Bearbricks: Theme BASIC

Nine letters, one word

Basic is the backbone of every series: nine figures, each carrying a letter on its chest. Line them up and they spell BE@RBRICK. At 14.58% Basic is the largest single share of a series run — the figures you’re most likely to pull.

Upper and lower case are distinguished: “Large B” and “Small B” are two different figures. Completing the word means getting exactly the right variant — a detail that regularly goes wrong when buying blind.

Every series redesigns Basic: matte finishes, chrome, translucent material or — as in Series 44 — figures that glow in the dark. Here you pick the letter directly, instead of opening cases.
