1000% Bearbrick: Size, Price, Placement and Care

Updated 14 November 2026 · Written by Bjørn Gram, Bearbrickz.com

A 1000% Bearbrick is the figure guests notice when they walk into the living room. It is also a purchase that calls for a little more thought than a 400%: it takes up space, it costs more, and it needs to stand somewhere it will not get knocked over. Here is what you need to know before you buy a 1000%.

How big is a 1000% Bearbrick?

Bearbrick sizes are given as a percentage of the 100% figure of approx. 7 cm. A 1000% is therefore approx. 70 cm tall. Compared with the other sizes, it looks like this:

That is taller than an ordinary coffee table. The figure has the same proportions as the smaller sizes, so it also becomes considerably wider and deeper. See all the sizes side by side in our size guide.

How much space does a 1000% need?

Measure the space before you order. Most ordinary bookcases have shelf heights of 30–40 cm, and a 1000% will not fit. Fortunately there are several good solutions:

• On the floor: Next to a bookcase, in a corner or at the end of a sofa. A small plinth or pedestal lifts the figure and makes it less exposed to the vacuum cleaner.
• On a low sideboard: This brings the figure up to eye level when you are sitting down. Make sure the surface is level and deep enough for the whole base.
• In a tall display cabinet: The best protection against dust. Measure the internal height – you need more than 70 cm, plus room to lift the figure in and out.
• On top of a low bookcase: A 1000% on top of a bookcase of 400% figures works well as the finishing touch to the collection.

Checklist before you order

1. Measure the height of the spot you have in mind – you need more than 70 cm of clear height.
2. Measure the width and depth, and compare them with the pictures of the figure you have your eye on.
3. Check that the surface is level and stable.
4. See whether the sun hits the spot during the day – in summer too, when it is higher in the sky.
5. Think about who will receive the parcel and where it will be unpacked.

Allow a few extra centimetres in every direction. For more ideas on making a 1000% the centrepiece of your collection, see our guide to displaying Bearbricks.

Stability: how to keep it standing safely

A 1000% is made of plastic, but it is tall, and its centre of gravity sits higher than on a 400%. A push from a child, a dog or a door swinging open can knock it over. So:

• Place it on a firm, level surface – never on a wobbly shelf or a soft rug.
• Keep it away from walkways, doors and places where children play.
• Use museum wax or museum gel under the feet if it stands on a piece of furniture. It holds it in place without damaging the finish.
• Make sure the furniture itself is secure – a tall bookcase with a 1000% on top should be fixed to the wall.
• Lift the figure with both hands under the body and head, not by the arms.

Delivery of a 1000%

We ship your 1000% within 1–2 business days, and you receive a tracking number by email so you can see when the parcel will arrive. As every 1000% figure costs over €200, EU orders qualify for free shipping within the EU. The parcel is large, so think about where it should be delivered if you are not at home yourself.

When it arrives, check the box for damage before you open it, and look the figure over for scratches and dents. Scan the NFC tag if it is a newer release – read how in our authenticity check. If there are any problems, write to info@bearbrickz.com with photos. You have a 14-day right of withdrawal.

Keep the box. It takes up space, but it is the best protection if you move house, and it affects the resale value.

Caring for a large figure

A 1000% collects more dust than a small figure, simply because there is more surface. Wipe it now and then with a soft brush or a microfibre cloth, and avoid water and cleaning products. Flocked figures, such as the Tom Flocky edition, should be brushed gently with a soft brush. Chrome shows fingerprints, so use a dry microfibre cloth. Never place it in direct sunlight – the colours can fade, and on such a large surface it shows clearly.

A 1000% as a group gift

A 1000% is an obvious group gift for a milestone birthday, a confirmation or Christmas. If five people share a figure at approx. €805, that comes to approx. €160 each – roughly the price of a single 400%. You can also choose from common payment methods at checkout.

Find more gift ideas in the birthday guide, the confirmation guide and the Christmas gift guide.

400% or 1000%?

If you do not already own a Bearbrick, a 400% is the safe first choice – it typically costs approx. €200 and can stand on an ordinary shelf. See the guide to your first Bearbrick. A 1000% is the right choice when you have the space and want one figure that fills the room rather than several small ones. Many collectors end up with both: a 1000% as the centrepiece and a row of 400% figures around it.

If you choose a 1000%, pick a design you know you will love for many years. A large figure is harder to move around and swap out than a 400%, so it should suit the room and the rest of the collection. Several of our 1000% figures also come as 100% + 400% sets in the same design – for example Mickey Mouse (Brave Little Tailor), Jerry Classic Color and KISS Demon – so you can start at the small end and build on the same theme.
