Product details

Product description

This extraordinary Bearbrick from Series 5, released in December 2002, belongs to the fascinating Jelly Bean category and boasts a spectacular thermochromic property: the translucent red material reacts to temperature changes, altering its color intensity depending on the heat applied. Touching the figure leaves visible marks in the form of color changes – an interactive collecting experience that transforms Bearbricks into more than just static display objects.

The Jellybean series is characterized by its signature translucent design, which gives the Bearbrick a special depth and luminosity. This thermochromic model adds an extra dimension: the vibrant red shifts between different shades when the material is exposed to heat. Whether from sunlight, room temperature, or direct touch, the figure becomes a living work of art, constantly changing and never looking the same. These early thermochromic experiments from Series 5 paved the way for later temperature-sensitive releases and demonstrate Medicom Toys' innovative spirit right from its early days.

Series 5, released in late 2002, is among the most sought-after vintage Bearbrick series. At a time when the series was just beginning to evolve from a hidden gem to a global phenomenon, Medicom Toy was already experimenting with unusual materials and effects. The translucent design with its thermochromic function was highly innovative at the time and remains a fascinating feature rarely found in modern releases. The brilliant red color in its original state exudes energy and dynamism – typical of the confident aesthetic of the early 2000s.

As a jellybean figure, this Bearbrick is a statement piece for collectors seeking something special. The combination of translucency, vibrant color, and interactive thermochromic technology makes it a highlight of any collection. Standing 7 cm tall in the classic 100% scale, it embodies the experimental pioneering era of the designer toy movement and remains a timeless testament to Medicom Toys' creative vision.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is this Bearbrick already pre-assembled?

Yes, all Bearbricks available at MyBearBrick.de are delivered fully assembled by the manufacturer Medicom Toy and are ready to display. So there's no risk of damaging the model.

What packaging does this Bearbrick come in?

This Bearbrick comes in the official original Medicom Toy packaging (see specifications). This is often a collector's item in its own right and important for preserving the model's value. We take care to ensure secure packaging for shipping to prevent damage during transport.

What material is this Bearbrick made of and how do I best care for it?

Most Bearbricks are made of high-quality plastic (ABS plastic), unless otherwise stated in the specifications. For maintenance, we recommend gently dusting the figure regularly with a soft, dry cloth. On chrome versions, fingerprints should be avoided; cloth gloves may be helpful here. Direct sunlight and high humidity should be avoided to protect the colors and material over time and ensure long-term value retention.

How quickly will my order be shipped and how long will delivery take?

Orders received by 2:00 PM on weekdays (11:00 AM on Saturdays) will be shipped the same day via DHL. Delivery within Germany typically takes 1 to 2 business days, to other EU countries 2 to 4 business days, and to the United Kingdom 3 to 5 business days. You will always receive a tracking number so you can check the status of your delivery at any time.

How much are the shipping costs for this Bearbrick?

We offer free shipping within the European Union for orders over €75. For orders below this amount, we charge a flat shipping fee of €4.90 for deliveries within Germany and €7.90 for other EU countries. For UK customers, the shipping fee is GBP 10.00 with a minimum order value of GBP 140.00. We cover all customs duties and import taxes for you.

What payment options do I have?

At MyBearBrick.de you can pay securely and conveniently using various payment methods, including PayPal, Klarna (purchase on account), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit cards (VISA, Mastercard, American Express).

What happens if I don't like the Bearbrick or it arrives damaged?

Your satisfaction is important to us. If, contrary to expectations, you don't like a Bearbrick or it's damaged, you have a 30-day free return policy. Simply contact us by phone, email, or chat, and we'll send you a prepaid DHL return label. Once we receive your return, we'll, of course, refund the full purchase price, including any shipping costs.

Will I receive a certificate of authenticity for this Bearbrick?

For all Bearbricks 200% and larger (including 100%+400% sets), we at Zaiser Art Gallery issue an additional Certificate of Authenticity for your records. This underscores our commitment and conviction to offering only genuine Medicom Toy products.

How does the quality and mobility of this model differ from other sizes?

Medicom Toy's production quality is very high across all sizes. Larger models (400% or 1000%) often offer more space for detailed designs. However, the joints vary depending on the size: In larger models (400% and 1000%), the arms and legs usually rotate in a single plane. Smaller Bearbricks (especially 100% and 200%) often have ball joints, allowing for more flexible movement of the limbs.
