed several more collaborations shipping through 2026:
- G.I. Joe BE@RBRICK — September 2026. Military/action figure nostalgia meets art toy.
- Rilakkuma BE@RBRICK — September 2026. San-X's beloved lazy bear in Bearbrick form — perfect for the kawaii collector.
- BE@RBRICK Audio 400% — A functional Bluetooth speaker shaped like a Bearbrick, created with Rinaro Isodynamics after 20,000+ engineering hours. For collectors who want their display piece to also play music.
Why Bearbrick Is a Smart Collect in India
Here's something most Indian collectors haven't fully realised yet: none of the major Indian anime figure retailers prominently carry Bearbrick. The category is underserved in India despite massive global demand. That creates an opportunity.
Bearbricks have a few characteristics that make them particularly interesting for the Indian market:
Brand crossover appeal. A PlayStation Bearbrick attracts gamers. A Snoopy Bearbrick attracts cartoon fans. An Iron Maiden Bearbrick attracts metalheads. Unlike anime-specific figures, Bearbricks pull from every corner of pop culture, which means a much larger potential audience.
Strong secondary market. Limited-edition Bearbricks routinely appreciate 2–5× over retail within 12–18 months. The 1000% size in particular has become an alternative asset class for art collectors globally.
Display versatility. The consistent silhouette means Bearbricks look cohesive on a shelf regardless of which collaborations you own. A KAWS Bearbrick next to a PlayStation Bearbrick next to a Snoopy Bearbrick — it all works together.
Pricing Guide for India
Bearbricks are imported under HSN code 9503 and face the same customs structure as anime figures: 60% BCD, 10% SWS, and 18% IGST. Here's what that means in practice:
| Size | Japan Retail Range | India Landed Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| 100% | ¥800–¥1,500 | ₹1,500–₹3,000 |
| 400% | ¥5,000–¥15,000 | ₹8,000–₹25,000 |
| 1000% | ¥30,000–¥80,000 | ₹45,000–₹1,25,000+ |
Prices vary significantly based on the specific collaboration, licensing costs, and production complexity. Costume Versions and artist collaborations (KAWS, Hajime Sorayama) tend to sit at the top of each range.
How to Buy Authentic Bearbricks in India
The counterfeit problem is real with Bearbricks, especially for hyped collaborations. Always verify:
- The Medicom Toy logo and copyright information on the box
- The figure's weight — genuine Bearbricks have a specific heft that bootlegs can't replicate
- The paint quality and joint tightness
- Numbered certificates for 1000% pieces
OneFigures sources all Bearbricks directly from authorised distributors in Japan. Every piece comes with original packaging, authenticity verification, and transparent pricing that accounts for real import costs — no hidden markups, no counterfeits.
