Product details
Product description
What lies beneath the surface of a Bearbrick? Japanese designer Shelterbank provides a fascinating answer to this question with "The Human Bear," creating a work of art that combines science, toy culture, and surreal humor into a visually stunning sculpture. Presented as part of the MEDICOM TOY EXHIBITION '25, this 400% Bearbrick belongs to an artistic tradition that literally makes pop culture icons transparent, revealing their hidden inner workings.
The genre of anatomical designer toys was established in the 2000s by artists like Jason Freeny, who dissected Lego figures, Barbies, and cartoon characters to reveal their hypothetical skeletons and organs. This art form blends industrial design with scientific illustration, creating a dialogue between childlike playfulness and adult curiosity. Freeny himself describes his work as a fusion of "hard graphics, detailed anatomy, pop iconography, and wit"—a perfect description for what Shelterbank achieves with "The Human Bear."
Shelterbank's anatomical Bearbrick takes this a step further: instead of being bisected, the figure offers a complete, three-dimensional view through translucent material. The beige-cream skull with dark eye sockets forms the base, while pinkish-red ears represent the vascularized tissue. The ribcage reveals a meticulously crafted rib skeleton in white and cream tones, enclosing pinkish-red organs—lungs, heart, and other vital structures are stylized yet anatomically accurate. The circulatory system is visualized by a network of red arteries and blue veins that crisscross the entire body, imbuing the figure with a vibrant energy.
The arms and legs reveal the bone structure with its joints and muscles, while the semi-transparent outer shell allows a glimpse of this complex inner workings. The golden-brown coloring of the limbs creates a warm contrast to the cooler anatomical details inside. The result is a figure that is both cute and unsettling—a teddy bear in an X-ray image, a toy as an educational tool, a collector's item as a scientific illustration.
At 28 cm tall, this 400% Bearbrick is a statement piece that invites a second look. The longer you contemplate the artwork, the more details are revealed – a visual meditation on what truly binds us together.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does it arrive ready to display, or do I need to assemble it?
It arrives ready. Medicom Toy assembles every figure at the factory, so the piece you unbox is the finished article — no parts to fit, no seams to press together, and no chance of marking the paintwork while you handle it. Take it out of the box and it can go straight onto the shelf.
What box does it ship in?
Yours comes in the official Medicom Toy box it left the factory in — the exact packaging listed in the specifications above. Collectors treat that box as part of the piece, and an intact one makes a real difference if you ever resell, so we never ship it bare: it travels inside a second outer carton with padding, which is what absorbs the knocks in transit.
What is it made from, and how should I look after it?
ABS plastic, unless the specifications above say otherwise. Looking after it is mostly about dust: a soft dry cloth, used gently and fairly often, is all it needs. Chrome finishes show fingerprints badly, so handle those with cotton gloves if you have them. Keep the figure out of direct sun and away from damp rooms — both attack the colour and the material over time, and a faded piece loses value as well as looks.
When will it leave, and when will it reach me?
Order before 2:00 pm on a weekday, or before 11:00 am on a Saturday, and it goes out with DHL the same day. From there, reckon on 1 to 2 working days inside Germany, 2 to 4 for the rest of the EU, 3 to 5 for the United Kingdom, and 5 to 10 for the USA and Canada. A tracking number reaches you either way, so you can follow the parcel rather than wonder about it.
What will delivery cost me?
Nothing, on orders from €75 within Germany and to the EU countries we deliver to. Below that the flat rate is €4.90 within Germany and from €7.90 elsewhere in the EU. Orders to the United Kingdom ship for €11.90 and start at €165, and the USA and Canada are priced by parcel weight from €26.49. For those three, customs duty and import tax are settled by us, so nothing further is charged when the parcel arrives. Every rate is listed on our Shipping & Returns page.
How can I pay?
PayPal, Klarna if you would rather pay on invoice, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card — VISA, Mastercard and American Express are all accepted at checkout.
What if it is not what I hoped, or it arrives damaged?
Send it back. You have 30 days, and the return costs you nothing: message us by phone, email or chat and a prepaid DHL label comes back to you. Once the figure reaches us we refund the full purchase price, and that includes whatever you paid for shipping in the first place.
Does it come with proof that it is genuine?
At 200% and above — 100%+400% sets included — Zaiser Art Gallery issues a separate certificate of authenticity for your records, on top of the manufacturer packaging. We stock nothing but genuine Medicom Toy, and the certificate is how we put that in writing.
Do the bigger sizes differ from the smaller ones?
In articulation more than in quality — Medicom Toy builds all sizes to the same standard. What changes is the joints and the canvas. At 400% and 1000% the arms and legs generally turn on a single plane, while the surface area gives artists far more room for fine detail. Drop to 100% or 200% and you often get ball joints instead, which let the limbs move more freely.
