About Tom and Jerry Bearbricks
Tom and Jerry were created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at MGM, and the first film, Puss Gets the Boot, came out in 1940. Since then the cat and mouse have chased each other for generations, and they are some of the best-known characters in cartoon history. Medicom Toy has made them in several editions, and the fun thing about the theme is that they make sense as a pair: one Tom and one Jerry side by side.
Which editions are there?
Classic Color
The figures in the classic cartoon colours: grey-blue Tom and brown Jerry. We have Jerry Classic Color as a 400% & 100% set and Jerry Classic Color in 1000%.
Flocky edition
Flocky means the surface is flocked, in other words covered in a soft, velvet-like coating. It gives the figure a fabric-like fur that looks completely different from smooth plastic. We have both Tom and Jerry as flocky 400% & 100% sets and Tom Flocky edition in 1000%.
Costume version
Jerry (Costume Ver.) is a 400% where the bear is dressed up as Jerry.
Sizes and prices
400% (approx. 28 cm) currently costs from approx. €175 to approx. €200, and 1000% (approx. 70 cm) is approx. €700. If you want a matching pair in 1000%, Jerry Classic Color and Tom Flocky are the two we have right now. Tom Classic Color in both 400% and 1000%, and the Hogwarts House Robes editions, are sold out.
Caring for flocky figures
A flocked surface collects dust and lint more easily than smooth plastic. Use a dry, soft brush and avoid damp cloths, which can mat the coating. Keep the figure out of direct sun, and keep the box. You can wipe smooth Classic Color figures with a microfibre cloth.
