Bearbrick Sizes Explained | 100%, 400%, 1000% and More

If you’re new to collecting Bearbricks, the size percentages can seem confusing at first. What does 100%, 400%, or 1000% actually mean? These numbers refer to the scale of each Bearbrick model compared to the original 100% size, which stands at just 7 cm tall. Each percentage unlocks a different collecting experience, from tiny keychain-sized figures to full-sized statement art pieces.

70%	~5 cm	Slightly larger keychain format used for event releases.
100%	7 cm	The standard Bearbrick size, often sold in blind boxes.
200%	~14 cm	Double the size of the original, uncommon but highly collectible.
400%	28 cm	The most display-friendly edition, popular among collectors. View 400% Collection
1000%	70 cm	The largest and most prestigious size, a true centrepiece. Explore 1000% Collection

100% Bearbrick: The foundation of every collection

At 7 cm tall, the 100% Bearbrick is where most collectors start. Sold in blind boxes, each series contains a mix of designs and rare “chase” figures. They’re small, affordable, and a great way to experience the excitement of Bearbrick collecting.
