70% Bearbricks

5 cm — the size that travels

At 5 cm the 70% is the smallest regularly produced format. It often appears as a charm, a keyring or a multi-figure set — made as an object that doesn’t have to stay in a cabinet.

In design terms the size means going without: fine lines and gradients can’t be rendered at 5 cm. Designs get reduced to their basic shapes, which is why figures with flat colour and strong contrast work best here.

For newcomers the 70% is the cheapest way into collecting; for experienced collectors it’s the size where a complete set takes almost no space.
